Make your commute to work or school more comfortable! How to choose a lightweight and compact folding umbrella

On rainy mornings, standing at the front door wondering whether to take a big umbrella or prepare to get wet can be a depressing way to start your day. Especially when commuting to work or school on crowded trains or buses, heavy and bulky umbrellas can be an obstacle to traveling smartly.

"So light you forget you're carrying it, yet so reliable." With such an ideal tool, you can move around surprisingly quickly on rainy days. In this article, we'll explore the intricacies of lightweight, compact folding umbrellas, made possible by the latest materials and designs.

Breaking the 200g barrier: Carbon fiber innovation

When choosing an umbrella for commuting to work or school, one criterion is the weight of 200g. This is roughly the same as the weight of a typical smartphone. If you plan to keep it in your bag, whether it weighs less than this number will determine comfort.

In the past, making an umbrella lighter meant making the ribs thinner and sacrificing wind resistance. However, in modern times, this conventional wisdom has been overturned by using aircraft-grade carbon fiber for the ribs. Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, this material allows for both incredible lightness and the rigidity to flexibly withstand even the gusts of wind on street corners.

Thinness and quick-drying properties make urban travel smarter

People tend to focus on the "length" when stored, but when it comes to practicality, the important things are "thickness" and "water drainage." If you want to slip it into the gaps of a business bag or backpack, a model with a flat shape is ideal. It will fit next to your documents and PC and will not ruin the silhouette of the bag.

Additionally, your behavior when entering a train or building is also important. With a proprietary high-density fabric and a powerful water-repellent finish, umbrellas allow most water droplets to fall off with just a gentle shake. On public transportation, where consideration for others is required, the ability to quickly shed water and put the umbrella away in a bag is an essential feature for urban life.
