Lighten your daily load. Reliable shade at 14.8 cm.

You want to be prepared for strong sunlight or sudden rain, but you're hesitant to carry a bulky umbrella in your bag. The "FLATLITE Micro HEATBLOCK" was designed to solve this daily dilemma.

Since its feature on "Nikkei Plus 1 Useful Goods" on February 28, 2026, it quickly sold out, causing inconvenience, but it has finally been restocked.

14.8cm Total Length Expands Your Outing Possibilities

The biggest feature of this umbrella is its extremely compact size, with a total length of 14.8 cm, almost the same as a smartphone. It fits naturally into mini bags and clothing pockets, which are popular nowadays.

By being freed from the constraint of "choosing a larger bag to carry an umbrella," you can carry both the high-quality 100% shade that blocks light and provides coolness, and the peace of mind of being able to shelter from sudden rain, all while feeling light and hands-free.

The HEATBLOCK fabric, which blocks UV rays and heat rays effectively and can be used for both sun and rain, creates a deep shadow under the umbrella, greatly alleviating fatigue when going out.

The Secret of the 5-Fold Structure and a Small "Request"

In umbrella design, achieving an extremely small size while also making it easy to fold is a very difficult challenge. To prioritize ultimate compactness, this product adopts a special multi-stage rib structure where the main ribs fold into five sections.

By combining highly elastic materials such as fiberglass, it achieves practical strength to withstand wind despite its small size. However, due to the 5-fold structure with many rib joints, it takes a little more effort to fold compared to a typical umbrella.

It may feel a little frustrating to fold it neatly, but we hope you understand this characteristic as a necessity for achieving its overwhelming small size.

To reduce the stress of storage as much as possible, it comes with a 3cm wide strap that makes it easy to bundle the fabric, and a roomy dedicated pouch for rough storage.

As a minimalist companion that smartens up your daily commute and protects you. Why not start a comfortable habit of always having your favorite umbrella instead of disposable consumption?
