Great product – First of all amazing service to order a new set of poles since I lost mine. Aus call center. And the swag has been perfect. No leaks inside the swag.
Sags like old tits and mattresses are nowhere near the size ofthe swag – Who needs a skylight when the stitching holes are still huge after soaking in a bath for 2 days x 3 times, sides sag like an old womans hooters , absolute crap swag, and the mattresses, yes i was silly enough to buy the self inflating one as well, great for a swag 2/3 of the size, no where near fit the swag supplied. Get a Darche or something these are cheap for a reason ....

Hi Mia, Its cheap crap, it will sit in the shed as a reminder to buy quality gear, same as the crappy self inflating mattress that is 2/3rds the size of the swag. I have wasted enough time with this rubbish, im not wasting any more...
Backyard set up for a month - well seasoned and sealing products applied. Still leaks – Bought x 2 swags for my kids. Never used, but up for a month to season. Well soaked in the bath and dried. X 8 rain events since outside. Moved around my yard 5 times. Silicone spray; and wax to seams both inside and out. Each corner of the floor had holes. Sealed with sealer glue. I feel I can’t ‘season’ any better. When inspecting all main seams roof to floor there are 1-2 mm holes the entire sew line. Real life is much more clear than images below I took of holes. Really disappointing. Not sure what to try next. Thinking painting it with horse rug water proofing agent or plumbing silicone. Last resort will be tarp to cover. These extra products have already cost me extra plus many hours of time.

Terrible: Poor design and poorly put together – Seasoned 3 times only to return it immediately as it was leaking from the seams (and had holes in the PVC floor that ironically let the water back out). Replacement was no better, holes in the PVC floor again and the stitching was very poor so straight back for a refund! The design itself is limited, there is only one option for ventilation as realistically the wind doesn't come from above, therefore it would be particularly uncomfortable in warmer weather as the sides block any breeze. It's therefore best suited to cooler weather but it is useless for this purpose coming out of the factory with holes all over it and seams that leak. Whilst the returns process was relatively painless and customer service was excellent I can not recommend this product. Spend a small amount more elsewhere for better quality and functionality. If you were really tight on funds you could remedy these issues with gorilla tape and some wax for the seams but you will still have the ventilation issue for warmer temps.

Escape single swag. Good Swag - well priced – Adventure Kings - Escape Single Swag. Sold by 4wd Supercentre. I purchased the Kings single swag about 2 years ago, overall = good gear at a good price. I've used a couple of different brands over many years. You won't be disappointed with the Kings swag, there are pro's & con's with all gear. The good points are nicely made with a PVC waterproof base - a reasonable foam mattress - nice HD canvas - good mesh ( very important ! if want to keep the midge's out) - a great bag to put it in , well thought out - waterproof. Not bad points , but just a little thing they may of considered would be a window / vent at the foot end to improve ventilation & the main canvas cover uses Velcro to close it, a HD zip would of been better. But I paid about $150 for this swag ( very good value) , but I would of been just as happy paying a bit more for the extra vent / zip etc. But they are made to keep within a price range I guess. I've used mine on beach trips & every night for 3 weeks while doing a recent Cape York trip. Can't complain. TIP: when packing it up as you dismantle the poles slide them in the sewn in pole holder ( 3 x different lengths) then roll it up. When touring & unpacking to set up each night ( particularly if its dark) you won't be jigging around trying to sort which pole goes where. Saves 5 mins or so. Also like all canvas products , preshrink your swag - set it up & give it a light hose before use , this'll let the stitching shrink around all seams to improve the water proofing. Just another little tip: I'm 60 next year so getting in & out ( from ground level) is a challenge on the back etc some cold mornings. I set mine up on a single stretcher bed. This way 1/ your off the ground 2/ at a much "smoother" level getting in/out. 3/ you won't be packing a swag away with a damp or wet base. Any questions pls feel free to ask - happy touring.
