Japan Amvel FLATLITE Travel Flat Folding Umbrella | 185g · Stores to only 13cm, one of the world's smallest · 7-section shaft · 15-denier fabric · Easy-Dry nano-waterproof · Wind resistance 15m/s | Ultra-Compact Travel Folding Umbrella

The FLATLITE Travel is a flat, foldable travel umbrella launched by Amvel, featuring the world's smallest storage length of 13cm, making it easier to fit into handbags or travel bags than regular folding umbrellas. The umbrella fabric uses an Easy-Dry water-repellent design with strong, durable water-shedding capabilities. Even if shopping malls no longer provide umbrella bags, you won't experience the awkward situation of water dripping and wetting your bag after closing the umbrella.

✦ Why is this umbrella worth noting?

When traveling or commuting daily, luggage and handbag space are often limited. Regular folding umbrellas, often over 20cm in storage length, always take up a lot of space. The FLATLITE Travel uses a 7-section telescopic shaft design to drastically reduce the storage length to just 13cm, making it the most compact model in its series. It is especially suitable for users who frequently travel for business, pleasure, or have limited space in their carry-on bags.

✦ Only 13cm when stored, the world's smallest size

When stored, the FLATLITE Travel is only 13cm long, with a diameter of about 7cm, making it one of the world's smallest folding umbrellas. Whether you put it in a travel bag, cosmetic bag, or small handbag, it can be easily accommodated, so you don't have to sacrifice space for other personal items just to carry an umbrella.

✦ 3cm ultra-thin, fits in small bags too

With a thickness of only about 3cm, the umbrella doesn't feel bulky or protrude even when stored in shallow small bags or pocket compartments. It is a travel companion designed for ultimate portability.

✦ 7-section shaft design, small but tough

To achieve an ultra-short storage length of 13cm, the FLATLITE Travel uses a 7-section telescopic shaft structure. The umbrella fabric is woven from 15-denier ultra-fine yarn, which is light and thin yet resilient, easy to fold and store, while maintaining durability.

✦ Sturdy and durable frame, withstands 15m/s strong winds

Despite its extremely compact size, the FLATLITE Travel is equipped with a sturdy and durable frame. Tested to withstand wind speeds of up to 15m/s, it still provides stable protection during sudden gusts and showers during daily commutes or travel.

✦ Easy-Dry nano-waterproofing, long-lasting and drip-free

The umbrella surface uses Amvel's exclusive Easy-Dry water-repellent technology, combined with nano-waterproof treatment, allowing rainwater to condense into droplets on the umbrella surface and slide off naturally. A gentle shake is enough to remove most of the water. Compared to general water-repellent technologies, the Easy-Dry effect is more long-lasting and durable. Even if shopping malls or buildings don't provide umbrella bags, you don't have to worry about the awkward situation of water dripping after closing the umbrella.

✦ Product Specifications

✦ Suitable for these people

• It is still recommended to avoid using it during typhoons or extremely strong winds.

✦ Q&A

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

A: Both are the most compact models in Amvel's flat series, but they have slightly different positioning: The FLATLITE Micro (175g, approx. 14.8cm when stored) takes the "six-rib carbon fiber" approach, focusing more on structural strength and canopy coverage; the FLATLITE Travel (this model) (185g, only 13cm when stored) further compresses the storage length to a world-class smallest level through a 7-section shaft design, making it more suitable for travelers with extreme demands for storage size. If your top priority is "the shorter the umbrella, the better," choose Travel; if you value overall structure and the number of ribs, Micro will be more suitable for you.

Q: Since it's so short when stored, will the open canopy be too small?

A: It won't shrink too noticeably. The FLATLITE Travel measures approximately 91 x 50cm when open, similar to other flat models in the same series. The reduction in storage length primarily comes from the increased number of shaft sections, not by sacrificing canopy coverage.
