Don't let preparation become stressful. Weighing just 67g, our passion has pushed the limits of lightness.
Is sudden rain holding you back?
"It was sunny in the morning, but it suddenly started raining. The heavy umbrella I carried with me just in case took up space in my bag all day and weighed heavily on my shoulders." Everyone has had that experience. In modern society, being prepared for sudden rain is essential, but it would be counterproductive if that preparation itself became a burden. If you want a lightweight umbrella, it will be weak against the wind, and if you want durability, it will be heavy and bulky. We have continued developing our umbrellas with the sole desire to solve this dilemma of choosing an umbrella and make users' daily lives lighter.
Meeting user expectations with sincerity and pushing the limits
When we released our previous product, "pentagon72," we received a great response, along with passionate voices of expectation, saying, "With Amvel, we can go even further." My passion to faithfully respond to that feeling motivated me. The first thing we did was to push the limits of fabric even further. We even redefined the previous ultra-thin standard of 15 denier, adopting a feather-light, more delicate 10 denier ultra-fine thread. Maintaining this thinness while also achieving high water repellency and strength was an extremely difficult task, but we thoroughly reviewed everything from the choice of materials to pursue the ideal lightness.
Lightweight and strong, with thorough functional beauty
Eliminating the concern that "light umbrellas break easily in the wind" is a testament to our sincerity in manufacturing. Therefore, we changed the shape of the shaft (center rod) from the standard round to an octagonal shape that is more resistant to external impacts, dramatically increasing structural strength. Furthermore, we used carbon fiber, the same material used in aircraft, for the frame. As a result, we achieved a weight of just 67g, lighter than a single rice ball sold at convenience stores, yet strong enough to withstand winds of 15m/s. This challenge has attracted attention from media outlets such as Nikkei Business and Asahi Shimbun, and the umbrella has now been selected for the Matsuya Ginza Design Collection.
Living every day without thinking about your umbrella creates a new freedom
At just 67g, you'll forget you have it. Just keep it in the corner of your bag and you won't have to worry about the weather while carrying a heavy load. We've pursued user convenience down to the smallest details, including a "two-fold mode" for smooth travel and a dedicated bag. What we want to provide is not just an umbrella as a tool, but "free and comfortable everyday life" free from the worry of rain. Why not use the revolutionary lightness of the pentagon67 as your ally and transform your lifestyle into a more lightweight one?
