Only 172g for a long umbrella, half the weight of a vinyl umbrella! The world's lightest long umbrella* to make rainy days lighter
Defying the conventional wisdom that "long umbrellas are heavy and cumbersome," the KALCT is an ultra-light long umbrella weighing only about 172g.
It achieves astonishing lightness while maintaining a standard size (ribs 58cm, 8 ribs) that can still properly protect your belongings. This is a new concept umbrella that combines the security of a long umbrella with the convenience of a folding umbrella.
*As of May 2026, based on our own research in the 58cm, 8-rib long umbrella market.
【3 Key Features】
-
Approximately half the weight of a vinyl umbrella! Astounding lightness at "approx. 172g"
The entire central pole and ribs are made of lightweight and sturdy carbon fiber. Its lightness is such that you'll forget you're even carrying it, eliminating any burden when you go out. -
67cm in length! Compact design that won't get in the way on trains
A compact design that is approximately 17cm shorter than a typical long umbrella. We eliminated the bulky J-handle and revamped it with a smart strap specification that can be hung on your wrist. -
Withstands wind speeds of 15m/s! Tough structure that resists breaking even when inverted
Maintains the reassuring "8-rib" structure. The flexible carbon ribs that bend with the wind and our patent-pending joint parts ensure a sturdy construction that is resistant to breakage even if it flips inside out in a gust of wind.
【Commitment to Functionality and Quality】
-
"Easy-Dry" water repellent coating that shakes off water with a quick flick
Water droplets slide off with just a light shake, making it easy to remove water when entering buildings or cars, and considerate of those around you. Our unique processing ensures that the high water-repellent effect lasts for a long time even with daily use. -
World-standard "OEKO-TEX® certification" safe for babies
We use a safe fabric that is gentle on both skin and the planet, having cleared stringent tests for harmful substances. It is a high-quality, PFOA-free finish that is environmentally friendly.
I used to dislike long umbrellas.
Even after dealing with umbrellas for over 30 years, I was bothered by how "heavy and cumbersome" they felt to carry after the rain stopped, so I found myself choosing only folding umbrellas.
However, long umbrellas still offer convenience when it comes to the sense of security they provide during rain, their smooth opening and closing, and the ease of quickly folding them.
"If we, who specialize in developing lightweight folding umbrellas, were to seriously create a long umbrella, how light could we make it?"
The development of KALCT began with that pure curiosity and challenge.
Based on the design philosophy of folding umbrellas, we thoroughly reviewed materials and structures from the frame to the fabric. The result is a light and compact long umbrella, among the lightest in the world, while maintaining the size unique to long umbrellas.
To address the concern that "light umbrellas might be fragile," we focused on a structure that flexibly deflects wind, ensuring robustness that can withstand everyday wind and rain.
The name KALCT embodies our intuitive desire for something "light and compact."
An umbrella is not just a tool to keep out the rain. We hope it can be something that lightens the heavy mood of a rainy day, even just a little.
"I've gotten used to the convenience of folding umbrellas, but I really wanted the security of a long umbrella."
We especially want those people to pick this up.
