Carry a large area of shade in a compact form.
TRANSFORM TYPE combines the reassuring coverage of a large umbrella with the convenience of compact portability. Designed for both sun and rain, it offers reliable protection in a wide range of weather conditions.
When carried, it has a rib length of just 45 cm, making it as compact as a small child’s umbrella. When opened, however, it expands to approximately 108 cm in diameter.
This design provides the wide coverage of a large umbrella while remaining compact and easy to carry on the go.
With a canopy approximately 108cm in diameter, it covers not only the body but also a broad area around the shoulders and bags. On sunny days, it creates a large area of shade. On rainy days, it provides broad coverage for both the body and belongings.
Full-length umbrellas can sometimes be difficult to carry on stairs, escalators, and similar places. TRANSFORM TYPE reduces its length when not in use, with portability and ease of handling in mind.
The design helps keep the umbrella from dragging on the ground and makes it easier to carry while being considerate of people nearby.
Large umbrellas tend to catch more wind and can also trap heat underneath the canopy.
TRANSFORM TYPE features a unique venting structure that allows wind and heat trapped inside the umbrella to escape more easily.
This helps reduce wind pressure on the umbrella while also improving ventilation and reducing heat buildup underneath.
High-performance fabric is used to help protect the body from intense sunlight. It is suitable for a wide range of weather conditions, from strong sunshine to sudden rain.
