totes Automatic Open Extra Large Vented Canopy Golf Stick Umbrella

I have bought only TOTES umbrellas for many years. This is a LARGE umbrella, enough room for 2 people, and is very well made. Plus it's a great price. I didn't pay attention if the weight was listed. My purpose is to take my new puppy out in the rain, which of course she hates. The large size would keep her mostly dry if she stays near me, but it is a bit heavy while also trying to hold her leash and a flashlight. I attempted to return it, and they said keep it and refunded the money. I will give it to my son-in-law who is a bigger man, and I'll get a lighter, foldable one from the same company. Thank you, Totes!

This is my second one. It's very sturdy, has the slit for wind in the top, and has a great size canopy for heavy rain especially when it's windy and blowing in at an angle. Some people like small petite umbrellas. This is not. This is like carrying around a cane. I like it that way. If I'm carrying an umbrella, I want something reliable, not flimsy junk.

I bought a very similar Totes brand umbrella back in 2006-07. It finally got so worn out I needed to replace it in 2022 so it lasted 20 years! I was so sad about replacing it, I looked for the same one and found this. Almost exactly like the one I had, except a newer designed handle. I LOVE this umbrella! It is one click to open, very large, and I think the plain black is so classy looking. Highly recommend totes brand and this particular style as well! If you are on the fence, order it, you will love it!

Well worth the price. Holds up with wind and provides great coverage from rain. Rain also doesn’t stick it either so it’s easy to shake off water before entering a building

So far, so good. We were under a high wind advisory the other day. I opened it up and pointed it directly down wind. The top flap popped up and allowed the wind to pass through without tearing it apart. The neighbors probably thought I was nuts opening a giant umbrella and pointing it sideways in the wind with no rain... I also took it to a soccer game and used it as I watched from the stands. It was big enough to cover me and provide good shade. I have yet to use it in the rain, but will update my review if I change my mind. I like the easy open spring. You just press the button and it slides open. It is a bit heavy, but not so much that you'd have trouble with it, but you can tell it's made solidly.

Tote’s Auto-opening Large Canopy Umbrella Pros: (1) The canopy is nice and large; (2) it opens with the push of a button; (3) it closes up to an easy carry size; (4) it’s lightweight; (5) the handle is rubberized and comfortable; (6) it’s wind resistance; (7) it comes with a Tote’s lifetime replacement guarantee. Cons: (1) It doesn’t auto-close; (2) it’s relatively expensive, compared to other brands with similar features. Here’s what I like best about Tote’s umbrellas: when they advertise “lifetime guarantee,” they really mean it. Several years ago, my wife purchased a Tote’s, large, golf-sized, umbrella. It survived a lot of use, before one of the metal ribs broke. I contacted Tote’s, who instructed me to cut a portion of the velcro strap off, and send them the attached label containing the umbrella model number, along with $5. A couple weeks later, I received a compact replacement umbrella that was much smaller than the one it was replacing. I re-contacted Tote’s and they sent me a larger replacement umbrella at no additional charge. Now, that’s what I call a great lifetime guarantee. If you find my review helpful, please let me know; it makes this old-timer feel useful.

The umbrella is huge! I keep it in my car so if it rains unexpectedly it’s right there. The baby, my husband and I can fit right under the umbrella without us getting wet. It’s wide span so if your walking city streets it maybe difficult to navigate if your short. You’ll bump into everyone’s umbrellas or take up a lot of real estate. If you are tall, you’ll enjoy the sturdiness and coverage Of the umbrella. I would recommend, and before writing this review, I've used it for the last four months without any issues.

We bought this a few months ago based on my experience with the Totes brand. I’ve owned a similar Totes umbrella for about twenty years and it has been and continues to be strong and reliable. This new umbrella has a hole after sitting unused for only a few months. We bought this in August of 2025. It’s now February 2026. I opened the umbrella to use it in light rain and noticed the hole along the seam across one of the ribs. It didn’t look like the fabric failed; looks like there was never enough fabric when it was manufactured. Of course, we are way outside the Amazon return window. I guess this will be our backup if our two-decade-old umbrella ever fails.

Bit heavy. Otherwise, terrific!

Big enough for 2 and sturdy. Quite happy about it overall - some might feel it heavy but I like it

Others told me it was heavy, it is. Most unique comment I can make was the handle is neither comfortable upright or carrying closed as a cane

Excellent umbrella. It is very well made and can handle very strong winds like a breeze.

Good quality
