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.

Product Highlights
Nothing Rigid to Break
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.
Seven Pounds, Complete
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.
One Awning, Any Vehicle
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.
Build an Outdoor Room
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.
Tested Somewhere Windy
Designed and tested in the Columbia River Gorge, which is not a gentle place to prove an awning.
Gen 4 Materials
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.

Important Information

- Annex walls are sold separately and are not part of this awning.
- If your vehicle has no roof rack, you will need separate mounting points such as FlexMounts or compatible suction or magnetic anchors. Contact us and we will help work out what suits your vehicle.
- In windy conditions, annex walls should be staked down for stability. As with any awning, take it down in severe weather.
- Packed dimensions are not listed. Get in touch if you need them for storage planning.
- Colour availability varies, and some Dyneema finishes are limited stock. Contact us before ordering if you have a specific finish in mind.
- Do not over-inflate beyond 8 PSI, and keep the struts away from sharp objects and heat sources.
- Dry the canopy fully before packing it away.
