Review on Totes NeverWet Technology Close Umbrella by Sophia Wells

Although this umbrella "closes" automatically, it will not open unless folded and then fully folded and then reopened. It's very awkward that I can't just automatically close it, put it on the floor of the car, and then open it again when I get out of the car. You have to close it and then also seal it before it opens again. The convenience of the automatic closing is offset by the fact that you have to fumble with a wet umbrella to fold it down before you can use it again.
