RE: Showcase-Sunday: Swagging

in OCD5 years ago

13 KG is pretty reasonable considering a mattress is built in. Tents are generally baking hot or f-ing freezing and so I'm wondering how this one seems to be good for all temps?

Sort:  

In summer both sides of the canvas rolls up leaving just the mesh sides which gives airflow meaning inside is at ambient temperature not heated through trapping the air. In winter the canvas (and small space nature of the swag) means one's body temperature provides a heating effect keeping the camper a little warmer. It also comes down to the quality of sleeping bag of course. I wouldn't want to be in a swag at much lower then zero and in the heat camping can suck, but in my experience with a decent swag itvisba little more tolerable than a flimsy nylon tent.

Fair enough. The mattress is decent enough?

I have been caught out with crappy sleeping bags before, not a fun night when you are wearing everything you have and still cold af :)

The mattress has to be able to roll on pack-down so it's not super thick although when in it I don't feel the ground so I'd have to say it's legit. I have a 0-degree sleeping bag so generally don't have issues with cold, besides it never really gets super-cold here I guess. Nothing worse than being cold when camping...Except maybe being cold and wet. (Been there, done that)
