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

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!!!

VERY NICE UMBRELLA FOR THE PRICE...I WOULD DEFINIETLY BUY ANOTHER....

Superb design and easy to use.

Fabric seems a bit cheap but its light and the bones seem strong.

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.

The decorative red plastic strip seems to be peeling off after a few uses, but other than that the umbrella works fine.

Works like it should

Ideal commuter size umbrella. Bigger umbrellas are really not suited for use in the city. People who use them are really inconsiderate. The Titan seems well built, but I havent had it long enough to attest to durability. Auto open/close is a great convenience. Bought a Blue Line as well; and they seem comparable.

This seems very strong and its compact and works well. I dont know why this is listed as womens accessories. The black one works well for mem, too.

Holds up well in Chicago wind. Im not a fan of the handle, but durability is what I was after.
