Great umbrella, glad I ordered 2.... easy to use and not "heavy" as described in reviews I saw when I was shopping...

This is PERFECT if you have to walk,see and you don't want to get wet! The design is exceptional as it curves out and down to shield your head and sholders from the rain. This design reduces the umbrella collision factor as other umbrellas that open wide frequently bump into one another when moving through a crowd.

I love my bubble umbrella! Some of the things I like about it: not too many people have them compared to regular umbrellas; the fact that it's clear, so if I want to hold my umbrella closer to me, I can still see where I'm going; it keeps me better protected, and it doesn't flip inside out as easily when it's windy. The one thing I don't really like, is how it's kinda long and big..not too much though, so that doesn't stop me from using it! :)

I gave this umbrella as a gift to my eldest daughter. She has yet to stop thanking me and telling anyone who will listen, how much she loves it.

This umbrella was a great buy! And with the lifetime warranty, I'm sure I'll never need another umbrella!

Love the protection the umbrella offers, keeps you dry down to your elbows and you can see where you are going!

I love this umbrella! I purchased a different brand first and had to return it because it was so poorly made. You can't go wrong with Totes. My umbrella makes me smile and I'm actually buying another for my sister.

I ordered two of these for my daughters for Christmas. One broke the first day and the other broke after a week. Also the umbrellas were much bigger than I expected, not easy to carry around.

I had a bubble umbrella when I was in high school and have looked for one ever since. Earlier this fall, when the rain was really blowing, I mentioned to my sister that my old bubble umbrella would have been perfect in that weather... I would be protected from the blowing rain and still be able to see cars coming. She didn't know what I was talking about. I found these in time for Christmas-- so I got me one that is truly a clone of my old one (blue handle, blue strip at the bottom) and a clear one for her as a present.

I was happy to find this to be a cute well made bubble. The vinyl is sturdy and not wimpy like other bubble umbrellas. It is manual open and close--not the best choice for a child under 14--a little cumbersome to operate and a bit heavy. Great for a teen or an adult. Overall very happy with the quality and price.

Clear, good coverage
from Glendora, CA on 1/15/2008
Perfect gift for everyone-and EVERYONE loves having an umbrella they can see through-during the rainest of storms.
from Davenport, FL on 1/8/2008
Best umbrella I have ever had.

is good
from Seattle, WA on 1/7/2008
This umbrella is super-cute, however, it's very heavy. At first I loved carrying it because it's see through and fun, and the deep bell shape does keep me covered down to my shoulders, but it's not collapsable and since it is so big and heavy, when the wind blows it's very ungainly. It's definitely not as utilitarian as I was hoping it would be, and I don't mind carrying it if I don't have anything else to carry. I've taken to just getting rained on instead of having to lug it on and off the bus and in and out of my car.

Just as described. Love the see through fabric. Goes with anything.
from Manhattan, NY on 1/3/2008
I wish the handle telescoped for easier carrying and storage!
from Chicago, IL on 1/3/2008
I use the umbrella all the time.
Because it is clear it is an essential in a big city, I am able to see other pedestrians, bike riders, and vehicles.
The only down-side is that there is no quick release on the handle. In order to open you have to force the mechanism up the shaft.
from atlanta, ga on 1/3/2008
Because it's clear, you are completely protected from the rain while still being able to see. The plastic is thick and the umbrella is well made. I expect this umbrella will last for a long time.
from McHenry, Il on 1/3/2008
This is a great idea, but I'm too big a person to fit in it. This would be perfect for teens who are waiting for their school buses. It offers very good protection from rain and wind and the big bonus of visibility all around
from Chicago, IL on 1/3/2008
Great for windy and rainy days when you don't want to get everything but your head wet using a regular umbrella. The plastic is clear so you can easily see through it while walking.
from Mahwah, NJ on 1/3/2008
The handle could be just a tad longer I think, and it's a little hard to open, but hopefully it will get easier as I use it more.
from Boston, MA on 1/3/2008
I'm short, so the bubble and the clear plastic not only protect me from the rain, but it allows me to see oncoming passersby and avoids my poking them in the chest or the eye.
from Nottingham, NH on 1/3/2008
It is a cute umbrella that allows you to see all around you. However if you don't dry it out before you close it, the material sticks together and gets spotty.
Please note that PVC is a carcinogen

Perfect in wind and heavy rain. Dry down to your elbows and you can see where you are going.
This is a great umbrella and our daughter-in-law loves it. I like it so much that I will be buying one for myself.
An excellent and truly functional design. The 3 umbrellas made excellent Christmas Gifts for my wife and two daughters.
