【Heavy Rain & Typhoon】Tough umbrellas with 20 ribs and inverted umbrellas too! 12 “heavy rain countermeasure” items available at Hands.

Recently, damage caused by typhoons and sudden heavy rains has been increasing. "If you're feeling uneasy with the umbrella you currently have..." it might be a good idea to choose a new one. Let's check out some autumn heavy rain protection items available at Hands.

Confront strong winds with 20 ribs

Product name / Waterfront Toyama Thunder 20 ribs
Price / 6490 yen

First to check is the Waterfront "Toyama Thunder 20 ribs." The name itself gives a sense of reliability, and true to its name, it features 20 ribs. The "petal structure," where one support rib supports two main ribs, not only increases the number of ribs but also enhances wind resistance by innovating the way they are supported.

The fabric is treated with a top-level waterproof rating of 5 grade. The ease of opening with one touch is also an attractive feature.

On rainy days, the problem isn't just the water falling from above. When the wind tries to take your umbrella away, one hand is completely focused on the umbrella. If you're carrying a bag or want to check your smartphone while moving, it becomes quite overwhelming. Choosing an umbrella considering strong winds seems to be the way forward for future standards.

I also want to reduce getting wet after closing it

Product name / Denkyosha Reverse Closing Umbrella, Sun and Rain 60 cm
Price / 3058 yen

If you often take public transport or get into cars, the "reverse closing umbrella" is perfect. It closes in the opposite direction of a typical umbrella, so the wet surface is tucked inside.

The moment you close it, the wet fabric may touch your arm or clothing, or water may drip from the umbrella brought inside a vehicle... On rainy days, you might be more concerned about “after closing” than the time spent using the umbrella. Denkyousha's multifunctional reverse closing umbrella is 60 cm. It also has a water-repellent treatment.

Product Name / Memoria Foldable Umbrella Carbon Lightweight Mini 60 cm
Price / 5,500 yen

For those who prefer foldable options, the "Memoria Foldable Umbrella Carbon Lightweight Mini 60 cm" is also available. It aims to balance shape memory and lightness by directly creating folds in the fabric. When you need to move quickly, the time spent neatly folding a foldable umbrella feels annoyingly wasteful. It seems like it could reduce even that small stress.

On a night road, I want to alert others not only to the rain but also to my presence

Product Name / Mack Arclight Rain Suit
Price / 7980 yen

An umbrella alone cannot cover your feet. Mack's "Arclight Rain Suit" uses stretch material that extends in all directions, ensuring ease of movement in rainy weather. What’s even more interesting is that it combines reflective materials with PLC photoluminescent printing. PLC absorbs sunlight, white fluorescent lights, and white LED light, glowing in the dark. No power source is required, of course.

Product Name / Mack Crossover Junior Raincoat Size / 120–130cm, 140–150cm
Price / 3278 yen

When autumn arrives, the time the sun sets also becomes earlier. On rainy days, visibility is already poor; if rain gear also serves the purpose of being "findable," it seems reliable for regular use such as commuting or walking.

Product Name / Outdoor Products Raincoat Kids Land Coat Size / 140 cm・150 cm Price / 2728 yen

It's easy to move if you can put a wet umbrella into your bag.

Product Name / Wpc. Business Umbrella Case Price / 2200 yen

Don't forget to care for your umbrella after the rain stops. Wpc.'s "Business Umbrella Case" uses an absorbent material on the inside, allowing you to store a wet folding umbrella directly. It opens wide with an L-shaped zipper and can also be used as a bottle holder. When it comes to rain measures, it often ends with "which umbrella to buy." However, the actual movement continues all the way from opening and closing the umbrella to getting on a train or car and walking again.

Product Name / Mottelu Compact Umbrella Case
Price / 1320 yen

Umbrellas that withstand strong winds, easy-to-move rainwear, and cases for storing wet umbrellas. You don’t need to equip yourself with everything, but it might be good to think about where you struggle on rainy days and review them one by one.
