Totes have many variations, even the large signature golf umbrella.  This particular one is fast opening AND closing despite being 56" wide open.  It will withstand horizontal, windblown rain near buildings or other structures. The most recent improvement, an important one, is an easy grip, rubber auto handle that does not slip when wet.  Wet metal and wood handles slip. When folded, the umbrella fits in a gym bag, briefcase or large purse.
