totes Titan Compact Travel Umbrella - UV Sun Protection, Windproof, Water Repellent, One Touch Auto Open/Close

Exactly what my husband wanted

Everything excellent! Amazing product!

So don’t let the pictures fool you. It’s compact when folded. But unwrap it and press the button to reveal a big ass umbrella! And press it again to collapse it! It looks and feels really high quality and I can tell by the metal that it won’t just unravel when the wind blows. I bought the black one and it looks professional and work ready, while also compact and has a nice strap attached to it, so it’s perfect for my commute to work. It’s also really affordable for a totes umbrella (this is my third, the first two got lost) with the $4.00 coupon amazon has going. With free next day on Prime! But best of all, even though it’s big, it’s not as big as those ridiculously huge umbrellas people in New York walk around with, so you won’t look like a douchebag when you have it open. Lol Overall, I’m super satisfied with my purchase, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, sturdy, reliable yet compact umbrella, big enough to also cover your backpack. Maybe even with a loved one.

Have gotten it for few days now and used today in the light rain with moderate wind. While umbrella performed well, I had sensation that it might not withstand a wind gust. Will see how it will do in the future

Doesnt worth the high price.

Compact little umbrella.

One rainy night, my boyfriend and I went out for dinner and forgot our umbrellas at the restaurant. Being that its still the middle of winter, I knew wed need them again very soon. I ordered this one but as soon as I did, I saw that it was supposed to rain the next day and I had to stop by a store to grab another one anyways. It was a small one that I can carry around in my bag and I was going to just return this one. BUT after receiving it, I prefer this one. Its slightly bigger and very sturdy - wind resistant and waterproof! I didnt think that this feature would really matter but oh...it so does! When getting in and out of stores, restaurants, cars, etc., all you have to do is give it a couple shakes and voila the water falls off the umbrella! No messy puddles left behind you and youre able to throw it in your bag without getting everything inside it wet. This is a great umbrella...in fact, my boyfriend liked it so much the last time he used it that he ordered one for himself too! Do not hesitate to buy!

The only product that changes more than car models in styles and needless engineering is umbrellas. Often not for the better. I wanted a spare Totes 22605 ca 05956 which I love, 5 stars, but Im not in love with their more current line up. I found the Totes website less than helpful and I struggled with identifying Totes umbrellas closed shapes and proportions. Their catalogs product thumbnails only show the open/deployed configuration, I had to click on each product to view the closed configuration. Quality close-up product photos of the handles (I dont like foam handles, less long term durability, they decompose and crumble over time, harder to control) and materials werent helpful, basically enlarging/upsampling a low quality, small product photo. I settled on the Totes Titan Compact Travel Umbrella, Windproof, Waterproof, Auto Open/Close, which is more compact. The first time I tried to close it, I released my grip on the handle at the first click (how was I to know there was a second click?) and it punched me in the gut. Ill live, more of a surprise, but not a good first impression. In my entire life, Ive never had this happen. There is a false click that made me think the umbrella was latched closed. Ill attribute it to being unaccustomed to the more compact umbrellas. Id still prefer around a 16 inch closed umbrella and a single telescoping joint. Advice, keep closing until you reach the second, stronger latch click. The umbrellas telescoping shaft has a lot of rotational wobbliness at the lower joint, at least 5 degrees. Much more than Ive experienced on any previous umbrellas. I have concerns over how this might interfere with handling, managing the umbrella in strong gusty conditions as wind gust will have a 5 degrees say on where the canopy will turn. The lanyard... the new lanyard gets a 1 star, capital F. First, the old lanyards were like a heavy, woven, durable shoe string and simple. Never going to fail you. The new lanyards are over engineered junk. Instead of a single shoe string, the new lanyards are an assembly with primarily a less reassuring elastic lanyard. Long term, less durable, but I guess theres still a lifetime warranty. Elastic introduces an unwelcome bounce to carrying the umbrella. Elastic will fail much sooner than a shoes string. I really dont like the elastic decision. Next there is a hub component with the Totes logo on it that reduces the lanyard down to a heavy dental floss diameter string that connects to the handle. Again, the this doesnt inspire confidence. Unfortunately, the handle isnt designed that would allow me to retrofit the umbrella with a better lanyard. Current product photos conceal details on the lanyard. To their credit, Totes has a decent lifetime warranty. Hoping they will replace the lanyards for free without the $5 shipping fee.

I was very pleased to find this Totes brand umbrella at a competitive price. I was not disappointed - well made, easy to use, larger than most compact umbrellas, and everything about it indicates that it will last. Very pleased, would buy again.

Small, sturdy and easy to operate - Perfect for travelling.
