Product Information
Full details
The Samsonite Rain Pro is a reliable, full-sized umbrella designed for individuals seeking robust protection during inclement weather. Featuring a professional, functional aesthetic and high-quality materials, this umbrella provides ample coverage through its 103 cm diameter canopy. While its durable construction and Teflon-coated fabric ensure excellent water resistance, its 87 cm closed length makes it a permanent fixture for your entryway rather than a compact travel accessory that fits easily into small bags.

FAQs
Is the Samsonite Rain Pro considered a travel umbrella?
No, it is a full-sized umbrella with an 87 cm length when closed, making it better suited for daily transport in hand rather than inside a bag.
What is the benefit of the fiberglass frame?
Fiberglass is more flexible than metal, allowing the ribs to bend under pressure and return to their original shape without breaking in high winds.
Can I put this umbrella in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash the umbrella as it will damage the frame and degrade the protective coatings.
Is the umbrella windproof?
It is wind-resistant due to the fiberglass construction, but it is not intended for hurricane-force winds.
Does it come with a sleeve?
The product is designed for simplicity; check your specific packaging for an included protective sleeve, which is recommended for storage.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella feels stiff when opening
Gently shake the umbrella to loosen the ribs before pressing the open mechanism, ensuring no fabric is snagged on the frame.
Water begins to soak through the fabric
Over time, the water-repellent coating may wear off; you can revitalize the outer layer using a standard fabric water-repellent spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This umbrella is ready to use right out of the box with no assembly required. To maintain the integrity of the Teflon coating, avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive brushes when cleaning. If the canopy becomes dirty, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap.
Crucially, always leave the umbrella in an open or semi-open position until completely dry before storing it in a closet or holder. Closing and storing the umbrella while wet can trap moisture against the fabric, which may lead to fabric degradation or handle issues over time.
