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.
