"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 surprisingly time-consuming. However, traditional long umbrellas are heavy and difficult to carry around... To solve this dilemma, we 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 quick stroll around the neighborhood.
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. We designed it to be "short" in length for easy handling, and sought durability that would not be affected by strong summer winds. To achieve this, 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 generously made with aircraft-grade carbon fiber, resulting in an astonishing lightness of approximately 193g in the lightest color. The fabric features "HEATBLOCK," which not only provides 100% light blocking but also blocks near-infrared rays that can cause skin temperature to rise. Its heat blocking rate reaches up to 92.0%, providing coolness like shade even in the blazing sun. It's truly all-weather, with a water resistance rating of over 13,000mm, making it suitable for rain.
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 lightly. It combines the portability of a folding umbrella with the security of a long umbrella. We want to give you the freedom to not be at the mercy of scorching heat or fickle rain. That is our wish as a developer.
