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.
IN THE BOX
- Lite Awning (canopy, PVC cover, arms, and adjustable legs)
Additional mounting hardware may be required depending on your roof rack. See the Eezi-Awn Bat/Manta/Swift/Lite/Dragonfly Awning Mount for compatible options.
COMPATIBILITY
The Lite Awning mounts to virtually any roof rack using the Eezi-Awn Bat/Manta/Swift/Lite/Dragonfly Awning Mount (sold separately). It is natively compatible with the Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack. Specific hardware requirements vary by vehicle — see the Awning Mounts page for a fitment guide.
