> 3 dayThis is a Trenovo automatic open/automatic close Unisex travel umbrella. When folded, it measures 12.6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. It is lightweight black pongee with a matching slip-in case (1.2lbs). It has a generous 46” span when open. There is a wrist strap on the handle to help prevent loss. To open the umbrella, first pull off the nylon cover, disconnect the Velcro closure, clear a 3 foot circle around yourself, and press the “^ or open” arrow on the handle. The umbrella springs out and is now fully operational. To close the umbrella, push the “down or v” button on the handle. Once the umbrella is partly retracted, a very firm push on the center is required to reduce the length to the starting size. Give the umbrella a few spins to even out the pleats, gather the pleats clockwise and set the Velcro closure. To replace the cover, tighten the pleats with one hand while drawing the cover over the dry umbrella. Slide the cover down evenly over the hand-compressed pleats. This umbrella is strong and well made. The high quality and high density 210T “pongee” material is water repellent. Unfamiliar with pongee, I investigated “pongee” on the internet. I discovered that pongee is a “durable and strong silk-like material.” More importantly, “The best quality umbrellas are made of pongee.” Ten reinforced fiberglass ribs on a strong, powder-coated steel shaft support the extra-large, double-vented canopy. Venting allows wind to pass through the center of the umbrella, without turning the umbrella inside-out or breaking it. There is a highly reflective strip along the bottom edge of the canopy for greater safety at night and in low-visibility rain. Fully closing the umbrella may be difficult for children and seniors. Otherwise, this is an ideal solution to using an umbrella in confined spaces. This umbrella makes a great and useful gift. Excellent value for the money. Highly Recommended.
