Helikon-Tex SWAGMAN ROLL Poncho

Once upon a time, the trappers, the trekkers, and even the soldiers did not carry sleeping bags. They carried blanket rolls. Up until very recently, wool was the best blanket material. Then, still, several decades ago, Nylon fabrics came into being. During the Vietnam War, there appeared a new blanket – the Poncho Liner. Ultra-lightweight blanket doubling as warming liner for a rain-protection poncho.

In Australian slang, ‘swagman’ means a traveling workman. Something like an American cowboy or a trapper, occasionally on the lookout for work on the Frontier. The difference was, the Australian swagman traveling on foot, and carried all his belongings in a bedroll. With our Swagman Roll® we salute these intrepid men, trembling on chilly mornings in their moist blankets – but with our Swagman Roll® you’ll never have to emulate that particular part of their lifestyle. It is made of thin Nylon fabric, filled with one of the best insulating materials mankind ever dreamed of – the Climashield® Apex™.

Swagman Roll® is not your ordinary blanket. It is more of a multifunction tool, applicable wherever a warm cover is required. You can use it as a poncho liner, emergency sleeping bag, enhance your regular sleeping bag with it, wrap it as if it was a blanket, line your hammock with it – or just wear it as a stand-alone long, warm coat.

      Swagman roll

      Merchandise met my expectations of quality and serviceability. I haven't as of yet had chance to use it outdoors. I do like the versatility of having one item that can do the job of 3..

      Worth every penny!

      Been wanting one of these for a while now. Seen that the Coyote colored one was on sale and bite the bullet and spent the money on it. When it arrived I was pleased to find out that the color was much better looking and adaptable than it looks online. Would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great outdoor product. Self Reliance Outfitters never disappoints.
