Stay cool and protected under the summer sun with this ultra-lightweight gray folding parasol from the Sun Defence line. Weighing approximately 112g, about the same as a single lemon, it uses carbon fiber ribs to achieve a light frame that easily slips into a jacket pocket. Japanese parasols are popular around the world for their impressive heat-blocking technology, and this simple gray version combines a clean unisex style with serious daily protection.
The fabric offers a UPF50+ rating along with 100 percent UV and light blockage, creating a shade effect that can reduce heat under the canopy by over 20 degrees Celsius. It is also waterproof and water-repellent, making it ideal for both sunny days and sudden rain showers.
When opened, it provides comfortable coverage with an 81cm diameter and a 50cm rib length, yet folds down to a compact 21cm for easy storage. The matching gray carrying bag has a deep slit for smooth, snag-free packing, plus a strap loop that lets you thread the parasol's own strap through the band, so the bag stays with you and never gets left behind.
