Rigidity packed into 230g. An 8-rib automatic open/close umbrella that transforms your mobility on rainy days.


An automatic opening/closing umbrella is a smart gadget for modern urban life. However, its convenience often comes with the compromise of being either "heavy" or "vulnerable to wind." "Pursue lightness and it becomes weak against the wind; seek durability and it becomes heavy." To address this challenge, VERYKAL8 does not merely offer improved specs, but responds with a "design of trust" that allows you to keep moving even in harsh weather.

The stability of a "circle" through structure, and an extra 6% of coverage

Many lightweight umbrellas prioritize portability and are made with 6 ribs. However, to eliminate the anxiety of an umbrella feeling flimsy and bending on windy street corners, the VERYKAL8 intentionally adopts an "8-rib structure."

By increasing the number of ribs, the points of contact to disperse wind pressure increase, improving the umbrella’s ability to maintain its shape against wind from multiple directions. Of course, no umbrella can withstand every gale by design, but compared to a 6-rib structure, it deflects wind more efficiently and reduces the risk of inverting or breaking, providing a stable experience while in use.

Furthermore, because the shape approaches a true circle, the coverage area is increased by approximately 6% compared to standard 6-rib umbrellas. This small difference creates a "decisive margin of comfort" that protects the hems of the bag you are carrying or your shoes from the rain.

Carbon fiber achieves a lightness that defies common sense

The physical limitation that "8 ribs means more weight" has been solved through materials. We chose high-strength, aircraft-grade carbon fiber for the main ribs. Leveraging its characteristics of being light, flexible, and resistant to breaking, we have achieved an astonishingly light weight of just 230g, even as an 8-rib automatic opening/closing umbrella.

It’s light enough to forget you have it in your bag, yet becomes a reliable partner when you need it most. This is the ideal balance we aimed for.

A flat operating system and anti-rebound function to eliminate accidental operation

We have also thoroughly eliminated the "unintended operation" that causes stress with automatic umbrellas. The handle of the VERYKAL8 is designed with a flat button surface. It only activates when you have the clear intent to "press" it with your fingertip, preventing accidental operation inside your bag.

It also features an "anti-rebound function" that allows for gradual retraction when stowing the shaft. With a mechanism that prevents the shaft from springing back if you release your hand mid-retraction, you can calmly fold your umbrella even in tight spaces. Transform your rain-soaked travels from a "time to endure" into a "moment of satisfaction" using a well-crafted tool. VERYKAL8 strongly supports your daily life.
