XD 270 Awning With Lights—Ultimate Shade in Blackout Grey Hex

Introducing the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex Awning With Lights: The Premium Shade Solution for Overlanding & Worksite Applications

As demand for overland and adventure-ready gear continues to grow, Overland Vehicle Systems (OVS) is proud to offer one of the most advanced shade solutions on the market: the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex Awning with Lights. This product combines rugged functionality, long-lasting durability, and customer-first engineering to create an awning system that’s as tough as it is easy to deploy.

Designed for the discerning consumer who expects the best, the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex is a freestanding, quick-deploy awning system that provides 270 degrees of coverage and approximately 125 square feet of shade. Whether you’re selling to weekend explorers, full-time vanlifers, commercial outfitters or expedition fleets, this awning delivers top-tier performance in a sleek, modern form factor.

Rugged Construction, Built for the Elements

The XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex is constructed with premium materials throughout. Its robust framework is crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum with a satin black powder-coated finish, making it corrosion-resistant and capable of withstanding years of use in extreme conditions. The canopy fabric is made from 320G rip-stop poly-cotton in our exclusive Black Out Grey Hex pattern, offering an aggressive yet refined appearance.

This fabric isn’t just good-looking—it’s fully UV-resistant, features blackout interior technology for optimal shade, and is treated with a 5000mm PU waterproof coating to shed rain with ease. Whether you’re in direct sun, high winds or sudden downpours, the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex stands ready to perform.

Integrated LED Lighting System

A standout feature for both dealers and consumers is the integrated lighting. This awning includes built-in LED light strips mounted on the rear three support rafters. This added functionality enhances nighttime usability without requiring additional lighting gear or power accessories. It’s plug-and-play ready and adds a high-perceived value that sets this product apart from its competition in-store and online.

This lighting feature increases campsite or worksite safety, improves evening usability, and eliminates the need for third-party installations—an appealing point for both DIY customers and professional installers.

Wind-Tested and Freestanding—Truly Extreme Duty

In terms of performance, the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex is rated among the best in its class for wind resistance. Fully freestanding, it can withstand 20-25 mph winds without additional support, thanks to its robust frame and structural arms. For harsher environments or long deployments, the awning includes:

• • Three pivoting, adjustable support legs (up to 8.5 feet in height)
  • Six high-tension guy lines
  • Six heavy-duty ground stakes

When properly anchored, the system is rated to hold up against wind speeds up to 40 mph, making it ideal for everything from exposed desert environments to windy coastal terrains.

Efficient Storage & Compact Profile

One of the key advantages of the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex is how much functionality is packed into such a compact footprint. When not in use, the awning folds tightly into its 840D heavy-duty travel cover, measuring approximately 88 inches in length, 8 inches in height, and 7 inches in width. Despite its large deployed coverage area, it remains easy to transport, lightweight (approximately 71 pounds), and well-balanced when mounted on racks or trailers.

This balance between size and strength makes it a practical option for a wide range of applications—from dual-purpose daily drivers to full-blown expedition builds.

Universal Mounting with Driver/Passenger-Side Options

With driver- and passenger-side configuration options, the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex can be mounted to nearly any overland vehicle platform. It includes:

• • Heavy-duty mounting brackets
  • Full hardware kit
  • Compatibility with most rack systems and crossbar platforms

This flexibility reduces installation friction for your customers while allowing your sales team to confidently recommend this product across multiple vehicle types and use cases.

Easy to Sell, Easy to Support

For dealers, the XD Nomadic 270 Grey Hex offers multiple key advantages:

• • Fast-Moving SKU: Awnings are one of the fastest-growing product categories in the overland space.
  • High Average Order Value: The integrated LED lighting, heavy-duty frame, and premium blackout fabric command a higher price point while still offering strong perceived value.
  • Low Return Rate: Built with precision and high-quality materials, the awning minimizes common warranty issues or customer dissatisfaction.
  • Backed by a Best-in-Class Warranty: Overland Vehicle Systems offers a lifetime structural warranty and a 6-year limited fabric warranty, giving your customers peace of mind and your team fewer post-sale issues.
