Product Development Story | KALCT HEATBLOCK
"Long umbrellas are heavy and long" is a thing of the past. This short umbrella weighing just 193g will change your summer travel experience.
A new option to make parasols more "free"
When going out in the summer, opening and closing a folding umbrella every time can be a hassle. However, traditional long umbrellas are heavy and difficult to carry around.
To resolve this dilemma, we have poured the technology we have cultivated as a manufacturer specializing in folding umbrellas into our long umbrellas. Our goal was to create a lightweight long umbrella that you can easily pick up even when going out for a stroll.
The challenge of unique "wind-resistant structure" and "short length"
The biggest challenge was to pursue "lightness" and "compactness" while maintaining the convenience of a long umbrella.
The overall length is designed to be "short" for easy handling, and we sought durability that would not be affected by strong summer winds. For this reason, we adopted our own unique "integrated resin joint" which has been registered as a design.
We arrived at a structure that flexibly deflects the impact of wind, achieving a high level of both lightness and strength.
"193g of shade" made from aircraft materials
The frame is made of a generous amount of aircraft-grade carbon fiber, making the lightest color incredibly light, weighing just 193g.
The fabric not only blocks out 100% of light, but also uses " HEATBLOCK " to cut near-infrared rays that cause skin temperature to rise.
With a heat-blocking effect rate of up to 92.0%, it provides coolness like shade even in the scorching sun. It is also water-resistant to over 13,000mm, making it a truly all-weather material.
Under the summer sky, feel lighter and smarter
KALCT HEATBLOCK is your partner to make your summer more comfortable. Simply unfold it to block the sun and carry it around easily.
This umbrella combines the portability of a folding umbrella with the security of a long umbrella. As a developer, we want to provide you with the freedom to not be at the mercy of scorching heat or fickle rain.
