Even the hassle of repairs is no longer necessary. Ultimate strength achieved by "deflecting" the wind.
I swore to myself when I saw my umbrella being blown around by the wind from the building.
When I started living in Tokyo for work, I was surprised by the strength of the wind blowing through the buildings. I have seen many scenes where umbrellas are blown around by a sudden gust of wind and broken mercilessly the moment they are turned inside out.... In this day and age where disposable umbrellas are everywhere, we don't want our customers who choose Amvel to be disappointed when their umbrella breaks. In the first place, sending it in for repair is probably a huge hassle. So why not create an umbrella that doesn't break even when turned inside out and doesn't need to be repaired? This single-minded desire was the starting point for our development.
"Wind in the Willows" - A change in mindset that cannot be overcome by force
The structural weakness of a folding umbrella is in the joints where the moving parts are concentrated. At the beginning of development, we tried to increase the strength by using thicker materials, but this would have taken away the "lightness" that is the identity of Amvel. After a year and a half of trial and error, we arrived at the design concept of "wind in the willows." Rather than confronting strong winds, it deflects the load by flexing flexibly. By adopting polycarbonate material with excellent elasticity, the stalled development problem was quickly resolved.
Reliable enough to withstand wind speeds of 30m/s and 100 turns inside out
In third-party testing, the umbrella withstood winds as strong as 30 m/s and even passed the rigorous load test of being turned inside out 100 times. With eight ribs and a 60 cm main rib, it's a very reliable size for a folding umbrella, yet weighs just 289 g. Furthermore, in light of the recent heatwaves, it comes standard with a fabric that blocks 100% of light and is suitable for both sunny and rainy days. This is no longer just an umbrella; it's "all-weather gear" that will protect you from any weather.
"What if it breaks?" turns into confidence "This will be fine"
What I hope for with this TOUGHNESS umbrella is that it will allow me to go out with peace of mind, even in bad weather, knowing that "I'll be fine because I have this umbrella." Whether it's a windy day, a heavy rain, or a relentless sun, don't hesitate to take this umbrella with you. In the unlikely event of a problem, we offer a one-year warranty. As a developer, it is my sincere hope that your daily life will be freed from anxiety and become more free and comfortable.
