The Knirps X4U is a particularly compact umbrella. Measuring only 21 cm in length when folded, it opens out to a diameter of 90 cm for effective rain protection. Despite its low weight of 130 grams, the Knirps is wind tunnel tested and can withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h. It also offers convenient handling and a minimalist design language. Another practical feature is an absorbent microfibre case to store the umbrella after use and prevent water-sensitive items in the bag from getting wet.
