The New Era of Umbrellas: ROLLS ECLIPSE
ROLLS ECLIPSE, the latest series from the innovative umbrella brand ROLLS, has officially launched for pre-sale on Makuake as of July 25. Developed by LEGEND MARKETING Co., Ltd., based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, ROLLS has gained significant recognition in the crowdfunding space, raising a cumulative total of over 300 million yen. The launch of the ROLLS ECLIPSE comes with enticing early bird discounts through an exclusive coupon available on the official ROLLS Japan LINE account, offering up to 37% off for initial buyers.
Product Features of ROLLS ECLIPSE
The ROLLS ECLIPSE umbrella is designed for both sunny and rainy days, embodying the perfect blend of practicality and advanced technology. Unlike conventional umbrellas, this model features a remarkable heat suppression capability of -19 degrees Celsius, effectively minimizing the heat impact during scorching summers. It boasts an impressive 99.9% light blocking and UV protection rate, making it an ideal shield against the risks of heat stroke while under direct sunlight.
Incorporating a unique PET film treatment along with an automatic folding design, ROLLS ECLIPSE elevates usability. The difficulties associated with manual folding and the maintenance issues like mold caused by water exposure have been thoroughly addressed. Additionally, a nano-coating treatment enhances its water-repellent properties, ensuring a hassle-free experience post-use. By introducing this state-of-the-art umbrella, ROLLS aims to change the perception of umbrellas in Japan, where the usage rate of umbrellas for sun protection is currently only around 30%.

User Testimonials
The ROLLS ECLIPSE umbrella has garnered positive feedback from a diverse group of users, showcasing its versatility and comfort:
"I never thought I would use a sun umbrella, but using ROLLS ECLIPSE has been a game changer; the direct sunlight is significantly blocked, and the temperature feels much cooler! The initial resistance I had as a man using an umbrella vanished quickly. Now, it's a must-have when I go out. I love how easy it is to open and store in just three seconds. Not to mention, it helps me avoid sun spots—truly a sign that the era of men using sun umbrellas has arrived!"

I adore my light blue and pink color. It elevates my mood whenever I catch a glimpse of it. And with its complete light-blocking ability, I don’t have to worry about sunburn. It’s incredibly practical. I recommend it especially to those who find folding umbrellas inconvenient!"
"Managing a baby while pushing a stroller often leaves one hand occupied, so the ROLLS ECLIPSE’s rapid opening and easy storage have become indispensable.

The dual-color design on the underside is adorable, and even when stored in the bag, it remains charming!"
