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

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

Thought it was great during the first drizzle I took it out in... then a real rainstorm came through and flipped it inside out (despite its apparent toughness) and now the slightest breeze will make it flip again. Very disappointed.

This is a well built umbrella. Has stood up well so far (2 winters).

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.

Would give it 5 stars but its a little longer (collapsed) than expected and doesnt fit easily in my computer bag. Very sturdy - noticeably weightier than my previous.

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

Its small and compact, so it fits perfectly in my backpack. I can carry it around without any hassle or realizing I have it with me. The umbrella doesnt get inverted with excessive wind, thankfully. Its a good size for one person. Ive had it for about five months now, and it works like new.

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.

Strong and great size and quality

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.
