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

Ive been buying TOTES for decades now. Love the brand and the ease of use. I travel for a living and want and need compact, quick and easy access umbrella. Especially in areas where the rain just suddenly comes down (i.e. Florida). This particular model TOTE isnt as compact as I had hoped for. Its also not as automated as advertised. You will have to assist it in both opening and closing. Build quality is very good. Velcro closing strap is nice and wide. Handle is just right for fit. The umbrella is a value umbrella so in fairness, it cant be to perfection. Yet it well deserves 4 stars.

So far it managed to block light from a lightbulb so the sun should be as easily blocked as well. Very sturdy and easy to hold. Retracting is very easy as well compare to low branded umbrellas that sometimes dont feel like retracting to be stored away.

Used this umbrella on windy days and it did not collapse as do others.

It’s a good product. Easy to open and most importantly easy to close. But it seems not strong as described.

Product is smaller than advertised. The site and a label on the umbrella state that the umbrellas are 47” (and my old larger Totes are all in the 47-50” range) but these measured 43”, which does make a difference, and I returned them. I have no idea how you can get a 47” measurement.

Pretty sturdy, more metal in it, and a larger canopy than others. Have not been in a big wind yet. Normal rain works fine and better than the Joseph Bank one I had.

Clip holding umbrella open broke after a few uses. After that, it was useless.

Exactly as described and excellent quality!

Sturdiness is good

Doesnt worth the high price.
