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

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

Why only 3 stars? Its the last mile on this umbrella, the high impact pastic rods typical of all Totes to flecks the canopy, they get broken easily. I also regret not getting a vented model+,

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 model Totes auto open, auto close umbrella had worked perfectly for years but I left it in a cab. I was pleased to see same model was still available. The new one works just as well as the one I lost. Other competing umbrella companies claim their umbrella auto opens and auto closes. The ones I purchased only auto open but do not auto close. I returned each of them for a full refund. No explanation for the lack of auto close was offered.

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

Bought this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas and we tried it for the first time this morning (nothing but snow prior to today). Upon opening one of the supporting springs fell out and another broke free on one end. Pathetic. Would not recommend.

Great umbrella. Has held up well in the short time Ive had it. Good size canopy for such a small umbrella.

Very well made. Good value

Good quality. Delivers. auto up AND down super helpful.

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!!!
