totes Titan Compact Travel Umbrella - UV Sun Protection, Windproof, Water Repellent, One Touch Auto Open/Close

size is smaller than expected.

Keep rain off my person during walking portion of commute

OK

I love it

Always there

Pretty sturdy, more metal in it, and a larger canopy than others. Have not been in a big wind yet. Normal rain works fine and better than the Joseph Bank one I had.

I had 2 small Totes umbrellas - Totes Elements and Totes Titan Compact And a big one - Totes Super Strong, which I lost on the park bench. Totes Super Strong was a big real hardcore umbrella, quite heavy though and destined to be lost due to tired hands. Totes Titan Compact presents a more compact version of it without sacrifices against stormy weather, heavy rains, intense November winds etc. Totes Titan Compact version represents a more solid build, reinforced ribs, but the same in size and shape as Elements, slightly heavier and thicker. The only difference is Elements is thinner, lighter, slightly smaller in length. They are like 2 brothers - once tough and sturdy for stormy, windy aggressive times, the other is for regular mild rains. Both complement in each other in the own mission - keep you dry. Particular nuance of the Totes umbrellas is when you leave it at the door, it is dry in 5-10 minutes, while other umbrellas are soaking like swamp for 30 min or an hour. Totes Titan Super Strong - large, long, heavy, for big tall athletic men Totes Titan Compact - you get the same as Super Strong but in a compact shape Totes Elements - smallest and probably most effective compact urban umbrella for regular rains A combination of words Titan and Compact is a winning formula. I stopped buying other no name brands in comparison with Totes, because those blurry brands under-deliver quality in too many ways. Get to know Totes and you will like it as much as I do.

Strong umbrella worth the money. Nu’ff said

I worked in NYC and was always running into different challenges with storms coming off trains, planes, and automobiles. This little workhorse never let me down. Glad to be able to find it. Not cheap - but does a great job.

best umbrella we ever had!!!
