This umbrella survived a hurricane. No joke! TOTES has a lifetime warranty on their umbrellas. The coolest part about this umbrella is that it collapses when you push a button. So what right? Well, it makes getting into your car without getting wet much easier. I am able to sit in my car while holding an umbrella over me and then press a button to automatically collapse it neatly. AWESOME! Totes, I am a fan for life. I am buying another one for my wife!
