Faster than ever, swags have taken over campsites all across the country, being fully self-contained, and including a mattress, the heavy canvas construction makes the range from Adventure Kings one of the go to camping setups for escaping the daily grind on your next weekend escape!

With many festivals, musters and motor racing events across Australia, one of the best ways to enjoy the weekend is to camp right there at the festival, this means you can live in the festival atmosphere and make friends with others with similar interests and mindsets, but if you have ever tried to set up your festival equipment on a budget, you know that you either have to sacrifice some comfort, or fork out extra hard earned dollars!

So, here is why you will have probably noticed more and more swags in the camping paddock at your favourite festivals. Starting off a true swag is incredibly easy to set up when you get to camp, this is due to swags being basically self-contained.

When you release the straps of your swag for your camping setup, you simply unroll the swag, assemble the poles, and your camp is practically fully setup, generally a swag will have plenty of room inside to store your mattress and sleeping bag rolled up inside, and because everything is already in place inside your swag roll you only have one thing to pack.

But what if It rains? Canvas may be an old fashioned fabric, but it certainly does the job when it comes to holding the weather off, whether we are talking about rain, wind, snow, and even hail, a properly set up swag is one of the most weather proof ways to sleep at camp.

Canvas is made from woven cotton fibers, whilst cotton is known to absorb moisture, it would seem an unnatural choice for a waterproof material, but here is where the clever fabric takes advantage of nano science, because of the tight weave of the canvas fabric when it gets damp by rain or other moisture the cotton fibers do start to absorb the moisture which in turn makes the fibers swell up. These swelling fibers lock into one another extremely tightly and bind keeping water on one side well clear from passing the whole way through. This is also why a swag is the perfect choice for setting up in the weather, wind has a tendency to pass straight through thin synthetic fabrics and makes cheap tents lacking by both ruining their measly waterproof ratings as well as their flimsy structures.

 The Adventure Kings Range of Swags offer the toughest poly-cotton canvas, with heavy duty aluminium pre-curved extruded poles so that no matter what the weather is doing, you wont miss a wink of sleep!

Offering a handful of sizes of swag, there is an option for any festival and just about any budget.

Starting with the simplest in the range the Adventure Kings Kwiky Swag, this is the most compact and light weight swag in the range, weighing in at just 6.7kg including the mattress pegs and poles, It is really hard to go wrong with this small scale, big hitter!

Featuring a 50mm thick mattress the Kwiky swag is comfortable enough for a couple of nights in a row, and will keep you dry and comfortable, and if the weather is fine, the massive midge proof mesh lets you watch the stars as you fall asleep. Easily one of the best value swags on the market, offering all the creature comforts of much more expensive swags, the Kwiky Single is seriously FAST and LIGHT!

The next choice in the range is the Kings Deluxe Single Swag this is a new swag in the Adventure Kings Range of swags, and offers a comfortable 800mm head height, and a spacious 800mm width which is perfect for getting changed and those who toss and turn at night. Whilst still a budget conscious option, it includes a heavy-duty poly transit bag for easy transportation and an essentially free-standing design.

Based on our famous Big Daddy Deluxe the NEW Deluxe Single Swag has two end poles which hold the shape of the swag and a center ridge pole which keeps tension on the fabric and provides a fully adjustable setup!

Whilst changing the realms of what the definition of an affordable swag is the Big Daddy Swag and Big Daddy Deluxe Swag, absolutely changed the game. Offering two variations of Australia’s largest swag.

Measuring an impressive 1550mm wide 1000mm high and 2100mm long, this swag is cavernous, featuring ripstop 400GSM fabric with double stitched seams, and a deep PVC bucket floor for absolute waterproofing. This swag is one for the whole family, offered in many trim specs you can get yours with no mattress, the standard 50mm thick mattress, a plush 70mm thick mattress and even a 100mm thick self inflating mattress for the ultimate comfort on the tracks.

Whilst the numbers may not mean much to you, a clearer perspective would be that the mattress size inside a Big daddy deluxe is basically a Queen-sized mattress you would have at home, with 1m head height being enough to sit up and get changed.
