The rigidity of this 230g umbrella. The eight-rib automatic opening and closing system transforms your mobility in the rain.


Automatic umbrellas are smart gadgets for modern urban life. However, in exchange for convenience, compromises have had to be made on weight and vulnerability to wind. "Pursuing lightness makes it vulnerable to wind, while pursuing durability makes it heavy." VERYKAL8 has responded to this challenge not by simply improving its specifications, but by providing a "reliable design" that will keep you going even in bad weather.

The circular structure provides stability and approximately 6% of space

Most lightweight umbrellas are made with six ribs to prioritize portability, but the VERYKAL8 has an eight-rib structure to eliminate the worry of the umbrella becoming unreliable and bending on windy street corners.

Increasing the number of ribs increases the number of points of contact that distribute wind pressure, improving the umbrella's ability to maintain its shape even in winds from multiple directions. Of course, due to its structure, an umbrella cannot withstand every storm, but compared to umbrellas with six ribs, it deflects wind more efficiently, reducing the risk of the umbrella turning inside out or breaking. It also provides a stable and comfortable hold.

Furthermore, the shape is closer to a perfect circle, which increases the coverage area by approximately 6% compared to a typical six-rib umbrella. This slight difference creates the crucial space needed to protect the bottom of your bag or your shoes from the rain.

Carbon fiber makes it incredibly light

The physical limitation of "eight ribs would make it heavy" was overcome by changing the material. High-strength carbon fiber with aircraft specifications was selected for the main ribs. Taking advantage of its light, flexible, and unbreakable properties, this eight-rib automatic opening/closing umbrella weighs an astonishing 230g.

It has such presence that you forget it's even in your bag, yet it's a reliable companion in times of need. This is the ideal balance we aimed for.

Flat operation system and anti-jump function to eliminate malfunctions

We've also thoroughly eliminated the "unintentional operation" that is a major stressor of automatic opening and closing umbrellas. The handle of the VERYKAL8 is designed with a flat button surface. It only operates when you explicitly press it with your fingertip, preventing accidental operation inside your bag.

It also comes with a "jump-out prevention feature" that allows you to push the shaft (center rod) in gradually when storing it. This mechanism prevents the shaft from bouncing back even if you let go of it while storing it, allowing you to fold the umbrella comfortably even in tight spaces. Transform the time spent enduring the rain into the time spent enjoying using your tool. VERYKAL8 will provide powerful support for your daily life.
