■ 4 Features of the Product
In the midst of the intense summer heat, parasols have become an essential daily item. However, we often hear comments like, "high-performance parasols are heavy and bulky" or "folding them is a hassle."
This product is a folding umbrella that combines 100% light-blocking and shape-memory features, while pursuing one of the world's lightest classes* of weight, so it doesn't become a burden for your daily outings.
One of the world's lightest class* at approximately 125g & Compact Design
Thanks to its unique frame design and the use of carbon fiber, it achieves a light weight of approximately 125g, including the umbrella cover. With a slim design of 22cm in height and approximately 5cm in width, it fits neatly into a mini bag.
*Among folding parasols with 50cm main ribs, 100% light-blocking rate, and shape-memory function (as of May 2026, according to Amvel research)
"Instant Pleats™" to shorten storage time
Using special shape-memory threads, it maintains beautiful pleats without using any resin panels that cause weight. Simply close the umbrella and slide your hand down to straighten the fabric, reducing storage time by approximately half (※individual differences apply).
100% light-blocking and heat-shielding protection performance
Our unique "HEATBLOCK" fabric blocks sunlight. It boasts a 100% UV cut rate (UPF50+), 100% light-blocking rate, and 99.9% near-infrared cut rate, providing high heat-shielding effects to reduce strain on the body.
High waterproof performance for both sunny and rainy weather
The surface has an initial water repellency of level 5, and the back has a water pressure resistance of over 12,400mm, comparable to that of a full-fledged rain umbrella. With environmentally friendly "PFOA-free water repellency," it can handle sudden heavy downpours.
■ The unique "flexibility" and smart structural characteristics of pentagon
To achieve its light weight of 125g, this product uses an "ultra-lightweight specialized" 5-rib structure that has been stripped down to the bare essentials. As a result, it possesses unique smart physical properties that differ from those of conventional umbrellas.
A pleasant "flex" that flexibly handles wind
Since the shaft (center pole) is slender, you may feel a unique flex when it catches the wind. This design is not meant to be stiff and rigid, but rather to flexibly "deflect" the impact of the wind by utilizing the excellent elasticity of carbon fiber.
Flexible "inversion" that releases energy without breaking
The umbrella may invert when subjected to strong updrafts from below. This is a mechanism that intentionally inverts to release wind energy, preventing undue stress on the frame and brittle breakage. Because it uses a flexible, durable frame, it is resistant to breaking even when inverted and quickly returns to its original shape.
[Tips for smart use]
On windy days, holding the tip of the umbrella (ferrule) towards the wind will further reduce the strain on the frame. Please understand the characteristics of the tool and enjoy the comfort of using it lightly.
