Lightweight and automatic opening and closing

The U.220 DOOBLE is a lightweight, automatic folding umbrella weighing only 250g. It is part of the Knirps U series, which focuses on achieving both lightness and compactness. Additionally, the umbrella fabric is coated with UV protection, making it suitable for use not only on rainy days but also as a sunshade on sunny days, offering versatility for all weather conditions.

The name "DOOBLE," which means doodle, perfectly captures its casual and stylish design, reminiscent of a quick line drawn in the corner of a notebook. With its soft, nuanced colors, this folding umbrella makes rainy days enjoyable.

Compactness for Your Outings

The U.220 DOOBLE is a lightweight, compact, and durable folding umbrella. With a simple press of the red button on the handle, it opens automatically, allowing you to open it with one hand without getting wet, whether you're returning from shopping or out with small children. You'll find many moments in your daily life where this convenience truly shines.

When closing, simply press the button to fold the umbrella, and then retract the shaft until you hear a click. It features a safety structure called the "Safety System," which prevents the shaft from unexpectedly popping out, even if you stop pushing it back midway. Moreover, the button will not operate unless the shaft is securely locked. This new functionality adds an extra layer of safety to the folding umbrella.

With a diameter of approximately 97cm, it is suitable for both men and women. Its slim profile, measuring about 5cm in diameter, fits neatly into the side pockets of backpacks or small bags. The simple and user-friendly design has even won a reddot design award, making it a perfect gift for Father's Day, for your father-in-law, colleagues, or supervisors, as well as for those with small children, conveying your thoughtful sentiments. The umbrella fabric is treated for heat insulation, light blocking, and UV protection, making it a versatile choice for sunny days as well.

When It Comes to Folding Umbrellas, Think Knirps

Just as people refer to staplers as "Hotchkiss" or adhesive tape as "Sellotape," in Europe, "Knirps" is synonymous with "folding umbrella." The world's first folding umbrella was created in 1928 by Hans Haupt in Germany, who designed it to be compact enough to fit in a pocket. Knirps was the first to commercialize this innovative product. Since then, it has been loved by many and continues to be a leading manufacturer of folding umbrellas.

In Germany, the term "Knirps" is so ingrained in everyday life that when you look up "folding umbrella" in the dictionary, it is listed as "Knirps." The folding umbrellas produced by Knirps are renowned for their high quality, captivating many users, and they remain a top manufacturer in the folding umbrella market even after many years. Along with their exceptional functionality, they also receive high praise for their design; the "X1" series won the ISDA Award in 2004 and the Good Design Award in 2005. Their commitment to not only practicality but also aesthetic beauty is the secret to their long-lasting popularity worldwide.
