Our innovative safety frame is featured on all Compact models; the frame function is automatic opening with semi-automatic closing. The final step of retracting the canopy to the handle is no longer cumbersome due to the self-locking spring, the effort required is much less than conventional frames.

1

Open:  Unsecure the canopy tie band, press the button - If the button will not easily depress, it is likely the spring mechanism is not seated properly, ensure step #3 is checked.

2

 Close: Press the button again to retract the canopy.

Secure: With the opposite hand collapse shaft into the handle, wait for a "click" noise as heard in the video.  Then it has been retracted properly.  The shaft will not spring back accidentally if let go during this process; an important safety feature.  *Do not store wet umbrellas in Stash bags long-term, allow to air-dry with the tie band unsecured over night.
