I purchased your "big boy" swag and stretcher two years ago and since then I've travelled around Australia and spent roughly four months in your swag… Read more

and during that time I never had a single problem with it. It was always easy and quick to set up and always a comfortable sleep no matter the ground we were camping on.

I’ve used swags for many years and this swag is the best I’ve ever scene! Strongly made and very easy to erect. The accompanying stretcher is also… Read more

excellent. It is very strong and also easy to erect. I thoroughly recommend this product. For those in South Australia, it can be bought at Adventure Gear Australia at Blackwood Shopping Centre.

Extremely good value for the combo.

Almost there – Amazing swag , plenty of headspace vertically , great moon roof , strong , sturdy , easy set up and good price …. But loses so much feet and… Read more

headspace when 2 people are in there because of the cutting the swag corners on a 45 degree angle . Such a shame . I’m 180cm and I’m rubbing my head and feet on the canvas whilst sleeping in there with my partner . That makes you feel cramped . Make the base rectangle and it’s the perfect swag

Best swag I've owned – I've owned this swag for close to 10 years. Have dragged it on every 4wd trip I've done and carried it half way around Australia. It was always reliable and a great nights sleep. Tough as nails and simple and quick to setup.

Good quality and flexibility can join together to create one big bag. Good that you can remove the outer layer to create a good summer blanket

Great for lots scenarios sleeping in an urban outdoor environment – Being a homeless woman, my backpack swag gives me a chance to have an okay sleep even when it's raining, don't get bitten by mossies as much, and can… Read more

keep my important things like a journal in the interior. Massive thankyou. It's designed for getting out of a potentially bad situation quickly without packing up camp or loosing the few possessions you own.

Awesome Toasty Warm Sleeping Bag – Took this sleeping bag to the Snowy Mountains in cold and snowy weather and was completely warm. I used to take 2-3 layers of sleeping bag/blankets… Read more

whilst camping in cold weather but needed to economize on packing space so took the leap and purchased this cold weather sleeping bag. I was not disappointed at all. Packs up really compact, is well designed and most importantly was toasty warm when it was in -4 Celsius weather near Thredbo.

Travel light and stay warm – Without exception one of the finest light weight bags I have ever used. I am a fanatical ultra light hiker and this bag has been used in the most horrible conditions with outstanding levels of comfort.  Show details

I first heard of Kulkyne swags when my daughter was using a Kulkyne Swag working on a cattle station in the far north east of South Australia, her… Read more

job required weeks out in cattle camp living out of her swag which was dumped into a ute every morning and got dirty and bounced around. Her Kulkyne never had a single problem with zips getting damaged, holes rubbed in the mesh or any abrasion of the canvas..it got a flogging for months!! her swag has done 14 years of hard work!! On the strength of her experience, I spoke to Brett and Mandy and purchased a Big boy swag and stretcher for bush work, I have used for inspection trips on the SA Dog Proof Fence which requires camping out in remote locations in the South Australian outback, other people have seen my Kulkyne Big Boy swags and also purchased the same, there have been another three (3) purchased from Kulkyne. These Kulkyne swags are well thought in their construction, durable materials and the swag stretcher combo works well and easy to set up even after a big day, (although some days we just chucked the swags out on the ground without the stretchers)...and very comfortable and rain proof. My swag is six tears old and still fault free...brilliant products. The Kulkyne swags are tough and great value for money, Brett, Mandy and their staff are brilliant to deal with and great folk....support the locals. A Kulkyne swag is "An old dog for a hard road, not a puppy for the footpath"!! I would have no hestitation recommending them to anyone. here's some pics from our last inspection trip north of the Gammon Ranges...there were three Kulkyne swags on that trip.

Best piece of gear for wherever you may find yourself! – I have owned one of these tent cot's for many years now. We arrive at the location, be it day or night and within minutes I am set up and ready … Read more

whilst my friends are still trying to locate their pegs!

Lightweight, super strong (I'm 110kg) and comfy.

Survived in all sorts of weather. Was in remote Mid-West of WA when we had 3 days of savage thunderstorms/rain.

No issues at all.

One of the benefits of these Tent Cots are that you can relocate it with ease.

Don't like the view, your buddy snores too much or those drop bears are giving you grief…

Just pick it up and move.

Plenty of room inside to sit up and put your clothes on, hook up a LED light inside and handy overhead pocket to place all your gear in for easy reach.

It's off the ground so the snakes just slide by to your mates swag next door!

On those balmy nights, roll up the side flaps to get the breeze and gaze at the stars whilst being protected by the Ceratopogonidae (Midge) proof mesh (yes it does work, no bities at all).

Do yourself a favour and check these out at your local camping store.

Badly made - leaks around valves – Bought two of these mats for our tent. About the third time of using them noticed that they were not holding air. One of the selling points was… Read more

that they have four valves to let in air. This is unecessary and is the main week point. The bonding of the wall to the valves is badly done and the walls just pulls out from the valves allowing air to leak out when inflated or air to leak in when they are rolled up. This has occured with several of the four valves on each mat. Whilst each mat was supplied with a repair kit to fix a punture, but this repair kit is no use to fix the defective bonding of the valves. Not sure if I got two from a defective batch, but I would not recommend buying these mats.

Avoid if you care about deflation...or good customer care – Wait for the updated version. The current version (Apr 2024) has dodgy valving. It is fine to inflate, but to deflate you need to remove the valve,… Read more

spin it around and attempt to click it back in place. This is not what the instruction say, nor is it easy to do. I assumed the valve had been built incorrectly as it only let air in, not out. It is supposed to do the reverse. I took it back to the store for a refund. It was then the attendant told me that lots of people have complained about the same issue, but that it is a "Chinglish" thing (his words not mine). He then showed me how we are supposed to remove the valve and attempt to click it back in reversed. This is not easy to do. It took me many attempts and sore fingers to get it done....and that was on a shop floor, not in a small tent. When I told him I would not have purchased the mat had I known this, and that it is not as advertised, his response was along the lines of "its advertised as a sleeping mat and you can sleep on it, so you have no case to make". I suggested this was against Australian Consumer Law, his response was essentially, "good luck with that, many have tried before". Terrible customer service Anaconda. You know you have made a bad product that doesn't match the instructions or the advertisement. Rather than pedaling faulty products, how about you simply get a new batch of valves made to replace the faulty ones. It would cost you a lot less than the loss of subsequent business you'll get from everyone you've disappointed. The mat itself is very comfortable, you just can't easily deflate it.

Not recommended. Leaked after first few usage – Developed a leak after first use. Tried to patch the leak according to instructions and leak repair kit provided but still no help. For the price of this product I am expecting better quality.

Maybe we got a bad batch but 3 out of 3 did not inflate, and the valve on them is a st^pid design that does not allow you to use any kind of pump.… Read more

Trying to add breaths was useless. I tried everything they say to do with these mats - rolling and unrolling, giving them a few days etc. But on the first night I was in pain very quickly. It’s the same as sleeping on the ground.

Light and priced, but middling comfort and so noisy! – Note: this review is the for the Insulated version circa 2018/2019. The Good: * It's quite affordable - half the cost of a typical Thermarest, and… Read more

cheaper than equivalent Expeds. * Warm enough for three-season use in most areas, without being too warm. * Inflates fast, good valve setup. * Reasonably light and rolls up to a compact bundle.

The Bad: * Pad thickness is noticeably less than the typical ~70mm of other inflatable pads, and the waffle air cells just aren't as comfortable as linear baffles. Especially if you're a side sleeper. * The squeaking and noise of moving about/rolling on the mat will likely drive you insane. It'll definitely drive your tent or hut companions or anyone else within earshot insane. Original versions of the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite were heavily criticised for the "crinkling" noise they made. Having owned/used both, the Sea To Summit UL mats are far worse.

Bottom Line: It's a decent enough mat but the noise pretty much ruined any chance of decent sleep on a six-day trip. It was promptly returned and exchanged for the equivalent spec Exped which still serves me well to this day. I'm told Sea To Summit have since improved the design and made both the sleeping surface and interior insulation system quieter, but can't vouch for this.

Loved it – This swag was brilliant. Bought it from BCF at club price of $230. It was water proof and was extremely comfy. Plenty of room to move around inside… Read more

also. Only problem was it was still quite large to pack up but that's the drawback for a thick mattress I guess. The pegs were thick and strong, all the stitching and ropes were surprisingly good quality for the price you pay. Will definitely be buying another one. I lost the previous one after someone's camp fire got out of control. Extremely disappointed. On another note, I almost bought a kings swag on sale to replace it but after reading the reviews it looks like I dodged a bullet there.

Pretty Good – Had this swag for nigh on 6 years. Served well. Doesn't stand up to any decent rain but a good swag in terms of portability. Still going strong. Not… Read more

great for taller people (hence why I'm looking to upgrade). As per concerns about sagging, whilst it is noticeable, it doesn't really cause too much of a problem. Plenty of room inside.

Oz-Fail – My brother has a 15 year old version still great, but this is a shamble with shocking mattress and holes appearing faster than a pair of stockings. I've only used 3 times so far shall but will be interesting to see it in a year. Show details

Good enough – Mine was the black version with the silver (mylar?) coating. You can't get them any cheaper than this, probably because of transport costs, but this… Read more

certainly does the job. Most others don't even come with the mylar coating so I consider that a bonus. The thermal insulation itself comes from the foam cells being filled with air (air is a poor conductor of heat) so really, a cheap foam mat is all you need, no need for a fancy expensive brand unless you want a folding one or a durable air mattress.

Instantly noticeable increase in temperature the moment you lay upon on it. Not sure if it is water proof though, I don't know enough about foams yet. Some versions use a 'closed cell' foam type, which I am not sure if this has. I am not too keen on testing it out either

Perfect Traditional Swag – Really have enjoyed using this Swag! Purchased 3 months ago and used 4WD Camping extensively in WA. Must be a new brand as I haven't heard of… Read more

Moondyne before, though the Swag seems really well thought out and it also included a Carry Bag.

My previous Swag was an imported cheaper brand, which looked OK in the store, though was difficult to setup, with the pole ending up breaking. Decided with the amount of use I gave the Swag, it was time to upgrade to something better.

I purchased the King Single model and will be more than likely upgrading to a Dome style Moondyne Swag and giving this to the wife to use.

Would recommend to anyone! Well-made, Great Carry Bag, Good size Hard to find local stores that stock it to purchase another

Comfy and warm – Purchased the 0° and -3° range. Very large to fit in. The -3 was very warm, I actually got too hot. It has a lining you can take out as well if too hot. We used them in a tent with temperature only as low as 5° throughout the night.

High quality product – The Biker Swag is easy to set up and pack away. I was impressed with the quality right away. I have slept six days straight in this swag so far, and… Read more

I am a side sleeper, which can be problematic for a good night sleep. Hands down the best designed air mattress that I have ever slept on, no pressure points, and is equally as comfortable as my main bed. Thank you for your Biker Swag, I really appreciate it, and would recommend it to any other fellow bikers.
