We had a hard time finding a handle we were truly satisfied with, and while our search caused a delay in the launch, we believe the result is a product that will fully satisfy all of you.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n○ EVA is used for the tip\u003cbr\u003e\nLike the AU-08, it features an EVA tip.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt also retains the design that ensures no play between the shaft and handle and provides excellent control.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n○ The \"Do Not Collapse\" feature is carried over\u003cbr\u003e\nThe AU-08L, which is better suited for everyday use, naturally retains the ability to be rolled up without folding—a feature introduced with the improvements made to the AU-08.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition, to improve portability when folded, we have designed the blade to be as short as possible without compromising functionality. As a result, the tip and the grip partially overlap when the knife is stored.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n○ Easy-to-use \"Dedicated Storage Pouch\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWe also offer a special storage bag.\u003cbr\u003e\nJust like the AU-08, the handle is left exposed rather than covered. This prevents your hands from slipping in sudden rain and allows you to pull the umbrella out immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n■Technical SpecTechnical Spec(arata AU-08L \/ White)\u003cbr\u003e\n・Diameter: 96 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n・Body Weight：184g (Starage Bag : 6g)\u003cbr\u003e\n・Material：20D Polyester Ripstop 100％ Light-Shielding Coating\u003cbr\u003e\n・UPF: 50+\u003cbr\u003e\n・Frame：Carbon Fiber\u003cbr\u003e\n・Shaft：Aluminum Alloy\u003cbr\u003e\n・Storage Length：40.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that the light-blocking coating may have minor pinholes or slight peeling that occur during the manufacturing or shipping process. Please be advised that we consider products that do not cause any issues during actual use to be normal.\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that the light-blocking coating may peel off if subjected to strong force. The coating on the fabric’s creases will gradually peel off with repeated folding. Please be aware of this in advance.\u003cbr\u003e\n*Since this product is made of lightweight fabric, it may tear if subjected to excessive force. In particular, when storing the umbrella, pulling on the strap while fastening the Velcro may cause the fabric to tear. Please fold the umbrella, wrap the fabric around it completely, and then wrap the strap and fasten the Velcro.\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that the actual color of the product may vary depending on your monitor settings, room lighting, and other factors.\u003cbr\u003e\n*The average dimensions cited in this text are based on arata's research.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that since we are using manufacturer images, the actual product may differ slightly in terms of specifications (such as logo placement, color, and pattern placement).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"arata","offers":[{"title":"White \/ ONE","offer_id":52836798726429,"sku":"rc_ITNF576W19JY_UU1Z","price":7150.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/4917\/0973\/files\/SbxhZBNSl2MrSFQQvs7bv4u0TlCV5ddgBxAbdK04.jpg?v=1788155156","url":"https:\/\/shop.moderateweb.com\/en\/products\/rc_itnf576w19jy_uu1z","provider":"moderate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
