Introducing the Kowaza Lightweight Carbon Umbrella

On January 15, Moonbat Co., Ltd., based in Kyoto, Japan, is set to launch its latest innovation in the Kowaza umbrella series— the Kowaza Lightweight Carbon. This new umbrella combines cutting-edge technology with user-centric design, focusing on ease of use to ensure that folding it is a breeze. The brand's earlier success with the Urawaza series laid the groundwork for this advanced folding umbrella aimed at everyday practicality.

The Evolution of Kowaza

The Kowaza series was born out of a desire to eliminate the hassle associated with folding umbrellas, a common annoyance among users. Since its debut in March 2020, Kowaza has gained a dedicated following due to its intuitive design and user-friendly features, with total sales surpassing 260,000 units. The new Kowaza Lightweight Carbon model takes this convenience a step further, achieving a sleeker and lighter profile without sacrificing functionality.

Key Features of Kowaza Lightweight Carbon

The Kowaza Lightweight Carbon is not just another umbrella; it has been meticulously designed with various user-friendly characteristics:

Ultra-Light Design

Thanks to optimized guiding sheet structures, the new model boasts a remarkably light weight of just 173g (approximately), equivalent to that of a non-coated umbrella of the same size. This lightweight configuration offers fantastic portability, making it perfect for daily use.

Revolutionary Folding Guide

Continuing the legacy of the Urawaza series’ folding guide technology, the Kowaza Lightweight allows users to fold the umbrella in as little as three seconds. A special PET resin sheet on the interior assists users in folding without creating unsightly creases, ensuring the process is quick and hassle-free.

Water-Resistant Technology

Using the Teflon water-repellent technology from Chemours, this umbrella achieves a waterproof rating of over 10,000mm, rated at waterproof Level 5. Users can rest easy knowing they are protected from rain.

100% UV Protection

The durable fabric of the Kowaza Lightweight Carbon provides essential UV protection, blocking harmful rays with an impressive 100% UV cut & UV protection rating UPF50+. No matter the weather, your skin stays safe.

Heat-Reflecting Benefits

Tests have confirmed that the Kowaza Lightweight Carbon effectively reduces the temperature by up to 14.1°C compared to outside temperatures, a testament to its effective heat-reflecting properties.
