WHO IS THIS FOR?
Recommended for anyone who spends time outdoors in sunny weather and wants reliable UV and heat protection without carrying a full-size umbrella. Ideal if you are concerned about sun damage to skin, or simply want to stay cooler on hot summer days without bulky gear. Also a great fit for men who don't normally use sun umbrellas — the unisex design and neutral colours (Natural, Black, Light Blue) make it discreet and practical.
HOW TO USE
- Remove the umbrella from its carry pouch.
- Press the auto-open button to open the canopy.
- Use in sunlight or rain as needed.
- After use in rain, allow the umbrella to dry fully in the open position before folding to prevent mildew.
- Fold and return to pouch for storage.
Frequency: As needed — suitable for daily use in sun or rain.
Tip: If minor surface scuffs appear on the fabric from friction with the ribs, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth — they come off easily.
FULL INGREDIENTS / SUPPLEMENT FACTS
Fabric composition: 100% polyester
Special functional coatings applied to fabric:
- UV Cut approx. 99% / UPF50+ — JIS L 1925:2019
- Light blocking approx. 99.9% — JIS L 1055:2009 Method A
- 遮熱 heat-shield treatment (reduces solar heat absorption)
CAUTIONS
- Do not leave the umbrella inside a hot closed vehicle — extreme heat may deform the frame or affect the coating.
- Store away from direct sunlight and high humidity when not in use.
- Always allow the umbrella to dry fully before folding to prevent mould and odour.
- Do not use as a walking cane — the frame is not designed for vertical load.
- Minor fabric unevenness or light scuffing from rib friction is normal for this material; wipe gently with a soft cloth to reduce.
- Keep away from small children during opening and closing.
- The UV-protective coating may gradually diminish with heavy use and washing over time.

FAQ
Q: Is this umbrella suitable for use in heavy rain, or only as a sun parasol? A: It is rated 晴雨兼用 — designed for both sun and rain. The 100% polyester fabric with water-repellent treatment handles regular rain well. It is not marketed as a storm umbrella, so we recommend avoiding use in very strong winds.
Q: What does the 遮熱 (heat shield) function actually do? How is it different from a regular umbrella? A: A standard umbrella blocks rain but its canopy absorbs solar heat and radiates it downward. UNIQLO's 遮熱 coating reflects a portion of that infrared radiation, so the underside of the canopy stays cooler. Combined with the ~99.9% light-blocking fabric, it makes a meaningful difference on a hot summer day.
Q: Is this umbrella unisex? It looks like a women's product in the photos. A: It is officially listed as 男女兼用 (unisex). Available in neutral colours — Natural (30), Black (09) and Light Blue (60). The compact size and slim handle work equally well for men and women.
Q: Is this the authentic Japanese UNIQLO product, or a copy sold under the same name? A: This is the genuine article purchased directly through UNIQLO Japan. Tsujimoto Market sources only original Japanese products — no counterfeits, no grey-market goods.
Q: How long does delivery take and will I have to pay customs duties? A: Orders ship from Japan within 2–6 business days. Total delivery time depends on your country. Customs thresholds vary by destination — some countries have duty-free limits for low-value parcels. We recommend checking your local customs rules before ordering.
Q: Can I wash the umbrella to clean it? A: UNIQLO does not specify a machine-wash method for this model. Spot-clean the fabric with a soft damp cloth as needed. Do not machine-wash or wring, as this can damage the UV-protective coating and the frame.
