Military Poncho for Survival Gear - Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll

The SWAGMAN ROLL is a multipurpose item that can be used in various applications where a warm covering is required. Crafted with thin nylon fabric and filled with the highly insulative Climashield Apex material, this versatile product can function as a poncho liner, emergency sleeping bag, sleeping bag enhancer, blanket, hammock underquilt, or even a standalone long, warm coat.

Measuring 145 x 200 cm (57.04 x 78.74 in) and weighing 745 g (1.64 lb), the SWAGMAN ROLL is a lightweight and compact solution for outdoor enthusiasts. The Climashield Apex insulation provides excellent warmth without adding substantial bulk or weight, making it easy to transport and pack. Additionally, the fabric is quick-drying and features a DWR (durable water repellent) coating, ensuring the user stays dry and comfortable in varying weather conditions.

The SWAGMAN ROLL's versatility is further enhanced by its USGI poncho compatibility, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated with other military-style equipment. It can also be used as a liner to enhance the performance of a regular sleeping bag, providing an extra layer of warmth and insulation.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the SWAGMAN ROLL features a zippered front pocket for storage and a self-pack pocket for easy storage and transport. A warm hood adds an additional layer of comfort and protection, while the included carrying bag ensures the product can be neatly packed and stored when not in use.

The inspiration behind the SWAGMAN ROLL harks back to the days of the intrepid trappers, trekkers, and soldiers who would carry blanket rolls instead of dedicated sleeping bags. During the Vietnam War, the Poncho Liner emerged as an ultra-lightweight alternative, serving as both a warming liner and a rain poncho. The SWAGMAN ROLL pays homage to this legacy, offering a modern, high-performance solution for today's outdoor enthusiasts.

In Australian slang, the term "swagman" refers to a traveling workman, akin to an American cowboy or trapper, who would often carry all their belongings in a bed roll as they traversed the frontier on foot. The SWAGMAN ROLL is designed to provide the comfort and warmth that these hardy individuals would have craved on chilly mornings, without the need to emulate their rugged lifestyle.

Whether you're an adventure seeker, a camper, or someone who simply enjoys the great outdoors, the SWAGMAN ROLL is a versatile and reliable companion that can adapt to a wide range of needs and environments. Its exceptional design and performance make it a must-have item for any discerning outdoor enthusiast.
