The defense of "being seen." 3M reflective material turns rainy roads at night into a safety zone.

A rainy night. Raindrops obscure your vision, and streetlights glisten off the road surface. From a driver's perspective, pedestrians carrying umbrellas blend into the scenery and become much harder to see than we might imagine.

This "lack of visibility" is a major factor in the sharp increase of accidents on rainy nights. To solve this serious challenge through technology, we have teamed up with 3M, a global materials manufacturer. Introducing the VERYKAL 3M Reflective Material series, which asserts its presence as if it were glowing itself.

Capturing light across a "surface," not just a "point"

Conventional reflective umbrellas have typically featured auxiliary designs, such as thin strips of tape along the edges. However, in the dark, small reflective "points" or "lines" may not be enough for drivers to instantly and accurately recognize the presence of a pedestrian.

What we pursued was overwhelming visibility that ensures a driver intuitively knows "there is a person there," no matter the angle of the light. The answer was a design that captures light across the entire "surface" of the fabric.

• The power of retroreflection: High-quality 3M retroreflective material is printed across the entire fabric in a geometric pattern. Thanks to special technology that reflects light directly back toward its source (such as car headlights), the entire umbrella functions as a giant reflector.

• Day and night duality: By day, it blends in as a subtle gray graphic; by night or in dark conditions, it reveals its true value. It is a sophisticated "way to wear safety" suitable for those who love functional beauty.

A high-level balance of specs and lightness

When reflective material is applied to the entire fabric, it often tends to become heavy, lose flexibility, or feel stiff. However, the identity of the VERYKAL series is, above all, "lightness."

We adopted a custom-made fabric woven with high-density, ultra-fine 30-denier thread, which is thinner than standard umbrella fabric. This allows us to provide the added value of reflective printing while maintaining a firm structure and the lightness needed for daily carry.

Furthermore, it comes standard with "Easy-Dry" processing for long-lasting water repellency and an "automatic open/close function" for smart one-handed operation. We have not sacrificed the daily comfort of using an umbrella for the sake of safety performance.

Three frames to suit your lifestyle

To bring nighttime road safety to everyone, we offer three models tailored to your needs.

1. VERYKAL (Standard): A lightweight 180g. Minimal equipment for safety that you'll want to keep in your bag every day.

2. VERYKAL LARGE: Approximately 107cm in diameter. A wide size that gives you peace of mind even when carrying lots of luggage, covering your upper body completely.

3. VERYKAL 8: An 8-rib structure that remains unperturbed by strong winds. For those who want unwavering peace of mind on dark roads during bad weather.

On a rainy night, being "seen" — you and your loved ones — is one of the most effective traffic safety measures you can control yourself.

Experience the fusion of technology and design with the VERYKAL 3M Reflective Material. This one umbrella will brighten your dark walk home with reliable peace of mind.
