An awning held up entirely by air rather than poles, which is what makes it weigh 7 lbs complete with its bag and attachments. Inflate it to 8 PSI with a standard SUP or raft pump, hook it to your vehicle, and you have 42 square feet of covered space beside the car. There is no permanent installation, no hardware to fit, and because it is not bolted to one vehicle you can move it between them. The Gen 4 version uses Dacron or Dyneema struts, TPU air bladders, a ripstop polyester canopy, and waterproof taped seams.
No poles, no rods, no mechanical arms, no ground supports. Inflatable struts flex in wind rather than bending or snapping, and there is nothing to seize up after a season of dust and salt.
A hard-mounted awning is a permanent weight penalty on your roof. This one lives in a bag until you need it, and weighs less than most camp chairs.
Attaches to factory and aftermarket roof racks, truck bed racks, campers and shells, rooftop tents, slider doors, roof gutters, and door tops. Swap it between vehicles as your setup changes.
Up to three annex walls fit the three sides not attached to the vehicle, turning open shade into an enclosed space for cooking, changing, or sitting out bad weather.
Designed and tested in the Columbia River Gorge, which is not a gentle place to prove an awning.
The 2026 Gen 4 brings Dyneema marine options, spring-loaded Halkey-Roberts valves, Dacron or Dyneema struts, and TPU bladders, while keeping the packable design.
