Product Description
ARATA AU-08
■Manufacturer Description Quote
Optimal balance of light blocking, weight, and strength
Folding All-Weather Umbrella for Hiking AU-08
The following improvements and changes were implemented in the December 2025 update:
・The handle section of the White model has been redesigned to eliminate all play, improving operability (same as the Silver model).
・Adjust the length of the storage bag so that the handle is exposed
・Increased the belt wrap diameter to make it easier to wrap the belt
・Improved stitching on the White belt section to reduce load concentration at attachment points (same as Silver)
The arata AU-08 was developed specifically for use in Japan's mountaineering scene.
The most significant difference between the long trails of Europe and America, which foster a rich outdoor culture, and Japan's mountain climbing scene is the "terrain."
Japan's mountaineering scene thrives in mountainous regions where updrafts are easily generated.
Furthermore, many scenes extend beyond the treeline where there is less shelter, resulting in frequent encounters with strong winds.
The optimal solution for tools should differ depending on the environment—this concept gave birth to arata's trekking umbrella, the "AU-08 / White • Silver."
■Close-up detail
・The diameter was set at 88 cm for ease of use and reduced fatigue.
・While designed for optimal use as a sun umbrella, it can of course also be used as a rain umbrella.
・Features a two-stage folding design prioritizing strength and lightweight construction.
・Both White and Silver feature EVA on the toe cap.
・Designed with wind resistance and ease of use in mind, featuring eight ribs.
・The frame is made of carbon fiber, and the shaft is made of aluminum—both high-quality, premium materials used without compromise.
・The grip prioritizes ease of handling so anyone can confidently control the umbrella even in windy conditions.
・By redesigning the belt shape, the umbrella can now be closed even when extended.
・It can be finished like a straight type despite being foldable.
・We redesigned the storage bag for improved usability.
■Technical Spec
・version: 2.0
・Diameter: 88 cm
・Body Weight：170g (Starage Bag : 8g)
・Material：20D Polyester Ripstop 100％ Light-Shielding Coating
・Frame：Carbon Fiber
・Shaft：Aluminum Alloy

※Please note that the light-blocking coating may peel off when subjected to strong force. Particular care should be taken as creases in the fabric are prone to peeling.
※Please note that during manufacturing and logistics, the light-blocking coating may occasionally exhibit pinhole-like minor holes or peeling. Items that do not cause issues during actual use are treated as normal products.
※Please note that the light-blocking coating may peel off when subjected to strong force. The coating will gradually peel away along the fabric's creases with repeated folding.
※This product uses lightweight fabric, which may tear if subjected to strong force. Particularly when storing the umbrella, pulling the belt while fastening the Velcro may cause the fabric to tear. Please fold the umbrella, finish rolling the fabric section, then wrap the belt and fasten the Velcro.
Please note that the actual color of the product may differ from what is displayed due to monitor settings, room lighting, and other factors.
※The average dimensions stated in the text are based on arata's research.
※Please note that manufacturer images are used, so specifications (such as logo placement, color, and pattern positioning) may differ slightly from the actual product.
