KIZAWA Shape-Stable Automatic Open-Close Lightweight Compact Umbrella 6 Ribs 53cm Selfold～opera～

【Shape Retention Processing】
The "Selfold" series was developed to solve the difficult problem of folding a folding umbrella.
Typical shape-retaining umbrellas are made by attaching a sheet to the umbrella fabric, which can be heavy, may peel off during use, and can put a strain on the ribs.
On the other hand, KIZAWA's shape-retaining umbrella features a special heat treatment that creates creases in the "fabric itself," allowing it to maintain its lightness while providing a semi-permanent effect.

【Automatic Open and Close】
Opening and closing is a one-touch operation with just a push of a button.
This convenient feature allows for easy opening and closing with a light press of the button, especially when carrying many items or getting in and out of a car.
It is equipped with a safety shaft (patented in Japan) that prevents unexpected popping out when returning the handle to its original position, allowing it to close more safely than typical automatic folding umbrellas.
It is safe even if you let go of it midway, and the shaft can be retracted with minimal effort, making it easy to operate for both men and women, as well as the elderly.

【Durability and Lightness with Carbon Umbrella】
The ribs are made of carbon fiber, which is also used in high-end umbrellas.
The design takes into account strength and durability.
Despite its diameter of 97cm and automatic opening and closing feature, it weighs only about 195g.
It is useful for sudden rain or unexpected sunlight.
Lightweight yet sturdy and resistant to bending, it returns to its original shape even if it bends in strong winds.
When stored, it has a slim size of 28cm, making it easy to carry in a bag and providing peace of mind for sudden rain.

【Super Water Repellent (for Rain and Sun)】
It uses 100% polyester fabric with the highest level of water repellency.
By weaving with thin, strong threads, it has been improved to be thin and lightweight while maintaining excellent water repellency.
Due to the high-density fabric, it does not absorb water droplets and repels them, providing excellent water drainage.
After use, simply shake it lightly to remove moisture, making it easy to store in a bag.
It is also effective for countering the rainy season and snow.
Additionally, due to the high-density fibers, it achieves UPF50+ even without UV processing.
※UPF50+ testing was conducted only on black fabric. The UV shielding rate varies with color shades.
※It is not a parasol (complete light blocking).

【Consideration for Convenience and Safety】
The handle comes with a longer strap, allowing it to be carried over the arm.
This makes it convenient to use both hands freely, whether carrying items or operating a smartphone.
It comes with a super absorbent cover made of microfiber on the inside.
