Product Description

Historically, trappers, trekkers, and soldiers relied on blanket rolls instead of modern sleeping bags. The concept of the poncho liner emerged during the Vietnam War, characterized as an ultra-lightweight blanket that functioned as both a warming liner and a rain poncho.

In Australian slang, the term 'swagman' refers to a traveling workman, akin to an American cowboy or a trapper, often in search of work at the frontier. Unlike the cowboys, the swagman traveled on foot, carrying all their belongings in a bedroll. In honor of these adventurous souls who shivered on cold mornings, we created the SWAGMAN ROLL. You can rely on this innovative product to avoid the discomfort they faced.

Constructed from lightweight nylon fabric and filled with Climashield Apex insulation—one of the best insulating materials ever conceived—the SWAGMAN ROLL promises warmth and comfort. Its design is ideal for various settings, including use as a poncho liner, an emergency sleeping bag, or an enhancement to your regular sleeping bag. You can also use it as a straightforward blanket, line your hammock, or wear it as a warm, standalone long coat.
