Knirps A.200 Automatic Open & Close Umbrella

The A.200 combines fashion and functionality with its sleek black frame and wide range of canopy color options. Designed with 8 reinforced ribs to distribute wind load optimally, this umbrella can withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h.

Operating the Duomatic function for hassle-free opening and closing is a breeze, thanks to the extra-wide push button. Featuring a pleasantly large 97 cm canopy, the A.200 provides ample coverage during rainy days. Whether commuting, traveling, or running errands, this compact 28 cm closed length, 360 g umbrella can be easily carried with the added strap on the handle.

For more than 95 years, Knirps has focused on the further development and improvement of umbrellas, using high-quality materials like aluminum from aircraft construction and carbon elements. The brand also takes care to make a sustainable contribution to the environment, utilizing a PFC-free "ecorepel" coating on some models to ensure the umbrella roof repels water and dirt.

Knirps' products present innovation, design, and function in perfect harmony, continuing to make their mark and underscore their entrepreneurial character. Most Knirps umbrellas are constructed to withstand inversion, featuring a safety mechanism that allows them to be easily folded back by closing the umbrella if flipped, avoiding rib breakage.

All Knirps umbrellas are technologically advanced to minimize the risk of wind damage, with added flexibility in the umbrella frames to reduce stress on the ribs. To best care for a Knirps umbrella, it should be fully opened for complete drying after each use. Once dry, it can be closed/folded and the band secured, but not too tightly. Cleaning should be done with a soft cloth moistened with plain water, as cleaning products may destroy the waterproof coating.

While Knirps strives to build extremely reliable umbrellas using robust, high-quality materials, damage due to wear and tear or strong wind is not covered under their promise. However, the brand offers three distinct product lines to cater to different needs:

The T.Series features the most stable Knirps folding umbrellas, tested in the wind tunnel up to 150 km/h. The A.Series provides unbeatable value, with the A.200 model specifically designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h. The U.Series is the lightest pocket umbrella, weighing hardly more than a smartphone, yet still capable of withstanding strong winds up to 120 km/h, depending on the style.

No matter your needs, Knirps has an umbrella to suit you. Visit the store to explore the full range of options.
