"35mm slimness" that eliminates mental noise. How the ALTERNA SLIM60 is transforming urban mobility.
"If you choose a lightweight folding umbrella, it's small; if you want size, it's heavy." We have long accepted this trade-off as a matter of course. However, in a modern lifestyle that demands both minimalism and high functionality, there is no reason why the umbrella should remain stuck in the past.
Our answer is the "ALTERNA SLIM60." This is not merely an update to rain gear, but a device designed to upgrade the quality of your movement.
The coexistence of "Slim" and "Wide" born from structural ingenuity
When you pick up the ALTERNA SLIM60, the first thing that will surprise you is its overwhelming slimness. It has a diameter of just 35mm when stowed, fitting into the gaps of a business bag or the side pockets of a laptop case as if it were a precision-engineered component.
This slimness was achieved through a unique frame design. By eliminating dead space where the ribs overlap and meticulously controlling the volume when closed, we have made the bulkiness of conventional folding umbrellas a thing of the past.
Yet, once opened, a vast personal space of approximately 107cm in diameter appears. This is larger than a standard folding umbrella, offering coverage comparable to a full-length umbrella. Here lies the room you need to protect your backpack and precious belongings from sudden downpours.
Synchronicity of carbon fiber and ultra-thin fabric
For a tool you carry every day, lightness is essential. The ALTERNA SLIM60 weighs approximately 162g—lighter than the latest smartphone, with a nimbleness that lets you forget it's even in your bag.
Supporting this lightness is a high-strength carbon fiber frame—the same material used in aircraft—and an ultra-thin fabric just 0.05mm thick. But being thin doesn't mean compromising on performance.
The reverse side of the fabric features a meticulous polyurethane coating, ensuring a UV protection rate of over 95%. This allows it to function not only as a tough umbrella capable of withstanding sudden rainstorms but also as a parasol that blocks out harsh sunlight. You no longer need to worry about checking the weather forecast to decide which one to bring.
The aesthetics of a tool, in your hands
We aimed to create a tool that is unobtrusive while being carried, yet delivers maximum performance when you need it most.
"Slim, yet reliable."
By integrating these seemingly contradictory elements at a high level, the ALTERNA SLIM60 will make your daily travels lighter and more free. Commuting, going to school, or traveling abroad—experience for yourself the peace of mind that comes from having this one umbrella by your side, no matter what sky you're under.
