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

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.

Works like it should

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.

Excellent product--good coverage and wind resistance, with just the right amount of resistance when closing--all at a very good price. I bought this after being disappointed with another, more expensive, brand.

Not usual Totes quality. Last part of ribbing is plastic(!), and broke very easily. Consider Womens Totes--have two, and have lasted longer. Also, less expensive. P.S. Always amazed at how the same product can get 5-star reviews, and 1-star ones! Must have to do with the manufacturing process, mostly in China. Some items are fine, others pretty awful. Weird.

Great for Tucking in your pocket when you dont know what kind of weather to expect

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

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

goood!!!

I wish I had known about this umbrella years ago, before I had gone through so many cheap ones that turn inside out and break a rib at the slightest hint of wind. This one is truly tough and has stood up to some strong winds. As far as I know, you cant recycle umbrellas, so its especially frustrating when they break. Im hoping that with some common-sense care this one will serve me for many years. It was a good purchase.
