FAQs
Is the umbrella windproof?
It is built with a sturdy steel shaft and metal ribs, but like most compact umbrellas, it is designed for general rain protection and not for severe windstorms.
How do I close the umbrella?
The umbrella features automatic opening, but it must be closed manually by sliding the runner down the shaft toward the handle until it locks.
What is the diameter when fully opened?
The canopy width is 93cm when fully deployed.
Does it fit in a standard laptop bag?
Yes, with a height of 56.3cm when folded, it fits easily into most backpacks, messenger bags, and large totes.
Are the materials safe?
Yes, this product is compliant with REACH standards, meaning it meets strict European chemical safety regulations.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella canopy will not stay open
Ensure the shaft is fully extended and the slider has clicked securely into the locking notch near the handle.
Automatic button is unresponsive
Check that the canopy fabric is not tangled around the ribs, as this can prevent the spring mechanism from deploying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your umbrella remains functional for years to come, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Drying: Always leave the umbrella open in a well-ventilated area until it is completely dry before folding it back into its pouch. This prevents fabric mildew and rust on the internal metal components.
- Storage: Utilize the included matching pouch to protect the fabric canopy from snags while stored in your bag.
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy and shaft with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty or muddy. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents as they may damage the water-repellent coating.
- Mechanism Care: If the automatic trigger feels stiff, ensure no debris is trapped in the handle mechanism. Avoid forcing the umbrella open if it appears stuck.
