I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Yakima SlimShady 4.5'

Description

title: Yakima, SlimShady 4.5'

Don't let its low-profile fool you: this awning packs small and delivers big. From sideline cheers to ridge line views, the SlimShady offers excellent protection from searing sun and sudden showers. It mounts quickly and easily (no tools needed!) to your roof rack crossbars, and only takes up six inches of bar space leaving plenty of room for cargo boxes, bikes, or boats. Super easy to use—just roll it out and set up the poles—its light, strong polyester canopy has a waterproof PU coating to shed rain and serve up plenty of shady coverage on summer days. Available in three sizes, so you're covered no matter how far, or near, your adventures take you.

  • Universal tool-free mounting hardware fits most roof racks
  • Provides 30 square feet of sun and weather protection (4.5' x 6.5')
  • Rolls into a 4.5 foot long case when not in use, leaving tons of room on your roof rack for other gear
  • 420D polyester fabric with PU coating is light, durable and waterproof
  • Easy to pitch – just pull it out, prop it up and settle in
  • FAQs:

    Q: Will it mount to round crossbars?

    A: Yes, the mounting brackets are adjustable to various shapes of mounting bars.

    Q: Will this fit my 2014 Subaru Outback factory roof racks?

    A: Yes.

    Q: Can it be mounted facing the rear?

    A: Depends on your rack mostly if you have a cross bar in the back. I don't, so sideways is my only option.
