An umbrella at 70g, yes it’s possible! WPC super air light
non-sponsoreditemEven if we move less than during the first round-the-world trip, we keep the reflexes of great travelers: to buy little, but of quality, to buy what makes us happy (Marie Kondo method) and especially to weigh everything we buy :DWhile window-shopping in Japan, I discovered an ultra-light umbrella made in Japan. It weighs only 70g ! the weight of 5 empty cans of Coke. It is marked on it “super air light: amazingly light weighted umbrella with enhanced portability will relieve your stress”.I don’t know if an ultra-light umbrella can also relieve my stress (interesting concept), but I really like its featherweight and since then, it’s always in my handbag. On a trip around the world, you should always carry an umbrella with you, especially if you are visiting Southeast Asia.
Product demonstration. Tadam !
Heheheh, you can see that it’s not super big, and is suitable for little ones like me. JB, on the other hand, would need a bigger model (the 90g one) to cover his “big surface”.Also, to minimize the weight, it creates an additional task for us: we have to unfold this thing manually :
You can see other models of the manufacturer on their official website: http: //wpc-worldparty.jp/item/umbrella/all/My 70g model is called “super air light” and costs 3000yen. But it isn’t available on the site, you can only see the Air-light umbrella 90gmodelsIf you have the opportunity to visit Japan, you should know that I found it in the Tokyu Handsstore (they are everywhere in Japan)
