## Background of Development | Addressing User's "Folding Stress"
The 2025 model "MFU5S" received strong support from many customers due to its innovative convenience of "folding in 5 seconds". For the 2026 model "MFU1S", we further deepened that value, pursuing a new experiential value of "tidying up in 1 second". By realizing a structure where the fabric naturally tidies itself up simultaneously with the closing motion of the umbrella, we have further elevated the everyday action itself to be smarter. This model embodies "master craftsmanship improvements" that not only improve performance but also beautify the user's gestures.
## Main Features of "MFU1S"
### 1. 【Innovation】 "1-Second Storage" Completed the Moment it Closes
The special PET panel built inside works in conjunction with the opening and closing motion of the umbrella, guiding the fabric to its ideal fold.
- **Zero effort**: There is no need to manually tidy up the folds.
- **Lasting beauty**: The panel stably maintains its shape, ensuring comfortable storage over a long period.
### 2. 【Top Class】 100% Complete Light Blocking × -20°C Heat Shielding
Adopting a 4-layer high-performance coated fabric, it achieves both high-level light blocking and heat shielding.
- **Heat shielding performance**: It exhibits a maximum heat shielding effect of -20°C under direct sunlight, providing coolness like being in the shade.
