Japan Amvel FLATLITE Micro Flat and Lightweight Folding Umbrella｜175g · Only 14.8cm when stored · 3cm Micro Thickness · Six-Bone Carbon Fiber Frame · Easy-Dry Nano Water Repellent · Wind Resistant 15m/s｜Ultra-Compact Flat Folding Umbrella

The FLATLITE Micro is a flat, lightweight folding umbrella launched by Amvel, featuring an ultra-compact storage size and micro-thinness. When folded, it is only 14.8cm long and 3cm thick, making it easier to fit into handbags or even small clutches than ordinary folding umbrellas. The umbrella canopy features an Easy-Dry water-repellent design, so even if shopping malls no longer provide umbrella bags in the future, you won't have to worry about the awkward situation of dripping water wetting your bag.

✦ Why is this umbrella worth noting?

Many people don't carry umbrellas often, not because they're not afraid of getting wet, but because the umbrella body takes up too much space and gets in the way when placed in a bag. The core design of the FLATLITE Micro is to compress its storage size to be almost the size of a phone, making "always carrying an umbrella" a burden-free task, especially suitable for users accustomed to using small handbags or sling bags.

✦ Only 14.8cm when folded, fits into small handbags

When folded, the FLATLITE Micro is only 14.8cm long, shorter than a long wallet. Even small bags, sling bags, or clutches with limited capacity can easily accommodate it. For users who don't want to switch to a larger handbag just to carry an umbrella, this is the most direct solution.

✦ 3cm micro thickness, stress-free close-fitting storage

With a thickness of only 3cm, the umbrella takes up almost no extra space in the bag, unlike ordinary folding umbrellas which can distort the bag's shape or feel bulky. It can be easily placed in backpack compartments, handbag inner pockets, or even jacket pockets.

✦ Six-rib carbon fiber frame, light and sturdy

The FLATLITE Micro uses a three-fold six-rib carbon fiber frame, which maintains a certain structural strength while remaining lightweight and compact. It has been tested to withstand wind speeds of approximately 15m/s, making it reliable for daily urban commuting and general windy and rainy conditions.

✦ Easy-Dry nano-waterproof, no more embarrassing drips when closing

The umbrella canopy features Amvel's exclusive Easy-Dry water-repellent design, which has powerful water repellency. With just a few gentle shakes, rainwater will naturally slide off. Compared to general water-repellent technologies, the Easy-Dry effect is more durable and long-lasting. Even if malls or buildings don't provide umbrella bags, you won't have to worry about water dripping onto the floor or your bag after closing the umbrella.

✦ Product Specifications

✦ Suitable for these people

• Users who habitually use small handbags or sling bags and want the umbrella to take up as little space as possible.
• People who want to get into the habit of carrying an umbrella daily but find ordinary folding umbrellas too bulky.
• Those who frequently enter and exit places like shopping malls or offices where umbrella bags may not be provided.
• Daily users who prioritize storage volume over automatic opening/closing functions.

✦ Usage Recommendations

• After closing the umbrella, it is recommended to gently shake it a few times to remove most water droplets before storing.
• It is still recommended to avoid using it during typhoons or extremely strong winds.
• If the umbrella surface gets dirty after long-term use, it can be gently wiped clean with a soft cloth.
• It is recommended to store it in a dry place to extend the lifespan of the water-repellent coating.

✦ Q&A

Q: What is the difference between FLATLITE Micro and FLATLITE Standard? Which one should I choose?

A: Both are part of Amvel's flat series, but they differ in volume positioning: the FLATLITE Standard (105g, approx. 24cm long when folded) is designed for "lightness priority," being lighter but longer when folded; the FLATLITE Micro (this model) (175g, only 14.8cm when folded) focuses on "volume priority," with a significantly shorter folded length, making it easier to fit into smaller handbags, though it is slightly heavier. If your main concern is "as light as possible," choose the Standard; if you often complain that "the umbrella is too long to fit into a small bag," the Micro will be more suitable for you.

Q: Will the micro design make it more prone to breaking?

A: No. Although the FLATLITE Micro has a small folded volume, it uses a six-rib carbon fiber frame structure and has passed a 15m/s wind resistance test. Its strength is similar to other products in the same series. The reduction in volume is mainly achieved by optimizing the number of folds, not by sacrificing structural strength.
