Product Description: In the past, trappers, trekkers, and even soldiers did not carry sleeping bags; instead, they relied on blanket rolls. During the Vietnam War, a new type of blanket emerged - the Poncho Liner. This ultra-lightweight blanket served as both a warming liner and a rain poncho.

In Australian slang, the term "swagman" refers to a travelling workman, akin to an American cowboy or trapper, occasionally seeking employment at the frontier. The distinction was that the Australian swagman travelled on foot, carrying all their belongings in a bed roll. We salute these intrepid individuals who braved the chilly mornings.

With our SWAGMAN ROLL, you'll never have to experience that part of their lifestyle. Ours is made of thin Nylon fabric, filled with one of the best insulating materials ever created - Climashield Apex. This versatile product can be used as a Poncho Liner, Summer Sleeping Bag, Universal Blanket, or Hammock Underquilt, providing the best design and performance.
