Rib length: 60cm / Weight: Approximately 162g

"Slim yet only 107cm in diameter." Easy to carry and just as secure as a long umbrella.

The ALTERNA SLIM60 was created to solve the problem of folding umbrellas being bulky and small. Its unique structure allows it to be stored slim at just 35mm, yet when opened, it opens to a wide 107cm diameter, comparable to a long umbrella.

[Three points of emphasis]

  • A unique design that achieves an astonishing "35mm slim storage" The design shifts the ribs to achieve a thickness of 35mm. Its slimness allows it to easily fit into the gaps in your bag or pocket, eliminating the stress of carrying it around.

  • This umbrella features an ultra-thin PU coating that blocks over 95% of UV rays , protecting your skin from sudden rain showers and strong sunlight while on the move.

  • The large diameter of 107cm and the strong carbon frame weighing approximately 162g ensure a wide 107cm diameter. By using aircraft materials, it is strong enough to pass wind speed tests of 15m/s.

[Commitment to functionality and quality]

  • Made with ultra-thin 15 denier fabric and a thickness of just 0.05mm, it boasts a level 4 water- repellent performance, and after use, you can simply shake it off to remove water droplets, making it a smart choice for travel.

  • The wide band and elastic straps are designed for ease of use , and washers are inserted at the connection points to prevent leaks, ensuring safety down to the smallest detail.

Throw away the common belief that "foldable umbrellas are small" and enjoy the security of a long umbrella in your pocket.

A pile of plastic umbrellas and the discomfort of wet shoulders.

Having worked with umbrellas for over 30 years, there was a common sight I desperately wanted to eliminate. It was the piles of plastic umbrellas that grow with each rain, and the sight of people using small umbrellas, prepared to get wet because "folding umbrellas are unreliable." For business people who carry a lot of luggage, or larger people, conventional folding umbrellas were only used as "emergency evacuations." Is it possible to create an umbrella that eliminates the stress of getting your shoulders or bag wet, and is so slim you'll forget you're carrying it? This question was the starting point for the development of the ALTERNA SLIM60 .

The challenge of achieving the ultimate thinness of 35mm

Our goal was to create an umbrella that is just 35mm thick when stored, while boasting a large 107cm diameter when opened. This is actually a very contradictory and challenging task when it comes to umbrella construction. The larger the umbrella, the thicker the ribs, naturally, and the more bulky it becomes when folded. To solve this dilemma, we completely redesigned the frame structure. Our unique "slim frame" design offsets the ribs by millimeters to prevent overlapping when folded. This reduces the "wasteful thickness" found in typical umbrellas to nearly zero. The umbrella easily fits easily into the gaps in your bag or pocket, and even after 30 years of making umbrellas, I'm proud to say that this represents the pinnacle of functional beauty.

Ultra-thin 0.05mm fabric and aircraft-quality carbon

Another key factor contributing to this slim design is the fabric and rib materials. The fabric is made of an ultra-thin, just 0.05mm thick material, woven with ultra-fine 15-denier yarn, the same material used in stockings. However, thinness alone is not enough. A special polyurethane coating on the underside achieves a water resistance rating of 2,480mm and UV protection of over 95%. Furthermore, the tips of the ribs are made of lightweight, strong carbon fiber, the same material used in aircraft. While weighing just 162g, this product is robust enough to withstand winds of up to 15m/s. Rather than simply pursuing high specs, this product is designed to be a trusted tool for long-term use.

Turning rainy days from "compromise" to "freedom"

No compromises were made even in the smallest details. User comfort was our top priority, with silicone washers sandwiched between the connectors to prevent water seepage even in heavy rain, and nail guards to protect your fingers. "Slim yet reliable." With this umbrella in hand, rainy days will change from "a day of endurance" to "a day spent in style." There's no need to compromise when choosing an umbrella. Experience the peace of mind of a long umbrella and the freedom to carry it anywhere. AMVEL will continue to strive to make your daily life more comfortable.

Q: Why is it so light despite its large size?
A. The ribs are made of lightweight, durable carbon fiber, the same material used in aircraft, and the fabric is made of extremely fine 15 denier yarn, the same as that used in stockings.This has made it possible to achieve a lightweight design, weighing approximately 162g, despite the wide diameter of 107cm.

Q: It has a slim design, but can it be used on windy days?
A. By using highly elastic carbon fiber for the frame and optimizing the size of the parts, we have created a structure that can withstand winds as strong as 15 m/s. However, because of its lightweight and slim structure, the umbrella has a tendency to turn inside out depending on how the wind catches it, so we recommend holding the tip of the umbrella facing upwind in strong winds.

Q: The fabric seems thin, but will it leak even in heavy rain?
A. The fabric is made from 15 denier ultra-fine yarn woven at high density with a special polyurethane coating on the back, ensuring a high water resistance of 2,480 mm. Furthermore, a silicone washer is sandwiched between the fabric and the frame to prevent water from entering, so you can use it safely even in heavy rain.

■ 撥水機能とメンテナンス
撥水加工は永久的なものではありません。ご使用中の摩擦、雨に含まれる不純物、皮脂等の付着により、徐々に効果が低下します。
撥水力が低下すると生地表面が濡れたように見えることがありますが、裏側に浸透していなければ雨漏りではありません。撥水力が弱まった場合は、市販の撥水スプレーでお手入れしていただくことで効果が回復します。

■ 開く前の準備
傘を開く際は、バンドを外して2〜3回軽く振り、生地と骨を十分にほぐしてから開いてください。生地や骨が絡まった状態で無理に開こうとすると、故障・骨折れの直接的な原因となります。

■ 耐風性能に関するご注意
表示の耐風数値は試験設備内での計測値であり、いかなる強風にも耐えられることを保証するものではありません。
突風や多方向からの風を受ける実際の荒天時には、破損や怪我の原因となりますので、無理なご使用はお控えください。風が強いときは、傘を風上に向けて使用してください。

■ 穴あき・劣化の防止
・圧迫禁止:カバンの中で傘が強く圧迫され続けると、フレームと生地が擦れて穴あきやコーティング剥離の原因となります。
・保管:ご使用後は軽く水気を払い、直射日光を避けて陰干ししてください。濡れたままの放置はカビや錆、生地劣化の原因となります。

■ シャフト(中棒)の仕様
折りたたみ傘のシャフトは、スムーズな伸縮操作と、風などの衝撃を逃がすために、あえて接続部分に「あそび(隙間)」を持たせる構造になっています。
新品の状態でも多少の揺れやぐらつきが感じられる場合がありますが、破損を防ぐための正常な仕様(良品)ですので、安心してお使いください。
