Totes is currently the world's largest trader of umbrellas, rain gear and gloves, with a history of more than 90 years of umbrella making, and is also the patent owner of the first folding umbrella in the United States, currently accounting for about 80% of the market share of the folding umbrella in the United States. The famous transparent bubble umbrella featured in the hit American drama Gossip Girl is from Totes.
 
Totes has a complete product line, from folded umbrellas, straight bar umbrellas, golf umbrellas to bubble umbrellas, and in the European and American markets, Totes prices range from $10 to $40, which is very affordable. Totes has a number of traditional technology advantages, including titan, neverwet, totesCoat, sunguard and auto open/close, which respectively stand for reinforced alloy ribs, water repellent, waterproof, anti-ultraviolet treatment and automatic opening and closing.
 
The most recommended of Totes' products is its Titan product series, which is known for its high-strength materials and high wind resistance, and is priced at 436 yuan, which is the most expensive one of Totes. The Titan's rib is made of steel, aluminium and fiberglass, and the middle bar is made of thickened steel, which can withstand wind speeds of up to 70 mph (about 31.3 m/s, force 11). In practice, Totes' reinforced frame is indeed better able to withstand strong winds, but in daily use, the Titan model often has the problem of swaying, which is said to be caused by the flexible structure between the umbrella rod and the umbrella surface, in order to achieve better wind resistance through small displacements under wind loads.
 
Most of Totes' canopy fabrics are made of lightweight PG fabric, and the water-repellent design of TotesCoat makes it easy to drop water droplets and dry quickly. Due to the thin fabric, Totes' rain and weather umbrellas are not as effective as they should be, but they do not affect the actual UV protection effect.
 
Due to the low demand for sun protection in Europe and the United States, Totes has launched fewer products in the European and American markets with sun protection functions, and only some models have been treated with "SunGuard" sun protection. The so-called "SunGuard" refers to the processing of non-coated UV additives on the base fabric, which helps the umbrella fabric to achieve UPF 50. In response to the higher demand for sun protection in the Asia-Pacific and China markets, Totes has equipped almost every umbrella with "SunGuard" sun protection technology, which is more than enough for daily sun protection despite the thin umbrella cloth. Due to the dual-use nature of the product, the price of Totes in the Chinese market will also be higher than in the United States.
 
The structure of the Totes is relatively simple, except for the Titan series, the wind resistance of other products is not outstanding, and the quality of the wing is relatively rough, and the workmanship is difficult to describe fine. However, for all cases of bone damage, whether man-made or not, Totes guarantees a lifetime warranty. Totes has brand direct sales in domestic e-commerce, and the price ranges from 258 yuan to 436 yuan depending on the model; It is also available in some first-tier city department stores. If consumers have low requirements for the sunscreen effect of umbrellas, it is recommended to choose to buy Totes umbrellas on Amazon overseas, or you can directly shop and purchase them on behalf of you, and the starting price of the basic model can be as low as about 100 yuan.
