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

Worked well for rain storms without wind: it folds up small and has a big canopy for the size that it is when closed. First time I had to use it when there were gusts, the canopy detached from one of the spoke ends. Ive had it for less than two weeks and I already have to fix it.

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.

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.

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.

I had one and left it in a hotel a few months ago, after looking at many other options I came right back to this one. Its just about the right size to easily fit in my backpack but still offers enough coverage and its very sturdy. I took my old one to over 30 countries and it lasted me several years.

Good umbrella for a big/tall person or you could get by with two people if need be. Auto open and close are snappy and the build feels solid. My only complaint that you may have to exert a lot of force to fasten the velcro for storage, almost to the point where you are worried about damaging the canopy. Another eighth of an inch of fabric would have been perfect.

It is easy to use and is light.

Best Christmas Present for the ladies (and sister-in-laws) in your life! The price was right too!

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.

Ive only used it once since I purchased it but it is the same umbrella that I have had for years and it is excellent.
