DARCHE Eclipse Rapid X 2x2.5m Awning

Pull up. Pop it open. Shade in seconds. The DARCHE Eclipse Rapid X is built tough and built to move, giving you solid, reliable cover without slowing down your trip.

The scissor arm layout and spring roller system snap into place fast, so you get full coverage with almost zero effort, and an even quicker pack down when it's time to roll. A tough ABS and aluminium alloy shell protects the whole unit in transit, while the freestanding setup and automatic retraction mean there's no wrestling with poles or guy ropes at camp.

Once the sun goes down, dual colour LED strips built into the arms and the case light up your campsite with clean, even visibility. The 300D nylon canopy is graphene coated for extra durability, carries a 5000mm waterhead rating to keep you dry in heavy weather, and offers UPF 50+ protection from the sun. Mounting hardware is included, so it's ready to bolt on and head straight for the next track.

Built by DARCHE, a proudly Australian outdoor gear company since 1991, the Eclipse Rapid X is designed and tested for real Australian conditions, from harsh sun to sudden downpours.
