After my old fiberglass umbrella for more than 10 years was broken, I was looking for a worthy successor. The Tot Long AC is as umbrella properly in order, at Fisselregen to downpour - there was no water through the fabric. The wooden handle is wertig when failed a thin ticking for my taste. The Aufspannautomatik works well. Processing Like all seams are flawless, the chip material error, the 10 spokes are abenfalls in order and keep the fabric even in strong winds well. The Tot acts in my walks with dog also easier than walking stick (like a Nordic Walking pole), which, however, virtually no pressure endures: to slight pressure, the metal rod will bend rapidly, too bad. For Tots is surprisingly light - which could explain the limited stability. I use umbrellas as a commodity, so the design is second- or third-rate and I will not respond. I am very happy as a leisure umbrella, he is doing what he should primarily: act as umbrella. As supportive walking stick he is not really suitable.
