I asked a question about swags a few weeks ago and got recommended the Oztrail
Mitchell Swag.
I've since come across the
Biker Swag made by Oztrail. It appeals to me as it's a lot smaller, lighter and therefore easier to pack.
Main differences between the Biker and the
Mitchell that I can see are:
-only 2 poles for the Biker
-Biker is 10cm shorter, 15cm thinner than
Mitchell
-Biker has PVC base compared to
Mitchell
-Anything else I missed?
Has anyone got any comments about how much these differences will make to me if I got the Biker over the
Mitchell? I've never owned a swag before so I'm not sure how noticeable these differences will be.

Thanks for those thoughts.
I guess a compromise between the two is the
Oztrail Simpson.
This is the same weight as the Biker swag, midway size in terms of size between the
Mitchell and Biker and has the same mattress as the
Mitchell.
The only thing is that this one is a tent style swag without a flyscreen-I've heard these can get quite warm and uncomfortable in warmer temperatures.
Any comments on this?

Gday,
Its quite simple really..........
The more you put into it, the more comfortable and homely it is....the harder it is to pack.
The less you put in it, the less comfortable and homely it is.....the easier it is to pack.
What comprimisers you make is up to you?
Cheers
