Men's parasols are now business equipment used to beat the heat.
A new proposal for businessmen braving the heatwave
Recently, we have seen a sharp increase in inquiries from men asking, "Does this umbrella protect me from the heat?" As Japan's summers get more severe every year, heat protection has become a pressing need for men as well. Parasols were once used to protect against sunburn, but for today's businessmen surviving scorching hot days, they are an important piece of equipment to protect their physical strength. However, highly functional light-blocking and heat-blocking fabrics are thicker than umbrellas, and adding an automatic opening and closing function makes them very bulky, which is a major issue. You don't want to take up space in your bag, but you also want to protect yourself from the heat. We began development with the desire to solve this dilemma.
A flat design with a thickness of 25mm that eliminates bulkiness
While Amvel products are generally available in a wide range of colors for both men and women, this product is designed with men's needs in mind. What men want is more than just sun protection; they want the practical benefit of being able to physically beat the heat. The answer we arrived at to overcome the inherent thickness of heat-shielding fabric was to design the structure itself to be flat. By adopting a unique flat frame, we were able to reduce the thickness when stored to just 25mm. This allows for smart portability, fitting easily into the slim gaps or side pockets of business bags.
Large 108cm size and top-notch heat-blocking performance
The fabric is made with HEATBLOCK , a next-generation light-blocking fabric that blocks not only UV rays but also over 99.9% of near-infrared rays, which can cause burning sensations on the skin. Its heat-blocking performance, which blocks over 80% of solar heat, makes it truly portable shade. While maintaining a large diameter of 108cm for an automatic umbrella, it weighs just 260g. Its generous use of aircraft-grade carbon fiber makes it strong enough to withstand winds of up to 15m/s. It also boasts a water resistance rating of over 13,000mm, making it a reliable all-weather umbrella that can withstand heavy rain.
Don't "endure" the heat, live a smart lifestyle
Thanks to this "condensed functionality" and innovative design, the VERYKAL LARGE Flat was awarded "Makuake Of The Year 2024." Make your business trips and daily commutes more comfortable and free. With this umbrella in your bag, no matter how strong the sunlight or sudden downpour, you won't be stopped.
