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

Compact design. Solid materials and good construction. Slightly large and heavy for a backpack.

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

Its small and compact, so it fits perfectly in my backpack. I can carry it around without any hassle or realizing I have it with me. The umbrella doesnt get inverted with excessive wind, thankfully. Its a good size for one person. Ive had it for about five months now, and it works like new.

It works as intended. I used it today and found it to block the rain. I could close it and collapse it with one hand.

Got it at a rainy day. My luck.

Great umbrella. Has held up well in the short time Ive had it. Good size canopy for such a small umbrella.

I have had this for a couple months. it has not rained a lot in NYC, I literally used this less than a half dozen times. Today I just noticed the fabric is already tearing and I dont know why. Low quality material. I have cheap $3 umbrellas I bought of the street that are holding up better. So objectively this umbrella is not better than a cheapy $3 off the street umbrella. Buy another brand.

This is my first Titan. Unfortunately, it looks and feels like most other Totes umbrellas. Im not confident in their 70MPH wind claim. Looking at the top of the umbrella shows the same top most weak umbrellas have which fall off after a short while. Except the top on this one is polished. The handle is the only exception where you can see the quality difference. Its better looking and more substantial. I might have overpaid for the fancy Titan name on the package, but well see. 3 stars because, like I said, it looks and feels similar to other Totes. Ill change the review rating if anything changes. I added a photo for size comprison and one of the polished top which doesnt exude strength.

Very well made. Good value

I have bought two of these. the first one worked like a champ and will do so again as you will see in a minute. The first one has a broken rib so it dangles a bit when opened, so i decided to get a second one, and use the first as a back up. So i get the second one, and have used it for about a month though not as often as the first. All went well, until last night. i had opened it when i got home to let it dry out. i went to close it, and when i pressed the button, it did something to the whole mechanism and i could not get the darn thing closed. or reset. or anything. it is now in the trash bin.Okay, i understand that things break, it is the way of things, especially anymore, but considering the price, which while not stratospheric it does pinch a bit, i would have expected better. Heck, i would have expected better from the Totes brand. I have lost many an umbrella, but this is the first one i have owned that just flat out packed it in. i take the bus. had it pulled those stunts there, it would have been a mess....
