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.

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.
