Darkness Pro with D-Zip
Product Information
Freestanding Strength. Seamless Access. Serious Shade.
Tackle every adventure with the Darkness – Pro with D-Zip, purpose-built for rugged touring and harsh Australian conditions. Featuring our upgraded 320gsm Hexatough UV50+ waterproof canvas and a freestanding ENDO frame, it delivers long-lasting durability, instant setup, and easy access to your rooftop tent or gear.
Standout Features
Durable Black Canvas: 320gsm Hexatough UV50+ waterproof canvas in bold black for superior weather protection, enhanced UV resistance, and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
D-Zip Access Panel: Handy D-zip design allows quick access to your rooftop tent or vehicle roof without fuss.
Reinforced Arm Guards: Heavy-duty guards on each awning arm enhance structural integrity.
Hinge Canvas Cover: External canvas mechanism that covers the hinge point at the open position, significantly reducing water ingress through the hinge area for a consistently dry, comfortable setup.
Multi-Functional RGB Lighting: Four 100 cm pre-installed RGB LED arms with multi-functional options: pulsing and strobe for vibrant effects, sound-activated rhythm lights that sync to music for a party vibe, and a red light function to reduce bugs (invisible to most insects, unlike white or amber lights). Loud when you want it, quiet when you need it—choose lively disco lights or a single-colour glow for a relaxed evening, no extra installation required.
Effortless Setup: Designed for quick and easy setup, the awning opens smoothly with minimal effort, using intuitive ratchet ropes and pre-installed components for hassle-free deployment.
Velcro Valance: Easily attach awning walls for added shelter.
Integrated Sail Track: Mount your awning organiser or other accessories with ease.
