Product Information
Full details
The totes X-TRA Strong Mini Umbrella is designed for commuters and urban travelers who need a reliable, wind-resistant shield that doesn't sacrifice portability. Its key benefit is a 5-section reinforced frame that prevents inversion during gusts, ensuring you stay dry without carrying a full-sized umbrella. The primary caveat is that its compact design requires manual folding and careful storage compared to larger, sturdier golf-style umbrellas.

FAQs
How do I ensure the umbrella lasts as long as possible?
Always allow it to air-dry fully in the open position before folding and storing it.
Is this umbrella windproof?
It is designed to be wind-resistant and resist inversion, but it is not intended for use in extreme storm or hurricane-force winds.
What does PFC-Free mean?
It means the water-repellent coating is manufactured without using Perfluorinated Compounds, which are often harmful to the environment.
Can I put this in my carry-on luggage?
Yes, its 16.5cm folded length makes it perfect for travel and carry-on bags.
Is the canopy large enough for two people?
At 93cm in diameter, the canopy is best suited for one person to stay dry.
What is the weight of this umbrella?
The umbrella is designed to be lightweight for easy carrying, though specific gram weight varies by exact material density.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella frame feels stiff when opening
Gently shake the umbrella to loosen the ribs before pressing the runner upward.
Water soaking through the canopy
The water-repellent coating may have worn off; ensure you are not using soaps to clean it, as this strips the finish.
Difficulty folding the umbrella
Ensure all canopy ribs are aligned and pointing toward the handle before compressing the shaft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your umbrella, follow these maintenance tips:
- Opening: Hold the umbrella away from your face and press the runner until it clicks into place.
- Closing: Press the release button and slide the runner down toward the handle.
- Drying: Always leave the umbrella open in a well-ventilated area until it is completely dry before storing it in its folded position. Storing a damp umbrella can lead to mildew and fabric degradation.
