If you're looking for an umbrella that's "powerful enough to combat the scorching heat, yet small enough to fit in your palm," then the ZA020 from the Wpc. IZA series is your ultimate gear. It completely shatters the stereotype that "parasols are too delicate," becoming Japan's most talked-about heat-relief essential in recent years, thanks to its hardcore technological data and minimalist industrial aesthetic.
Palm-Sized Compact Design: Square Aesthetic Crafted for Backpack Side Pockets
The ZA020 strives for the ultimate portable experience. Through its precise five-fold structure and six sturdy ribs, it condenses powerful protection into an ultra-small space.
-
Lightweight and Portable: When folded, it's only about 17 cm long and 6.5 cm wide, roughly the height of a bookmark, fitting effortlessly in your palm.
-
Space-Saving: The specially adopted square design allows it to slide flat into the side pocket or compartment of a backpack like a notebook, without distorting the bag's shape, maintaining a sleek overall look.
Hardcore Cooling of 14.7°C: Isolated from Heatwaves Under Scorching Sun
Summer heatwaves are the enemy of stamina. IZA's insulating fabric technology instantly isolates you from the heatwave, offering an immediate cooling sensation.
-
Scientifically Proven Cooling: Thermal imaging tests confirm that after 20 minutes of use under 800 W/m² of light, the surface temperature of the head can be reduced by up to 14.7°C.
-
Reduced Sweating Burden: Experimental data shows that when walking with an IZA parasol, sweat volume can be reduced from 14.1g to 10.8g. This means even in hot weather, you can avoid the embarrassment of excessive sweating and stay fresh and composed.
-
100% Comprehensive Protection: All colorways offer 100% shading and 100% UV protection (UPF 50+). The black coating on the inside further absorbs 90% of glare reflected from the ground, protecting your skin from harmful light.
Up to Level 5 Powerful Water Repellency: Unflinching Against Sudden Downpours
IZA is not only a sun protection expert but also an extremely reliable umbrella.
-
Highest-Grade Water Repellency: The fabric surface treatment achieves the JIS highest Level 5 water repellency rating. Rainwater hitting the canopy immediately forms round droplets and slides off, reducing the hassle of dealing with a wet umbrella after rain.
-
Resistant to Heavy Rain: With a waterproof performance of up to 10,000mmH2O, it provides a solid barrier even against sudden afternoon downpours.
