Eezi-Awn Lite Awning
Choose options
The Eezi-Awn Lite Awning (formerly the Shade Awning) is a lightweight, roll-up bag awning built for overlanders who want fast, reliable shade without the weight or bulk of a hardcase system. A self-contained aluminum framework rolls out and locks into position with a simple twist — setup and takedown in under a minute. It trades the wrap-around coverage of a 270 for a straight single-side panel, so it is about shade and simplicity rather than maximum enclosed area. Available in 2M and 2.5M in Grey or Beige, with a 260 gram waterproof ripstop canvas panel and UV-resistant PVC cover made at Eezi-Awn's Johannesburg facility.
Key Features
- Lightest in the awning line: at 18 lbs (2M) and 20 lbs (2.5M), the Lite is the lightest awning Eezi-Awn makes — ideal for weight-conscious builds where every pound on the roof matters.
- Twist-lock deployment: the self-contained aluminum framework rolls out and locks in one motion — no springs, no latches, no tools, and setup or stow in under 60 seconds solo.
- Slimmest bag profile: closed at just 3" wide and 5" tall, it sits close to the roofline and adds virtually no visual bulk.
- 260 gram waterproof ripstop canvas: the same canopy spec used across the Eezi-Awn awning line — waterproof, UV-resistant and durable across varied climates.
- Stake-compatible adjustable legs: legs extend from 47" to 92" (1200–2300mm) and can be staked to the ground for stability in wind.
