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.

Eclipse Shade Technology™ – Sun Protection for 4WD & Camping
More than sun protection—it’s Openroad’s immersive cooling experience for your outdoor adventures.
01.
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.


02.
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.
03.
What will this change?
With Eclipse Shade Technology™, the midday glare softens, the heat drops, and your camp stays liveable. It transforms brutal Aussie sunlight into cool, comfortable shade — the kind of spot you’ll actually want to sit back and enjoy.
