Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this umbrella provide 100% protection from the sun?
It provides UPF 50+ protection, which blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays.
How long is the umbrella when folded?
The umbrella collapses to 7.5 inches in length.
Can I put the umbrella in the case while it is still wet?
While the case is designed to hold the umbrella, it is recommended to shake off excess water and air dry the canopy whenever possible to prevent mildew.
Is this umbrella suitable for high winds?
It features 6 reinforced ribs for stability, but it is primarily designed for standard city conditions rather than extreme gale-force winds.
How do I clean the exterior of the capsule case?
Wipe the matte case with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
What is the canopy span when open?
The canopy provides a generous 37.4 inches of coverage.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella will not fit back into the capsule case
Ensure that the canopy material is folded neatly along the existing creases rather than bunched up.
Umbrella frame feels stiff when opening
Gently shake the umbrella to release the ribs before pushing the runner up to avoid straining the mechanism.
Fabric appears to be soaking through
The fabric may be saturated from prolonged exposure. Ensure the umbrella is allowed to fully air dry between uses to maintain the water-repellent properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To deploy the umbrella, release the velcro strap and slide the runner up until it clicks into place. When closing, press the release button on the runner and slide it down. To ensure the umbrella lasts, always shake off excess water after use and allow it to air dry in an open position before folding it back into the capsule. Avoid forcing the ribs if you encounter resistance while folding. Clean the canopy using only a soft, dry cloth; do not use harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the UV coating.
