totes Titan Compact Travel Umbrella, Windproof, Water Repellent Auto Open/Close , Black

Great little Umbrella. Compact easy to store in the car. Seems fairly robust or at least robust enough for California rain

Water beads off it. Thought from the description that the umbrella would be big and heavy but it seems strong and light.

Superb design and easy to use.

Really responsive and effective, even though we didnt have to test it in high winds.

I have had this for a couple months. it has not rained a lot in NYC, I literally used this less than a half dozen times. Today I just noticed the fabric is already tearing and I dont know why. Low quality material. I have cheap $3 umbrellas I bought of the street that are holding up better. So objectively this umbrella is not better than a cheapy $3 off the street umbrella. Buy another brand.

This seems very strong and its compact and works well. I dont know why this is listed as womens accessories. The black one works well for mem, too.

Only the top part of this umbrella closes. You have to pull it down the handle to completely close it. Extreme caution has to be taken when doing this because the ribs are VERY sharp. I am returning it. Its inconvenient and dangerous.

While the umbrella is made to be super strong, the plastic parts that give the curve to the canvas broke. No way to replace just that part. Have to buy another one. Thats a waste and not worth the extra you pay to get a super strong umbrella that doesnt break under moderate winds. A pity.

Good umbrella for a big/tall person or you could get by with two people if need be. Auto open and close are snappy and the build feels solid. My only complaint that you may have to exert a lot of force to fasten the velcro for storage, almost to the point where you are worried about damaging the canopy. Another eighth of an inch of fabric would have been perfect.

Does the job- its an umbrella.
