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

They said it withstands winds up to 70 mph. I had a previous umbrella that said that, but it did not work! The previous umbrella I had from Macys would open and close, but was very hard to push in and one day after coming home out of the rain, I threw it down the trash chute! I will respond again after using this Totes for a while. UPDATE: I USED THE UMBRELLA FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. IT IS A DECENT SIZE, BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK STRONG AND I AM SURE IT CANNOT STAND STRONG WINDS BECAUSE AN EARLIER BOUGHT UMBRELLA, WHICH WAS STRONGER, COULD NOT STAND THE WIND. ALSO, OPEN AND CLOSE UMBRELLAS ARE NOT GOOD FOR SENIORS OR SOMEONE WHO IS WEAK IN THE ARMS BECAUSE IT IS ALSO HARD TO PUSH IN. AND, YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT IN BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE IT GO UP AGAIN BECAUSE I TRIED IT YESTERDAY. I CLOSE BY PUSHING HANDLE INTO CHEST OR WITH BOTH HANDS IF I AM NOT CARRYING ANYTHING. I DONT LIKE TO CARRY AROUND LONGER UMBRELLAS, SO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THESE SMALLER ONES. WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, THEY USED TO SELL UMBRELLAS THAT WERE A LITTLE LONGER, LARGER AND STRONGER. I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR ONE OF THOSE. MY MOTHER HAS A DUCK FACED ONE, WHICH IS LARGER THAN THIS ONE. SO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UMBRELLA FOR STRONG WINDS! FINALLY, AFTER USING UMBRELLA AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR A LONG AND BIGGER UMBRELLA. I WAS GETTING VERY WET TODAY BECAUSE THE UMBRELLA HARDLY GIVES ANY PROTECTION. I WILL NOT BUY ANY MORE SMALL UMBRELLAS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT OPEN AND CLOSE WITH SAME BUTTON. THEY ARE A PAIN!!! PEOPLE WALKED PAST ME TODAY WITH THE EXTRA LARGE ONES THAT NEED TO BE ON A BEACH!!!

Broke within a few months use. The weak point was the stitching attaching the canopy to the frame. Plan to exercise my lifetime warranty but it will likely cost me $15 in shipping (almost half the price of the item).

I wanted a sturdy umbrella after having several cheaper ones break. This umbrella is a little heavier than others but very wide and well made. Now if I can only keep from losing it!

Great quality for the price. I lost it soon after I purchased it (left it in a shopping cart while I was loading my groceries in my car) and am bummed. I will reorder.

The umbrella is good, but it is a little bit small, not very suitable for men.

Got this to replace another umbrella that was supposedly designed to withstand gusty winds. This Totes umbrella is much better even though its not vented because it uses fairly thick metal ribs instead of the plastic ribs on the Gustbuster. The metal ribs seem to be flexible enough to take the wind, but wont snap like the plastic ribs. Obviously not for hurricane-force winds, but is great for breezy rainstorms.

I dont know if this is really SUPER strong. A strong wind gust still pulled it inside out. But still better than any other umbrella Ive owned. Weve bought three now.

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.

Will stand up to high wind - its a totes

its a umbrella
