Eliminate the burden of carrying an umbrella when packing for your trip. The ultra-compact 13cm design gives you ultimate freedom.

Packing for a trip is like sorting out your priorities in life. What to pack and what to discard in a limited space? One thing that has always troubled us is the long-standing contradiction between preparing for rain and keeping our luggage light.

It's a special trip. You don't want to waste valuable space on an umbrella that you may or may not use. However, unexpected rain while traveling restricts your movement and ruins your excitement. To solve this problem, I have poured my 30 years of development experience into creating FLATLITE Travel , the ultimate travel gear.

The unconventional "7-tier structure"

Conventional wisdom for folding umbrellas up until now has dictated that a five-section structure is the limit when it comes to compactness. However, I dared to venture into uncharted territory with a seven-section structure. My sole goal was to reduce the folded-up size to just 13cm, the size that can fit next to a smartphone.

At 13cm, it completely erases the conventional notion of "carrying an umbrella." To achieve a size that can literally be "hidden" in the bottom of a sacoche bag or a jacket pocket, the shaft, made up of seven overlapping parts, was designed with the precision of a precision machine. By combining highly elastic materials and optimizing the size of the parts, it achieves a compact size yet is tough enough to withstand winds of 15m/s.

Benefits that control the uncertainty of travel

The greatest value of this umbrella is the complete freedom from packing stress. Its ultra-compact 13cm design means you won't even be aware that you're carrying an umbrella while on the move. When it starts to rain, you can quickly take it out of your pocket, and when it stops, you can put it back in the gap. This light and easy footwork will dramatically improve the quality of your trip.

No more panicking and rushing out to buy an unaesthetic plastic umbrella when a sudden rain shower hits you on your trip. Keep a 13cm umbrella at the bottom of your bag. It's the etiquette of intelligent travel, putting the uncertainty of the weather under your control. An umbrella shouldn't be a burden that restricts your freedom. With this advanced "joy of being prepared," set out to explore new scenery.
