Product Information
Full details
The Floso Dane RPET Folding Umbrella is an ideal accessory for commuters and city dwellers looking for a reliable, eco-conscious rain solution that fits easily into a bag. It offers the key benefit of a compact 3-section folding frame paired with a sustainable RPET fabric construction, though users should note that as a manual folding umbrella, it lacks the one-touch auto-open functionality found in some higher-end tactical models.

FAQs
What does RPET mean?
RPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, meaning the fabric canopy is made from recycled plastic materials.
Is this umbrella windproof?
The iron ribs provide durability for standard wind conditions, but it is not marketed as 'storm-proof' or designed for high-altitude gale-force winds.
Does it come with a storage sleeve?
Yes, it includes a matching sleeve designed to hold the umbrella when folded.
How large is the canopy when open?
The canopy measures 21 inches, providing standard coverage for one adult.
How do I clean the canopy?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water to gently spot clean any dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the canopy in soap.
Is this an automatic umbrella?
No, this model features a manual open and close mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella is difficult to fold
Ensure you are folding the fabric panels along their natural creases rather than forcing them into the sleeve.
Ribs feel slightly loose
Check the joints for any obstruction; iron ribs should move freely but do not require lubrication.
Handle feels slippery when wet
Wipe the wooden handle with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove excess surface moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Floso Dane umbrella, always follow these care instructions:
- Drying: Always leave the umbrella open to dry completely after use. Closing it while wet can lead to mold, odors, or rust on the iron ribs.
- Folding: Once dry, gently fold the fabric along its existing pleats to keep the material crisp and ensure it fits neatly into its designated sleeve.
- Maintenance: Periodically wipe the wooden handle with a dry cloth to maintain its finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the RPET fabric as this may degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
