Oztent has a new double swag on the way and it’s a world first. It’s the only two-person swag that can be set up in less than 30 seconds and we can’t wait to get our hands on one to try it out.
Using Oztent’s innovative 30-second frame (which many of you know from their “marriage saver” 30-second tents), the new Oztent RS-2 Double Swag is indeed very fast to set up. We all know how unpleasant it is to roll into camp late and struggle in the dark or rain with a swag that takes way too long to set up.
“Customers have been asking us to create a completely new type of two-person swag”, explained Luke Eather, CEO of the Oztent Group. “A swag that is super-fast and will appeal to the partners of campers who don’t like conventional swags and prefer the comfort, coverage and ease of a tent instead.”
With that in mind, Oztent set to work creating a swag that:
- Is fast and easy to set up
- Has headroom (usually missing in a traditional swag)
- Provides exceptional protection from the sun and rain for people and their gear
- Features great airflow
- Will go the distance
The new Oztent swag is a great size and even boasts an awning
At 145cm in height, the Oztent RS-2 Double Swag really does seem to provide a heck of a lot more headroom than a standard swag. Large enough to sit up in even. You know what that means, don’t you? No more struggling to change clothes in your swag. With the other important dimensions coming in at 200cm (L) x 155cm (W), it’s certainly large enough to fit two people comfortably.
My favourite feature of the new Oztent swag so far? The attached awning. It appears to be large enough to sit under when the weather is grand. Also, I can see this being really handy in the rain as it will provide a dry entrance to the swag. After spending three weeks swag camping in Gippsland with the kids back in June, I know very well how annoying it is to crawl in with wet feet and damp clothes.
It’s all about the airflow
The new Oztent RS-2 Double Swag has a large double entrance and decent sized back windows to allow the air to flow through. This will also have the added bonus of reducing condensation inside the swag. All windows and doors have 65g No-See-Um mesh screens so even on the hottest day you’ll still be guaranteed a decent amount of privacy to sprawl out.
Designed to go the distance
Oztent products are made to last and this new double swag is no exception. Made of ModCan™ 300D ripstop polyester material, with a 350gsm heavy-duty, heat-sealed PVC tub floor, it is 100% waterproof. With UV +50 protection, we can assume it will hold up over time in Aussie conditions.
Both the ModCan™ material and mesh screens are certified CPAI-84 fire resistant and a quality aluminium frame means it should hold up in wilder weather.
This new Oztent swag will be the first swag up and the last one standing!
It’s already won a Good Design Award
This is what the judges of the Good Design Awards had to say about it:
“A first of its kind.”
“The Oztent team put considerable effort into ease and speed of setup.”
“This swag allows users to be closer to nature, connect with each other and the outdoors while minimising their impact on the environmental surrounds.”
