Introducing the Ultimate in Umbrella Technology

As extreme weather becomes increasingly common, having a reliable umbrella is essential. Moonbat Co., Ltd., based in Kyoto, Japan, has responded to this need by launching the new FLO(A)TUS ultra-waterproof umbrella series, which will be available starting May 30, 2025. With a record-breaking sales of 140,000 units in its previous series, the FLO(A)TUS has reached new heights in innovation and performance.

Superior Waterproofing and Wind Resistance

Designed to withstand heavy downpours, the FLO(A)TUS umbrella series has been rigorously tested to endure rainfall of up to 100mm per hour—five times the typical benchmark set by JIS testing regulations. Not only that, but the umbrella also boasts a robust frame that withstands wind speeds of up to 30m/s, ensuring durability against the elements. This strong construction makes it ideal for use during the intense summer storm season, typically observed from July to September.

However, while the FLO(A)TUS is engineered for durability, Moonbat emphasizes the importance of safety during extreme weather. Users are still advised to seek shelter and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during severe storms, regardless of the umbrella’s capabilities.

Key Features of the FLO(A)TUS Series

The latest offering from Moonbat showcases three core features:

1. Ultra-Waterproofing
Thanks to a unique micro-nano structure on its fabric surface, the FLO(A)TUS achieves a top-tier water repellency rating of 5 and passes the 100mm/h rainfall test over 20 minutes, ensuring that users stay dry under the fiercest rain.

2. Wind Resistance
All models in the series have successfully completed wind resistance testing at speeds of up to 30m/s. This means even during stormy weather, users can feel confident in the umbrella’s capabilities.

3. Complete UV Protection
Featuring a 100% UV cut and shading rate, the FLO(A)TUS fabric conforms to the highest standards of UPF50+. These features make it not just a reliable rain shield, but also an essential UV protective item for sun-drenched days.
