Eliminate the noise of your thoughts with the "thinness of 35mm." The ALTERNA SLIM60 transforms the mobility of urban life.
"If you choose lightness in your folding umbrella, it will be small, but if you choose size, it will be heavy." We have accepted this contradiction as a given and have always accepted compromises. However, in today's lifestyle, where minimalism in possessions and high functionality are both sought, umbrellas cannot remain the same as they were before.
Our answer to this question is the ALTERNA SLIM 60. This is not just an update to your rain gear, but a device that will update the quality of your travels.
The coexistence of "slim" and "wide" thanks to clever structure
The first thing that strikes you when you hold the ALTERNA SLIM60 in your hand is its incredible thinness. With a diameter of just 35mm when stored, it fits like a well-designed part into the gaps in your business bag or the side pocket of your laptop case.
This slimness is achieved through a unique frame structure design. By minimizing the dead space where the ribs overlap and precisely controlling the volume when stored, the bulkiness of conventional folding umbrellas is a thing of the past.
However, once opened, a vast personal space appears, measuring approximately 107cm in diameter. This is slightly larger than a typical folding umbrella, and offers coverage similar to that of a long umbrella. This provides ample space to protect your backpack and important belongings from sudden rain.
Synchronicity between carbon fiber and ultra-thin fabric
Lightweight is key when it comes to everyday tools. The ALTERNA SLIM60 weighs just 162g, which is lighter than the latest smartphones and so light you'll forget you're even carrying it in your bag.
This lightness is supported by a frame made of high-strength carbon fiber, the same as that used in aircraft, and an ultra-thin fabric that is only 0.05mm thick. However, just because it is thin does not mean it compromises on functionality.
The underside of the fabric is coated with a dense polyurethane coating, ensuring over 95% UV protection. This makes it a tough umbrella that can withstand sudden downpours, while also functioning as a parasol to block out strong sunlight. No more having to check the weather forecast and worry about which umbrella to bring.
Aesthetics as a tool in your hands
Our goal was to create a tool that you wouldn't even notice you had, but that would deliver maximum performance when you needed it.
"Slim yet reliable"
The ALTERNA SLIM60 , a sophisticated synthesis of these seemingly contradictory elements, will make your mobility lighter and more flexible. Whether commuting to work, school, or travelling, experience the peace of mind that comes with having this watch by your side no matter what the sky.
