Folding umbrella fact #1

→ It breaks in strong winds.

Have you ever had an umbrella break when you opened it on a windy day? Or even on a day when the wind isn't blowing that much, you're walking through a city of buildings and the wind from the buildings suddenly blows your umbrella and it breaks?

Plastic umbrellas are divisible.
But it would be sad if it was your favorite umbrella that you had carefully selected.

You may be thinking about buying a new umbrella every time yours breaks, and giving up on using an umbrella on windy days.

With this, you'll never need to buy a new umbrella again.
This is an umbrella that we would highly recommend, especially to office workers who have to go out often for work.

KUAIZI: A super strong folding umbrella that can withstand wind speeds of up to 150km/h!

KUAIZI Waterproof
High strength fiber material and high density water repellency

●Special double-structured ribs
The ribs of the KUAIZI umbrella are bonded using a double fiberglass bonding method to increase their strength, and their greatest feature is that they do not deform even when blown by strong winds, and can maintain their shape.
According to the standards of the Taiwan Typhoon Information Center, the structure has been tested and found to be robust enough to withstand Class 14 (wind speed: 150-184km/h). It will not break even if it is run over by a 2.5-ton vehicle.

●Super water-repellent finish with outstanding water repellency
It uses high-density water-repellent fibers that dry quickly with just a light shake even after use in heavy rain. It achieved a water-repellent effect of Class 1 (small water droplets adhere to the product even when it is not wet after the test) in the water-repellent test conducted by a Japanese testing agency*4.

●Designed with an emphasis on ease of use
Not only is it strong, the umbrella fabric has a UPF50+ rating, making it extremely functional as a parasol.

Folding umbrellas: Part 2

→ Umbrellas are small, so your shoulders get wet and they break easily

Even though we know that folding umbrellas are more likely to break than long umbrellas and will get wet because they are small, there are days when we choose a folding umbrella to reduce the amount of luggage we carry.

It's a folding umbrella, yet it's strong. It's large. And it rotates to prevent collisions...
Introducing this dreamy umbrella.

Because it is large, it is a little heavy, so it is recommended for men who will definitely use an umbrella but want to reduce the amount of luggage they carry.

Rotates to avoid collisions! Folding umbrella 'PORTOBELLO'

PORTOBELLO OPEN UMBRELLA
The umbrella shaft rotates 360 degrees, and is large enough for 2-3 adults to fit inside.

● Umbrella fabric rotates 360 degrees
The uniquely designed canopy is designed to rotate 360 ​​degrees around the central axis.
Not only does it minimize the impact when two umbrellas collide, it also has the benefit of reducing water splashes by deflecting the impact.

● Creates a "wind escape route" to prevent the umbrella from flipping over
To protect against strong winds, the umbrella cloth is double-layered to create an "escape route" for the wind and prevent the umbrella from flipping over.
In addition, the umbrella cloth is overlapped by a width of about 9 cm to prevent rain from getting through.
The product uses environmentally friendly, ultra-water-repellent processing technology developed exclusively by the manufacturer.

●Large size that can accommodate 2-3 people
It is designed to be larger than a typical folding umbrella.
A typical folding umbrella can only hold one person, but the PORTOBELLO is large enough for a family of three to fit inside at once.

Product Specifications

PORTOBELLO is available in 9 colors
  • Selling price: 4,527 yen (excluding tax) • Color: 9 colors available

Folding umbrella fact #3

→ Quite heavy, bulky and easily broken

A folding umbrella is one of the things you should always keep in your bag in case of sudden rain.

However, it is quite heavy and bulky, so many people probably only bring it with them on days when it looks like it might rain.

And it's common to forget your umbrella on rainy days... Even if you buy an ultra-lightweight umbrella, it can break with just a slight impact.

We will introduce you to an umbrella that goes against the common belief that "light umbrellas are fragile."
It comes in a wide variety of colors, so it is recommended for both men and women.

Tube Auto is a lightweight yet durable folding umbrella with a 360-degree rotation mechanism.
