Looking at swags.

That was my short list.

I know not exactly what you were asking but...

In the end I went with a Kylkine Swag which looks to be the same as the Travelander.

They are about $50 to $100 less expensive, they have seem to have specials and I wanted a slightly smaller one than Travelander offered because of the space they take when folded.

Kylkine Swags

Not sure about the Swags specifically, but I have read ( but not personally experienced) bad after sales reports on Travelander.

I have nothing but fantastic experience with Kylkine, they gave me a new version of a pole just because I asked for it to match my newer swag. I was prepared to pay but they insisted..

Hi Mattd

We have 2 double swags and both Aussie made.

The first one is still like new and been used all through our great deserts, but was the traditional open swag and has been used for over 20 years, and it was made in Adelaide.


Around 3 years ago we upgraded to a Southern Cross enclosed double, and have to say it is just brilliant, and made over in Victoria. They are not cheap, but the quality is second to none. It is very quick and easy to set up and as much as I loved our original double, this one is the best by far.

What ever you do, make sure it is a quality Aussie made swag with Aussie canvas.




Cheers

hi mattd,
I have a southern cross tent and swag. the tent I purchased back in 1989 and the swag I have had for well over ten years and neither of them has leaked one drop of water in all that time. it was commented in one the other replies that they are expensive but I think you would agree for the length of time I have had them they have been great value for money.

Hi Matt,

I have a Southern Cross Swag and a Burke and Wills. Both single. Southern Cross Swag is great as it has heaps of room inside and is very well made. Can't comment on the Travelander.

I had to bite down hard when buying the Southern Cross as it wasn't cheap but is excellent value for money if that makes sense?

Burke and Wills also fantastic and I have used both travelling extensively. From places as varied as Vic High country (Cold!!) to Cape York and the Kimberley.

Good quality swag of any brand keeps you nice and warm in cold climates and cool in warm climates. Cheaper swags that are made of thinner/lighter material don't seem to have as good thermal properties.

Good luck!
