I needed a replacement umbrella for my old Totes umbrella that did so well for so many years.  I was looking for an umbrella to keep in my purse for the unpredictable spring weather in New England.  Overall I give this umbrella high marks.  It's compact and lightweight so it fits easily in my bag.  It opens to a nicely sized canopy that's large enough to keep me dry but small enough that it's not too cumbersome to walk down a busy street with.  It's durable and does a pretty good job standing up to the gusty winds that come off the Boston Harbor.  I'm docking a star because the push button open is great but my favorite umbrella also has a push button close that's awesome if the wind is picking up and you need the umbrella to close quickly and this one doesn't do that.  Other than that this is a nice looking, well made, durable, and very functional.  It's not perfect but it's awfully close.
