When it comes to getting into the great outdoors this year, there are a few essentials you absolutely must invest in to keep comfortable, safe and to generally have an enjoyable time camping. And one of those is a dependable and comfortable swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Whether you\u2019re looking to set up camp by a river, in the bush or out in the desert, a swag is essential. However, choosing one of these from thousands on the market can be quite difficult \u2014 especially if you aren\u2019t too sure what to look for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Those new to camping, or new to investing in some great swags will know that there are a tonne of features on offer by swag makers, and these should be factored into your purchase to make sure you\u2019re getting the best products out there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With that said, we have a list of all the best swags in Australia for 2021 below as well as a tonne of information that you need to know to make choosing a swag a little bit easier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Why Invest in a Good Quality Swag<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As you\u2019ll already know, swags are often designed to last and they\u2019re going to be one of your integral camping companions for decades to come. In fact, most avid campers will let you know that they\u2019ve had their swag for years or even decades, and many swags are passed down through families.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may not be in the market for a swag that\u2019s going to find its way into the hands of your grandchildren, but we\u2019re sure you\u2019re going to be on the look out for a quality model that you\u2019ll be able to rely on for at least a decade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With a quality swag, you\u2019ll be able to rest assured that you have a safe and comfortable sleep surface ready no matter where you\u2019re going camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Swags are generally durable and able to be thrown down on just about any surface out in the bush, regardless of what\u2019s on the ground, and the better the model you have, the better chance you\u2019re going to have at getting a good night\u2019s sleep wherever you are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All that said, let\u2019s take a look below at what features are essential in a good quality swag and what you should look for when buying one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Best Features to Look for in a Swag<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For those new to buying swags, or anyone unsure about what is important to look out for when investing in the best swag, we have some great pointers for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There are a few things to keep in mind that will significantly dictate how well you sleep when you\u2019re out camping, and we\u2019ll take a look at these below. Whether you\u2019re looking for a bedroll swag or a traditional swag, or just about anything else, or you\u2019re unsure about the differences, we have everything you need to know below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Bedroll or Traditional Swags<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Off the top, these swags are the ones you\u2019ll most likely have in your mind when you hear the word \u2018swag\u2019 \u2014 and for good reason.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n These types of swags are tried and true and have been around for just about as long as we can all remember. They\u2019re essentially a canvas pocket that has a comfortable, thin mattress wedged inside of it, and you\u2019re able to roll them up and zip or stud them together for transport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When it comes to setting these models up and transporting them, there\u2019s little that comes close to the ease of use. You\u2019ll be able to unroll these at any campsite and simply get some shut eye no matter where you are. There\u2019s little to no set up time and they\u2019re just about as simple as a sleeping bag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s also good to note that these are very light models too and they\u2019re as robust as they come. If you\u2019re someone who just wants to chuck their swag in the ute and get out camping, then this is the model for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There aren\u2019t too many downsides to these swags other than the fact they\u2019re a little like a sleeping bag and don\u2019t have a cover or any tent-like features.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n All that said, for the robust and traditional camping swag, the bedroll models are the ones you should look towards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Tunnel or Dome Swags<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To the more modern models now, and to the swags with a roof or a cover, the tunnel or dome swags are going to be the top choice for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n These are essentially like a camp cot or a tent of sorts. You\u2019ll typically set these up at your campsite with the ropes and poles included and you\u2019ll be on your way to a good night\u2019s sleep out of the weather and free from bugs and other nasties if you choose a dome swag with zippable doors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s good to note that when compared to traditional swags, these are a lot more cumbersome to set up and also to carry with you given that there\u2019s lots of little things that need to go with them, like the poles for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In all, these are still excellent options for those who want to get out camping but not deal with the bugs or the weather.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Air Swags<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Getting to the more modern and most recent additions to the swag world, the air swags are going to be your top choice if you\u2019re looking for something that\u2019s easier to set up than a dome swag and has a bit more comfort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As expected, the air swags rely on an air pump to inflate and maintain the shape of the swag as you sleep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Of course, these do offer more comfort, though with the pump and added fuss, it might not be worth your while to invest in one of these models. Although they do only take around 15 seconds to inflate, you will have to leave everything connected to keep the air pressure maintained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We\u2019re happy to say that swags do come in standard sizes just like mattresses, which is great when it comes to finding bedding to fit these iconic Aussie sleeping companions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019ll find swags in sizes from Single through to King and that means sizing is as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It goes without saying that to find the best swag for you in 2021 you should always consider your height and the height of your sleeping partner and go from there. You always want to choose something that\u2019s going to offer plenty of wiggle room and enough space to get a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One thing to note is to ensure your swag is going to fit in a tent or whatever you\u2019re planning on sleeping in. If you\u2019re setting up shop on the ground, any size will be fine, though if you\u2019re sliding your swag into a tent, make sure that you\u2019re getting a tent and swag which complements one another.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another important factor to note when buying a new swag is choosing a model with materials that are going to withstand your camping activities and the locations you often find yourself camping in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For example, if you\u2019re someone who often camps by rivers or anywhere that the air can become a little damp or prone to dew building up, you\u2019re going to want to choose a swag that features waterproofing and other essential elements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With that said it\u2019s also a good idea to invest in a swag that\u2019s either designed for multiple different camp sites, or is well-suited to your own camping activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re looking for the best swags to keep you dry and warm in rather moist or rain-prone campsites, consider the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Finding the Right Density<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Off the top, you\u2019re going to want to choose a swag with a material density of at least 400gsm which will be able to keep water out of the product. Keep in mind that this is somewhat of a bare minimum, and we\u2019d suggest pushing toward 540gsm is possible, given that you\u2019re able to rely on this for durability too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In all, a higher GSM is going to keep your swag in tip top shape for longer and you\u2019re not going to see all too much moisture penetration, if any at all when you\u2019re camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Seams and Sewing<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another major point to keep note of is the sewing and cotton thread. We\u2019d only ever suggest choosing a swag with a high gauge thread as you\u2019ll want to make sure that the swag\u2019s materials are well adhered to one another and not going to allow moisture in, or let any warmth out when it\u2019s cold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can often find information on the thread and sewing on a swag on the product sheets on retail store websites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Anti-tear Materials<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For those who are looking for durability and a product that can take a battering, then you\u2019re going to want to look for a swag that offers anti-tear or anti-rip materials. These are going to ensure that no matter how rough you\u2019re being with your swag, you\u2019re not going to see the materials tear and fray over time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Of course, there is a limit to how effective this is, though having this type of material on hand at all is a big plus when looking for the best swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Resistance to Mould<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019ve done any research online, you\u2019ll know that mould and mildew can <\/em>become an issue with swags over time, especially if you find yourself camping in a moisture-prone area like by the sea, a lake or a river.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n That said, there are a few manufacturers out there adding mould-proofing to their materials, which we would highly suggest you stay on the look out for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This will also keep you healthy and less prone to reactions in your sleep, as well as make sure your swag lasts a whole lot longer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Climate Rating<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another big factor to keep in mind is the climate rating. It isn\u2019t a secret that Australia is a giant country and you\u2019re likely going to be camping in one specific climate zone, rather than travelling through all of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With that said, make sure to double check that the swag you\u2019re looking to buy is designed for your specific climate zone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Those in Darwin are certainly not going to want to buy a swag that\u2019s been designed for use in Victoria, for example. So make sure you\u2019re getting a swag that is as light or a thick as possible, depending on where you live.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A final few things to keep an eye on when it comes to swags are the quality of accessories and essentials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re investing in a dome swag, you\u2019re going to want to take a look online at reviews or user complaints about poles, ventilation or zipper issues. This will let you know whether a swag is of a high quality or not, and if you can depend on it when you\u2019re out camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s also good to keep in mind the quality and comfort of the built-in mattress or sleeping pad. You\u2019re going to be sleeping on this material, and if it\u2019s getting some pretty poor reviews, you\u2019re not going to be getting a great experience out of your swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A Look at the Best Swags in Australia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With all of our essentials for swags out of the way, we can take a look at our list of the best swags in Australia in 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n All of these models are excellent picks and we\u2019ve chosen a variety to ensure you\u2019re able to find something that offers a great sleeping experience, incredible added features and perks for your own specific camping style.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whether you\u2019re in a cold climate or a hot one, or you\u2019re a little more rough with your swag than most, there\u2019s something on the list for you below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re looking for a quick summary of the best swags, we have outlined our winning brands and models below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Deluxe Escape Single Swag by Adventure Kings<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The overall winner of the best swag in Australia this year is the Deluxe Escape model from Adventure Kings. It offers incredible value for money and you\u2019re getting a swag that\u2019s comfortable, durable and climate controlled to make sure that you\u2019re able to get a good night\u2019s sleep wherever you\u2019re camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As we mentioned, it comes with that sweet spot 400gsm canvas with an anti-rip feature that makes sure you\u2019re not going to see a small tear turn your swag into two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There\u2019s enough space here for one person to get a great night\u2019s sleep with a tonne of wiggle room and you\u2019re going to see a waterproof material for the floor too, which means you\u2019re able to set the swag down on the ground and not need to worry about moisture making its way up through the base of the mattress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s good to note that this is essentially the best swag for those looking for the ideal middle ground between value and experience. You can\u2019t really go wrong here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Steel Dusk to Dawn Swag by Darche<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Up the ladder a little more, and coming at a slightly higher price than the Deluxe Escape is the Steel Dusk model.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019re going to see a tonne of practicality based features here with things like spaces for keys, plenty of pockets and even a boot mat for keeping your shoes up and out of the swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The built-in canopy here also features an awesome sky view option, which means you\u2019re still getting a calming and incredible view of the stars at night even though you\u2019re well protected from the elements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To add, the swag is going to keep you from getting soaked should it rain, and being of a high quality and well-built, you\u2019re kept out of the wind too, should things pick up a little too much during the night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In all, this is the higher-end swag of our two winners, with some added features and a slightly better build quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The List of the Best Swags in Australia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With our two favourites out of the way, let\u2019s take a deeper look into all the swag models you have to choose from and which ones might be best for you when it\u2019s time to head off the beaten track.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Deluxe Single Swag by Adventure Kings<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As we mentioned, the Deluxe Single Swag is our top all-rounder given that it pairs incredible comfort with a great price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019re going to see some nifty storm flaps coming into play here as well as ventilation that makes sure you\u2019re kept cool as you\u2019re sleeping on those warm nights. When things get a little cold though, you can simply zip up the flaps and get some shut eye in the warm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019ll find that although this is the single size of the swag, there\u2019s also a double size that makes it possible to get all the great features, price and built quality in a two-sleeper model as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The footprint of this swag comes in at 215cm by 155cm and its 100cm of headroom make it a lot easier to get to sleep than on most other swags out there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n That said, if you\u2019re after a double swag, then Adventure Kings have you covered too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 210 x 90 x 80 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 400gsm Canvas with anti-tear<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 50mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 a PVC Waterproof Floor<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 12 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Steel Dusk to Dawn Swag by <\/strong>Darche<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As a brand that\u2019s known for excellent quality, you\u2019re in good hands when you invest in the Steel Dusk from Darche.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For those looking for the swag that could be handed down to the kids or grandkids, these swags are the models for you, and with a tonne of added features and a focus on durability, you\u2019re certainly able to take this model wherever you want to go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We do need to mention that it is quite expensive when compared to some of the other swags on the list, though there is a reason for this. You\u2019re getting everything from pockets, a boot mat and star gazing features to make the most of your time outdoors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There\u2019s a whole load of interior space here too, and with a storm cover and storage pockets designed for phones, you\u2019re essentially camping in what is almost a tent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To add, the wind protection and weather proofing you\u2019re getting from this swag is so ideal we\u2019re confident in saying that this could replace a tent for a lot of campers out there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 215 x 110 x 81 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 420gsm Canvas with anti-tear<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 50mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 a PVC Vinyl Floor<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 14 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The <\/strong>Swag by <\/strong>Darche<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our second model from Darche, the \u2018Swag\u2019 is the brand\u2019s air swag and the model you\u2019re going to be able to use without any annoying poles or ropes, which means setting up this swag and also carrying or transporting it is a whole lot easier than a lot of other models on the list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019re going to find that the pump here is incredibly efficient and isn\u2019t too loud at all, and you\u2019ll have the swag set up in just about 15 seconds, which is fantastic for those last-minute campsite set ups before a storm arrives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019re going to see the high-volume pump coming into action to pump up the internal frame here, which is what gives this swag the shape and then you\u2019ll be able to simply hop into bed when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We\u2019d also like to point out that although this pump-up situation seems a little cumbersome, we\u2019re confident in saying that it\u2019s a game changer. There\u2019s nothing easier than sitting back and letting something set itself up, and with the Swag by Darche, you\u2019re able to do just that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One other thing to note is that even though this is an air-frame swag, there\u2019s still a tonne of resistance to the weather and wind, so when the weather does get a little rough, you\u2019re not going to see your swag blowing out of shape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Although there isn\u2019t a true downside to this swag, we will say that the price can be a little steep for some of our readers. If you\u2019re after value or not too interested in spending a tonne of money on a swag, then this model may not be for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To end, there are installation and set up videos available online for this swag, so you\u2019ll know what to do when you get out to camp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 215 x 110 x 80 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 320gsm Canvas with anti-tear<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 50mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 a PVC Vinyl Floor<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 14 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Homestead Swag by Kulkyne Kampers<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One of the lesser known brands on the list, Kulkyne Kampers, comes with an excellent swag for a relatively affordable price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There is a point of difference here in the fact that this swag doesn\u2019t sit on the ground, but rather comes with a frame that allows the entire sleeping surface to be elevated off the ground for a more comfortable and arguably more safe sleep \u2014 away from bugs and nasties, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n That elevation in mind, and you\u2019re getting a tonne of ventilation here, a lot of sleep space and also storm flaps and insect screens. All of which come together to create a swag that is certainly one of the more comfortable on the list and, again, could work to replace a tent entirely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can also invest in a sleeping bag here should you want to add a bit of extra comfort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For those looking to go camping as a couple, or with a few mates, it\u2019s good to keep in mind that there are also twin and double models of this swag on offer too, so you\u2019re getting a lot more sleep space for more than one person should you need it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One thing to note, which may be off-putting, is that the swag does come with a support bar sitting beneath the sleep surface on the double model. This means if you\u2019re investing in the larger variant for just one person, you still won\u2019t be able to sleep in the middle and spread out, as the bar is quite uncomfortable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 225 x 100 x 80 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 440gsm Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 40mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 14 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Easy Fold Tent Bed by Oztrail<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With neo-swags seemingly becoming the norm, another brand out there looking to change how we understand the swag is Oztrail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The brand offers a rather odd-yet-comfortable swag here, which works as a stretcher tent or somewhat of a cot-like model. It may look a little strange when compared to a few of the other products on our list, but it still offers a rather great sleeping experience, and you\u2019re not going to have any complaints when it comes to getting a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On this model, you\u2019re again up off the floor or the dirt like the Kulkyne swag, and that means you\u2019re getting good ventilation and staying comfortable away from rocks and sticks below the mattress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s a little lighter than a few other products too at just over 12 kilos, so carrying it and setting it up isn\u2019t too hard at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To add, there\u2019s a great weatherproof design here which means you\u2019re keeping yourself protected in this durable little tent-like-swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With all that said, this swag is another contender for those looking to get the most comfort out of their swag without buying into a fully-fledged rooftop tent with a mattress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 200 x 80 x 140 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 Synthetic UVTex<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 40mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 Synthetic<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 12.5 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Bushman Deluxe Swag by AOS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Coming right out of an Australian business, the Bushman is a swag that\u2019s been well-curated to the requirements of the Aussie camper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is a rather no-frills model and comes closer to be a traditional swag than just about all the models on our list. You\u2019re getting the plush mattress sleep surface and a small triangle shelter and not too much else.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There\u2019s some awesome integrated tech in the materials here that make it both rot-proof and waterproof, so you\u2019re getting the assurance that you\u2019ll stay dry when you\u2019re out camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On top of this, there\u2019s a 470gsm canvas material coming into play here, which makes it one of the most durable on the market today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Add to this some essential features like the carry bag, the guy ropes and the pegs are included and you\u2019re getting a well-rounded swag and some essentials that make setting up camp a breeze.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There\u2019s a 10-year warranty here too, going along with that incredible 470gsm canvas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 200 x 71 x 70 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 470gsm Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 70mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 8.7 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Mitchell Expedition Swag by Oztrail<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Making our way back to the rather new-age swags now, and the Mitchell Expedition variant from Oztrail is arguably the be-all-end-all model here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s quite large and comes with a dome that\u2019s durable and going to keep just about all sorts of weather out so you can get a disturbance-free sleep out at camp. The price point for this swag is relatively affordable given that you\u2019re getting an excellent build quality and some incredible features.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One nice perk of this swag is that you get in and out of it from the top rather than the side, which means you can slip in and out of it a whole lot easier than just about all the other models. There\u2019s no need to squat and roll into this swag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A second thing we\u2019d like to point out as a great perk is the eyelet which you\u2019re able to use for a ridge pole. This is perfect for those campsites that are far too rocky for guy ropes, so you\u2019re able to just pitch the swag and be done with things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To end, there are some excellent oversized mesh windows here, with the famous \u2018No-See-Um\u2019 material here for added privacy. These windows offer excellent ventilation on hot days and you can zip these up when things get a bit nippy or if any mozzies decide you\u2019d make a great dinner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 210 x 90 x 70 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 230gsm Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 50mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 PVC Vinyl<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Weight \u2014 around 6.3 kilos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Double Dome Swag by Mountview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To a swag with one of the higher GSM domes now, the Double Dome by Mountview is going to be a great option for those who need something durable and weatherproof.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Going along with this 400gsm dome, there\u2019s a 500gsm floor which means you\u2019re able to make use of this swag in the wettest climates and still be able to wake up dry as a bone in the morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Adding to the waterproof mechanisms, there\u2019s also a 10cm skirt around the base of the swag which works to keep water and dew from entering your sleeping zone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For long-term use, there are also UV-protected materials here, which ensure you\u2019re not going to see anything fading or issues appearing from sun damage after long or even short term use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For the security and comfort of the swag, we\u2019re happy to note that it\u2019s an entirely-closed model, which means you can shut out all the bugs. To ensure there\u2019s good ventilation though, there are plenty of small openings here, so overheating in the swag isn\u2019t too much of an issue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On top of this, the comfort of the mattress built into the swag is also incredible given that it\u2019s 6cm thick and you\u2019re able to sink down into it and be comfortable. We\u2019d also like to point out that being 6cm, the mattress even softens things like rocks and sticks without issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To end, there are aluminium poles used to keep this swag propped up, along with its guy roles and pegs which means in the windiest of situations, you\u2019ll be kept fixed to your swag and not see too much movement if any at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 90 x 206 x 79 cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 400gsm Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 60mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 500gsm PVC<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Double Camping Swag by <\/strong>Weisshorn<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To our final contender for the best swag in Australia, the double camping swag by Weisshorn is certainly worth considering given that it\u2019s enormous and tent-like, though it remains incredibly easy to set up and transport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019ll be able to rely on the dome here to keep you comfortable and safe in just about all weather, and there\u2019s plenty of mesh for anti-mosquito ventilation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n That in mind, this swag is going to be a winner for those in the warmer climates as well as the cooler ones, with the ventilation flaps allowed to be closed to keep things warm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There\u2019s a canvas here coming in at 400gsm which makes it an excellent option for those who are after quality waterproof materials and a swag that you can rely on to keep for years to come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The flooring in this swag is a 500gsm PVC material and comes with a skirt like the waterproof-specialised models on the list. That in mind, you\u2019re certainly able to use this swag in a tropical climate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To end, the price of this swag paired with its feature set makes this a top choice for us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some Essential Specs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Size \u2014 215 x 150cm<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Materials \u2014 400gsm Canvas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mattress \u2014 at 40mm thick<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Floor Materials \u2014 500gsm PVC<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Takeaway<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With all of those fantastic swags out of the way, it isn\u2019t too going to be too hard to find a model that works best for you this season. You\u2019ll be kept comfortable, warm and out of the weather no matter where you\u2019re camping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Be sure to keep in mind your style of camping, where you\u2019re located and whether you camp solo or with a partner before you get your heart set on a specific swag. You\u2019re going to want to choose a product that works best for you and doesn\u2019t create issues down the line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When you\u2019ve found a model, be sure to check warranties and qualities of materials and you\u2019re all good to go when it comes to getting the most out of your next camping trip in 2021.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to getting into the great outdoors this year, there are a few essentials you absolutely must invest in to keep comfortable, safe and to generally have an enjoyable time camping.
