Hello Keeve,
Great question! Yakima got away with using the name “SlimShady” for quite some time, but eventually, the real Slim Shady stood up and put an end to it all.
If you are looking for lots of shade, you are definitely going to want the Yakima OverNOut 270 XL Awning # Y85QD. The SlimShady was only 42 Sq Ft, then the next size up the MajorShady # Y82AV is 80 Sq Ft, and the Yakima OverNOut is a whopping 132 Sq Ft.
Did you have either the SlimShady or the MajorShady and are looking to upgrade?
