Product Overview
The KiMood Automatic Umbrella is a sophisticated solution to the unpredictability of the British weather. Designed with both form and function in mind, this classic 23-inch umbrella combines a traditional aesthetic with modern mechanical reliability. The automatic opening mechanism ensures you can deploy the canopy instantly with one hand, providing immediate protection when the clouds break. Constructed with a focus on longevity, it serves as a professional accessory for anyone representing your business in the field.
Key Features
- One-Touch Automatic Opening: Allows for rapid, single-handed deployment, which is essential when stepping out of a vehicle or carrying other equipment.
- Fibreglass Frame Construction: The use of fibreglass provides the ribs with the necessary flexibility to withstand gusts of wind without snapping or deforming.
- High-Density Polyester Canopy: The 210T polyester fabric offers superior water resistance, ensuring the rain beads off effectively rather than soaking into the material.
- Ergonomic Rubber J-Handle: The rubber-coated polypropylene handle provides a secure, comfortable grip even when wet, maintaining a classic look with a modern feel.
- Reinforced Metal Shaft and Tips: The 10mm black metal shaft and metal tips provide a sturdy backbone to the structure, enhancing the overall durability of the umbrella.
- BSCI Certified: This accreditation ensures that the product has been manufactured under ethical working conditions, meeting high social and environmental standards.
Design & Performance
The design philosophy behind the KiMood Automatic Umbrella centres on resilience. While the 10mm metal shaft provides a rigid central core, the inclusion of a fibreglass frame is a deliberate engineering choice. Fibreglass is significantly more forgiving than traditional steel ribs; it allows the umbrella to flex under pressure, reducing the likelihood of permanent damage during a storm. The 105cm diameter canopy provides generous coverage, keeping the user and their attire dry without being overly cumbersome in crowded urban environments.
The canopy material itself is a tightly woven polyester. This high-density weave is specifically chosen for its ability to repel water and dry quickly. The combination of the matte rubber-coated handle and the sleek black metal components gives the umbrella a professional, understated appearance suitable for any corporate environment.
Customisation: Print Only
This product is available for print only. Due to the waterproof nature of the polyester canopy, screen or transfer printing is the only suitable method for customisation. Embroidering this item would involve piercing the fabric with thousands of needles, which would compromise the umbrella's primary purpose by allowing water to leak through the design. Our in-house printing team in Telford uses specialized inks to ensure your company logo is rendered with precision and clarity within the 15 x 10cm print area, providing a durable finish that will not peel or fade through repeated use.
Use Cases
The KiMood Automatic Umbrella is an ideal choice for customer-facing staff, such as estate agents, site managers, or corporate hospitality teams. It also serves as a premium promotional gift that recipients will actually use, ensuring your brand remains visible every time the weather turns. Given its professional finish, it is equally at home at a formal event as it is on a construction site visit.

Practical Advice
When selecting an umbrella for professional use, consider the diameter. The 105cm span of this model is perfectly sized for one adult, providing ample coverage for a suit or uniform. If you are frequently using this in high-traffic areas, the automatic opening feature is particularly useful for quick transitions between indoors and out.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your umbrella correctly is vital to ensure the mechanical parts and the waterproof coating continue to perform as expected over many years.
After use in the rain, always leave the umbrella in the fully open position to air dry completely before folding it away. Storing a wet umbrella while closed can lead to the formation of mildew on the fabric and may eventually cause the metal components to corrode, which will compromise the automatic opening mechanism.
If the canopy becomes soiled, wipe it down gently with a damp cloth and plain water. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or abrasive brushes, as these can strip away the water-repellent treatment and damage your printed logo. Never leave the umbrella in a high-temperature environment, such as the parcel shelf of a car on a sunny day, as extreme heat can warp the internal frame components.
