Overview

The number one storm umbrella and where it all started for Senz°. The Senz° Original floats on the wind, so you won’t have to struggle. This makes it easy to hold the umbrella with just one hand! It is authentic Dutch design, invented by three TU Delft students in 2006. Senz° has won all major design awards with the Senz° Original and it is still our number one umbrella. This ultimate windproof umbrella is the perfect combination of style and innovation. The elegant frame is made of high-quality materials such as high-grade aluminum. The patented ribs are made from various premium materials such as reinforced fibreglass, to ensure its perfect performance that can withstand wind speeds of up to 100km/h. The comfortable soft foam handle is outfitted with a wrist cord, so you will not lose your umbrella. Our premium, high-density fabric not only protects you from the rain, but it also offers great UV protection. It has a protection standard of UPF50+, which means that over 98% of the UV radiation is blocked!

How do I open/close my umbrella?
Open and close the senz° umbrella with its long side down. When its stormy outside make sure that the short side faces the wind.
senz° original
To open your senz° original you don’t have to push a button. The button is only meant for closing the umbrella. To open your senz° you simply click the two handle parts together by pulling down the upper part. When closing your senz° in stormy weather, turn your back to the wind.
How do I hold my senz°?
Open your senz° with the long side down, making sure that the short side faces the wind. When it’s stormy outside and the wind hits the canopy from below, don’t pull your umbrella back with force, as this can potentially damage the construction of the shaft. It is important to use your senz° with the short side facing the wind. When the wind is blowing from the back, lay the umbrella on your shoulder, as shown on the picture.
It is important to hold your senz° loosely in one hand. This feels very counterintuitive, especially when you’re used to tightly holding a traditional round umbrella. Your senz° umbrella has an aerodynamic design, which needs space to find the most comfortable position in the wind. We have tested our products, with care, and found that your senz° can become damaged when held too firmly with two hands.
How do I keep my senz° in good shape?
Let your senz° dry after use
When you’re comfortably inside after you and your senz° have conquered the storm, the best way to dry your senz° is to leave it open on the floor. This is the best way for the canopy to dry.
Always keep your senz° in its sleeve when you don’t need it, especially in your bag. When your senz° is not in its sleeve, there´s an increased chance of damaging the canopy or other parts. Please put your senz° in its sleeve when the canopy is dry.
Cleaning
You can clean your senz° with water, preferably without using any cleaning products or soap. An easy way to do this is in the tub or shower.
Does my senz° also protect me against the sun?
Love to sunbathe? Then don’t forget your senz° – it’s also the perfect sun shade solution. The senz°automatic, original and xxl have a UV protection layer and can be used as a parasol in bright sunshine to prevent sunburn. Please note, the color of the canopy can fade in bright sunshine. We also recommend you to always use sunblock while enjoying the sun!
