Aldi double swag @ $99.00 - any good?

I could tell you whether or not my wife, best mate and/or dog were any good, but I think I will pass on this one.

From what I can gather, some of the Aldi camping products are rebadged Oztrail.

I bought one when they were $149:(

Overall well made, poles have heatshrink over the fibreglass (reduces the chance of splitting or if they do split then at least they'll vaguely retain some structure), no-see-um mesh, adequate zips. Downsides are: mattress is only 3/4 length but reasonably supportive (thermarest over the top helps), carry bag is huge and no compression straps and on ours the end guy rope tag has been sewn so the guy rop goes over the pole at the foot-end rather than under it (I couldn't be bothered taking it backas it works fine anyway).

The canvas is proofed but I wet it down anyway. We'd ussually have a tarp strung up in any case. It was dry inside even after a good hosing but that doesn't prove that it will stay dry in solid rain (not a problem as we're in Victoria...)

For $99 it's a cheap way to find out if a swag suits your type of camping.
