Umbracella Carbon Fiber Ultra Light Umbrella Hands On!
by mitch002
Talking about rainy season or summer, everyone likes to carry an umbrella in case of the roaring heat of the sun or the sudden downpour of the rain. But every umbrella are not created equally, there are big and small, heavy and heavier. Arent there any lightweight umbrellas out there that I can freely throw inside my messenger bag so that I can whip it out in case of sudden rain or sudden heat?
Lightweight, yes Xiaomi heard you! Here comes probably one of the worlds lightest umbrella buddy you can carry just anytime of the day inside your bag, backpack or even cargo pants as well. Introducing the Mi Umbracella Carbon Fiber Ultra Light Umbrella!
My gosh it weigh only 85 grams?!! You gotta be kidding me! This is made of pure carbon fiber material which made it so light on the pocket, probably many have attempted to make one but most likely they havent achieved this much lightweight.
One downside of this umbrella is that you cannot use it during harsh stormy weather, otherwise your umbrella will turn into a Kazbrella (the upside down umbrella in kickstarter).
Whats in the Box:
Actual Item:
The umbrella itself shaped like a pentagon, its pretty easy to handle it and we tried to put inside our backpack and it pretty much almost did not add any weight into it. Its a little bit hard to open the umbrella as you need to snap the linkage one by one for it to be straight. Took me a while to figure it as most umbrella are automatic straight when you opened it.
Overall I loved this umbrella and for a travelling guy like me, it pays to be always be prepared.
You can now purchase this from Xiaomi Webstore in China for 109 RMB.
