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

Totes Titan Mens Super Strong Auto Open is one strong umbrella - it is made with much stronger ribs and should do a lot better in the wind and it snaps open PDQ

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.

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.

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.

I can get a better umbrella for that price.

I had a smaller version of this automatic umbrella so I really like that feature along with the durability of the material that this umbrella is made from. I have always bought Totes as I am always sold on the durability of the umbrella and the sizes that cater to my necessity.

Definetly a good umbrella, folds up to a small size that you can carry in your briefcase. Down here in Florida, I have used it alot. Wind resistance is good and it expands to a reasonable width to keep you dry.

Nice umbrella, but a piece snapped for what seemed like no reason

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

Sturdy small umbrella. The auto close doesnt really close it but gets the close process well started with a push of the button.
