The Swagman Roll combines the features of several products. It acts as a poncho liner but also serves as a summer sleeping bag or sleeping bag insert, a travel blanket, and an underquilt for hammocks. That's five basic functions, but it can be used in many more ways. Rooted in history, the Swagman Roll is a modern product. Instead of carrying five items, you can just bring this one, saving a significant amount of space in your backpack.
Worn as a poncho, the Swagman is spread out, but by zipping up the zipper sewn into its three edges, it transforms into a sleeping bag. Pull the drawstring at the head opening to seal the interior, and you're ready to sleep comfortably. In the morning, unzip it completely and wear the still-warm Swagman. This quick conversion from a poncho to a sleeping bag is practical not only in a tent but also during longer stops. In truly cold conditions, the Swagman Roll serves excellently as an insert for a thicker sleeping bag.
One of the Swagman's more interesting and less obvious uses is as an underquilt, providing an extra insulating layer for a hammock. Elastic bands on either side allow the poncho to be easily attached directly under the hammock, creating an insulating layer that shields the hammock's interior from the cold ground and air.
Fully unzipped and spread out on the grass, the Swagman also serves as a blanket. It's just as large but much lighter and takes up much less space when packed. Whether it's taken on a traditional bushcraft trip or a picnic in the park, its internal Climashield Apex® insulation will provide protection and thermal comfort. The interior of the tent becomes cozier too after being lined with our poncho.
