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.

Perfect for the windy city

Lifetime warranty invalid outside US and Canda, furious! 3-4 months use then one of the spokes broke. Amazon returns wont give me a refund after 2 and a half months, and the lifetime. So much for super strong

This is my first Titan. Unfortunately, it looks and feels like most other Totes umbrellas. Im not confident in their 70MPH wind claim. Looking at the top of the umbrella shows the same top most weak umbrellas have which fall off after a short while. Except the top on this one is polished. The handle is the only exception where you can see the quality difference. Its better looking and more substantial. I might have overpaid for the fancy Titan name on the package, but well see. 3 stars because, like I said, it looks and feels similar to other Totes. Ill change the review rating if anything changes. I added a photo for size comprison and one of the polished top which doesnt exude strength.

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

So far so good. Remember TOTES includes a lifetime warranty ! Collapses down to reasonable size for your luggage or large purse. Nice size - 47 inch canopy. Recommend.

Solid umbrella but internal components have sharp edges and do not look any different from other lower cost and quality Totes umbrellas. Love the wide velcro closure and has a very smooth open and close.

Theres a bright yellow caution label on the strap that wraps around the umbrella to hold it together. When youre using the umbrella, the yellow looks stupid against a black umbrella. You cant cut off the whole label; the yellow part is sewn to it with the same stitching that holds the velcro strap on. They should have made the part that cant be cut off black, and put the yellow at the end thats easy to cut off. The umbrella itself works well.

Will stand up to high wind - its a totes

Best umbrella Ive owned, and now I have 2 of them (one stays in the car) to make sure I stay dry in this surprisingly wet California winter.
