Re: CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD UMBRELLA?

@Tinkrbl44 

 

I found a wind proof, " upside down " umbrella that collapses to a small size when closed on Amazon.  There were several different sizes.  I gifted one to my doctor.

 

The benefit of upside down: it doesn't drip onto the floor of your car, house, workplace, etc.  It is sturdy...costs more than Totes, etc.

I've had a really nice Totes Umbrella for years ... press the button and it opens up.  Unfortunately, closing it was a little tricky.   Now my umbrella has broken ... and I realized I haven't shopped for one of these in approximately 25 years!

 

I know there are new features and materials etc etc ....  I'd really appreciate your feedback .... What do you love or hate about your umbrella?   

 

I don't want to spend $200 on a high quality golf umbrella, but I don't want a piece of kwap, either.   

 

All feedback,  suggestions and recommendations are very much appreciated!

I recently noticed Totes has an umbrella that closes at the press of a button in addition to opening at the press of a button.  At least that's what the little card attached to it said.  If I remember correctly, it was collapsible, too, but not a mini.

I love when they pop open .... but they really also need to pop closed!  thanks ... I will check them out.

I got my golf umbrella YEARS ago at either Target or Walmart (so far back  I can't remember!) and I don't golf! I liked the oversize! It has held up really well and didn't cost 200 bucks.
