We all love living in Australia and we know that we’ve been blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery in the world. But most Aussies know, it comes with a price and it’s easy to tell who’s come prepared and who hasn’t. If you think the old slip, slop, slap trick will work for you... guess again and as most Northen Europeans learn the hard way, sunburn can and will ruin a holiday. The Compact Batwing awning has 270 degrees of shade and 6.4m² of coverage, this smaller design is perfect for solo adventurers and couples with small to medium vehicles. The Compact Batwing awning is ideal for enjoying what outback Australia has to offer.  

The Compact Batwing awning is made from a heavy-duty, water and mould resistant material that has been tested and rated to UPF 50+, offering maximum sun protection. With accessories available to increase your coverage even more. Enjoy making unforgettable memories with the whole crew under a Batwing Awning, perfect for any outdoor occasion.   

The user-friendly design means it can be set up or packed away within minutes. You don’t have to be Bear Grylls to set it up either, as the entire installation shouldn't take more than an hour. Everything you need is included in the heavy-duty PVC awning bag: poles, ropes, pegs, plus a fitting kit to help you mount the awning to your roof racks.  Brave the Australian sun or stay dry in the wet season under a Compact Batwing awning.

*Rhino-Rack has partnered with Cancer Council and the Rhino-Rack Batwing as well as our Sunseeker Awnings are Cancer Council endorsed products. That means every purchase supports their work in Cancer Research and Services. Remember that shade does not provide 100% protection. Some of the sun’s UV can still reach you in the shade by reflecting off surrounding surfaces. As a rule of thumb, if you can see the sky, you are less than fully protected so always combine shade with clothing, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
