Arata ASU-08 / Silver
■Manufacturer Description Excerpt
8-rib design, 86.5cm diameter, full carbon frame, UPF 50+
Challenging the limits of lightweight design while maintaining the necessary strength along the ridgeline
Released in 2024, arata's first trekking umbrella, the AU-08, features an 8-rib frame despite its foldable design, offering excellent sun protection while achieving the lightest weight for a trekking umbrella. It has become a product highly versatile for both mountaineering and city use.
On the other hand, structures can always be made lighter by eliminating the folding mechanism itself. This straight type "ASU-08" was developed by removing the folding mechanism from the AU-08 to meet the demand for extreme weight reduction.
The ASU-08 eliminates the folding mechanism and generously employs dry carbon fiber in the shaft. Furthermore, by completely re-evaluating the frame's strength from the ground up, the ASU-08/Silver achieves UPF 50+ at just 125g, while the fully light-blocking ASU-08/White weighs 147g. As 8-rib umbrellas, they achieve unmatched lightness with no comparable products in their class.
■Technical Note
・Size 50 is designed 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.
・Carbon shaft and carbon frame for ultimate weight reduction
・The newly developed "Silver" is an ultra-lightweight model achieving exceptional lightness.
・Continuation of the handle shape designed for "optimal grip"
■Diameter: 86.5 cm
■Weight: 125g
■Material: 30D polyester pongee with silver coating
■Frame: Carbon Fiber
■Shaft: Carbon Fiber
■When stored: 61 cm
※ Please note that upon arrival, the sun-blocking coating may exhibit pinhole-sized peeling. As this will not lead to leaks or sun damage, we do not consider it a defective product.
※ 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. Please be aware of this beforehand.
※ 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.
