Full details
The Alviero Martini 1a Classe Lungo Auto 1000 A Umbrella is designed for individuals seeking a blend of classic sophistication and reliable rain protection for daily commutes or city strolls. Its primary benefit lies in its generous canopy diameter and robust construction, providing superior coverage during heavy downpours. However, as a full-length, non-folding umbrella, it is less portable than compact travel models and requires dedicated storage space when not in use.

FAQs
Is this a compact umbrella?
No, this is a full-length umbrella measuring 97 cm in length and does not fold.
What is the canopy size?
The canopy has a diameter of 107 cm, providing ample coverage for one person.
Does it close automatically?
No, this model features an automatic opening mechanism, but the closing must be performed manually.
Can it withstand strong winds?
The sturdy full-length construction is more resilient than many compact umbrellas, but it should still be handled with care in extreme wind conditions to avoid rib damage.
How should I store it when not in use?
Store it upright in an umbrella stand or hang it by the handle in a dry, ventilated area.
What material is the canopy?
It is crafted from high-quality, water-repellent synthetic fabric designed for durability.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella fails to open automatically
Check if the runner is stuck near the handle. Gently manually assist the slider upward while pressing the open button.
Fabric appears loose or saggy
Ensure the canopy is fully extended until the runner clicks into the locking position.
Frame feels stiff
Ensure no debris is trapped in the hinges. Occasionally, a light lubricant can be applied to the moving metal parts if the frame has been exposed to salt or excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the umbrella is straightforward due to the auto-open button integrated into the handle. For optimal longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Drying: Always leave the umbrella open to dry completely after use. Closing it while wet can lead to fabric degradation or frame corrosion.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because it is a long umbrella, avoid placing heavy items on top of it, as this may bend the ribs.
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then allow it to air dry fully.
- Handling: Ensure the umbrella is not shaken vigorously, as this puts unnecessary stress on the internal tension mechanisms.
