Why does an umbrella need UV protection?
Umbrellas with UV protection are becoming increasingly important as changes in the ozone layer allow more UV rays to reach Earth. They serve as versatile companions that not only protect against rain but also provide an additional barrier against harmful radiation on sunny days. It is important to note that UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, affect skin structure, and contribute to premature skin aging, while UVB rays are more energetic, can cause sunburn, but also support the production of vitamin D.

UV PROTECTION
UV protection: The inner coating of Heat Shield models absorbs at least 99.95% of UVA and UVB rays. This protection is tested and certified according to the world’s strictest standard, the Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:2017 / AS 4399:2020.
HEAT PROTECTION
Why is heat protection so important in an umbrella?
On warm days, direct sunlight can quickly become uncomfortable. An umbrella with heat protection provides pleasant shade and shields you from high temperatures. This way, you can stay relaxed even on hot days.

LIGHT CUT
Why is Knirps Light Cut glare protection so important?
With an umbrella that has a sunshade, no sunlight penetrates the canopy. This effectively blocks out sunlight and noticeably reduces eye strain, helping to prevent headaches and fatigue.
How does the Knirps Light Cut sunshade protect outdoors?
The Knirps Light Cut anti-glare lenses reduce annoying glare and create more comfortable outdoor lighting conditions. This relieves eye strain, prevents fatigue, and noticeably improves visual comfort. People who are particularly sensitive to light benefit from this gentle support for eye health. Its effectiveness has been confirmed according to JUPA Test Method 7.7.6.
