totes Titan Portable Travel Umbrella – Windproof, Waterproof, Strong, Compact Umbrella – Perfect for the Car, Backpack, and On-the-Go

Nice. Gets the job done.

I will start this by admitting that I live in beautiful, sunny San Diego. It rarely rains. The weather changes so infrequently that I don’t even bother paying attention to the forecast. Which is why this little guy comes in handy. Its small, ultra-compact frame makes it easy to just toss in my bag so that it is always with me in the unlikely event a rain shower pops up. I work in the city and often have to park and walk several blocks as part of my commute. Even if it happens infrequently, getting stuck in an impromptu rainstorm can really ruin a day. Having this little “just in case” umbrella helps keep me dry and my days unruined.

I needed a quality umbrella for my vehicle.This product exceeded my expectations...It is wind resistant up to 70 mph.It is compact yet very large coverage at the click of a button.The cost was very reasonable and it actually helps the environment from being made from recycled plastic components.I would highly recommend this quality item to everyone and I will recommend them to friends and family.

I ordered the black Totes auto open close umbrella from Amazon (not third party seller) and it works very well. The metal ribs are more sturdy than a normal umbrella but the joints broke on mine after a few months of occasional use and the auto open and close feature is very convenient. The umbrella easily fits into my laptop bag but it is a little heavier than a standard umbrella. The umbrella is covered by a Totes warranty but I have to pay the cost to ship the umbrella to Totes. As I write this review, it costs $7.35 for a flat rate envelope from the USPS so that would be an ok option.

This one replicates an umbrella I have already owned for many years but am afraid will wear out or get stolen or lost. My old one is the same brand and the new one is equally easy to close and stow in my purse. Two umbrellas I received as gifts opened nicely but were far too difficult to close again. Even though I lift weights, I'd rather not injure my hands wrestling an umbrella, particularly if its outside my car door in the rain.

My mom liked this umbrella so much, material feels of very good quality, it is durable, ease of opening.

Just received this, open and closed with no issue but when putting my hand through the grip ring, the silver handle came off and the button and spring mechanism flew off. When I went to fix, I realized the plastic bit that the handle cover screwed into snapped clean around half of the bottom. Returning and will now spend more on a different brand to get better quality. Glad this didn’t happen on my trip.

I purchased this for a recent trip to London. It folds up nicely and is compact for traveling. It seems very sturdy. We really didn't encounter windy conditions but the umbrella feels like it would hold up well to wind. Overall, it is a great choice if you are looking for a compact, sturdy umbrella.
