I have to say I walk to my office most of the time which is a 1.5 mile round trip. And living in the Northeast means mixed weather (not much rain this summer, but the pre-fall season has finally arrived). I've been making a comparison since I bought LifeTek here and bought Totes almost two years ago. You know the saying, "You get what you pay for"? Well it's true. I've had previous 14 month sweepstakes with a "wind opening" feature above. Now the tote was a bit larger, but its quality was questionable after first use. I've noticed that the new LifeTek repels water instantly and I don't have to shake off the remaining rainwater more than once when entering my building. bumper above. Ready. Compared to the totes, some wind wasn't a problem. The bags fall apart and the top "vent" turns out to be junk. The fabric came loose and fell off one of the sleeves. Nothing worse, I mean NOTHING WORSE, than flipping your umbrella over when it spills and you stop to fix it *^&$!@@!. I keep it in my car as it's compact enough to stay in. door compartment. UPDATE: The rain has finally stopped and I can say that the LifeTek model has been reliable. The colleague I ran on laughed that I shouldn't use it in such a wind. When we got to our destination I laughed that the umbrella had no problem and her facial expression justified it.
