Lite Awning

Description

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. 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 Eezi-Awn 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 or vehicles 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 — setup and stow in under 60 seconds solo.
• Slimmest Bag Profile: Closed at just 3″ wide and 5″ tall, the Lite sits closer to the roofline than any hardcase awning and adds virtually no visual bulk to the vehicle.
• 260 Gram Waterproof Ripstop Canvas: The same canopy spec used across the Eezi-Awn awning line — waterproof, UV-resistant, and durable across repeated use in varied climates.
• Stake-Compatible Adjustable Legs: Legs extend from 47″ to 92″ (1200–2300mm) and can be staked to the ground for added stability in windy conditions.
• UV-Resistant PVC Cover: The tonneau-grade PVC bag protects the rolled canvas from road debris and UV degradation during travel — the same cover material used on the Dragonfly, Bat, and Manta.

IDEAL FOR

• Weight-conscious builds — smaller 4WDs or rooftop tent rigs where minimizing roof load is a priority.
• Day-use shade at trailheads, campsites, or short stops where fast solo deployment is more important than maximum coverage area.
• Overlanders who want a proven bag awning with hardcase-quality materials at a lower price and weight point than the Series 1000 or 2000.
• Secondary awnings added to vehicles already running a 270° system — coverage on the opposite side without significant weight addition.
