ALPS Mountaineering Tri-Awning Elite - Charcoal | Lightweight 3-Pole Shade Shelter

Meet the ALPS Mountaineering Tri-Awning Elite in Charcoal, a compact shade shelter designed for versatile use at outdoor events. Weighing just 7 pounds, it is 2.5 pounds lighter than the regular version, making it easy to carry and deploy when you need quick shelter. The easy three-pole aluminum frame folds into a compact pack, while removable sunshield panels give you flexible protection from sun, wind, or light rain.

One thoughtful design touch is the taller side eave, which improves visibility while you stay shaded. The Tri-Awning Elite is built for straightforward setup with a three-pole assembly, allowing you to spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the moment. It arrives with a center Velcro light loop, six auxiliary hang loops, two mesh pockets, additional guy-out points, stakes, guy ropes, and a compression carry bag — all you need to secure and organize your shade space.

Practical shading for nearly any outdoor occasion is where the Elite shines. Use it at tailgates to create a cool, comfortable lounge, at a park for a sunny picnic, or at a campsite to carve out a personal shade zone. The combination of fabric and mesh sunshield panels provides options: sun protection with wind-blocking potential on breezy days, or increased airflow when the sun sits lower in the sky. Its adaptable height and area options are designed to fit your activity, whether you’re leading a game, relaxing with friends, or taking a break in the shade.
