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

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.

Compact design. Solid materials and good construction. Slightly large and heavy for a backpack.

Great

This is a good practical product that gets the job done. I have used Totes products over the years and always been satisfied.

Best umbrella Ive had. Espescially appreciate the one-handed quick-action folding function for quick city life.

Broke twice. Their lifetime warranty makes you wait a few weeks, pay for shipping to them and adding 5usd for shipping back

Theres plenty of confusion here on sizing. First of all, there are apparently both mens and womens Titan umbrellas with different sizes for each (never mind the box has no gender label). Second, the dimensions given by Totes reflect what they call the Arc Dimensions, which is a perfectly useless and deceptive measurement, since it traces the circumference/curvature of the umbrella canopy rather than a measurement on a straight plane. Totes claims 47 for the arc dimension of this umbrella, but measuring straight across at the widest point yields a measurement of just 42. Way too small for a tall person with a big stride, despite claims here that the umbrella is big enough for several people. This umbrellas going back.

I like that its compact. I can keep it in my back pack and forget about it till it rains.

It is strong enough that can bear most wind in daily life. The auto open and close unit is smooth. I give four star because I dont appreciate the so-called life-long warranty of totes. You should pay additional fee for warranty and cannot get warranty in store.

Bought this one to keep in the car door pocket. Its the perfect size and is ever handy for those days that we drive into the rain.
