Eclipse Shade Technology™️
Eclipse Shade Technology™️ (EST) takes its cue from one of the most powerful forces Aussies know well — the blazing sun. Just like a total eclipse transforms the sky in an instant, EST flips harsh UV and punishing heat into cool, liveable shade. Imagine pulling up at a bush camp or a windswept beach and, within seconds, stepping into a pocket of calm comfort — that’s what EST delivers.

Why do we do this?
Long before OPENROAD became a name, we were adventurers with nothing but basic gear — and awnings that failed when the Aussie sun turned brutal. That’s when we learnt shade should mean cooler camps, stronger shelter, and real UV protection.

How do we do this?
From PU coatings to lab-tested upgrades, every step was guided by data and hard use in the field. The outcome? Eclipse Shade, a next-gen coating that outperforms standard fabrics — delivering stronger UV protection, cooler shade, and proven durability for the outback.
