Always face the top of your umbrella into the wind when in use.

If it blows inside out, flip the cover facing into the wind until it has returned to normal shape.

After use, always leave a wet umbrella open to dry before closing.

Do not store umbrellas in spaces that get overheated or in extreme humidity.

Do not place heavy items on top of an umbrella – as an engineering product this can impact the interaction of the many parts of an umbrella opening and closing mechanisms.

While all umbrellas are built to withstand typical weather conditions, due to unforeseen circumstances, typical of all engineering products, events can occasionally cause them to malfunction beyond standard wear and tear.

To avoid a wet umbrella impacting on your other possessions (if you are not able to leave it to dry) consider placing folding umbrellas in the water bottle pouch of a bag to prevent pressure on other items of value.
