www.snowys.com.au/tracker-swa...
The Tracker Swag from AOS is the rugged, Australian made swag that will sleep you comfortably on your adventures for years to come.
This swag is made from heavy duty 14oz water and rotproofed poly-cotton canvas, with mesh panels at both the head and feet, with two pre-bent alloy poles that are easily zipped into the swag for a quick setup, and a 70mm mattress provides a sound night's sleep outdoors.
In this video, our gear expert Ben talks you through all the features of the Tracker Swag from AOS. He starts out by showing you the materials and construction of the King Single size, the mattress and poles, the other external features and whether you can fit your swag plus bedding inside the included bag.
He then compares it to the double size starting with the dimensions, shows you the ventilation and protection options, the awning and storage, how to create airflow at the foot of the swag, then crawls inside to show you what the interior looks like - so check it out above for all the details.

    Can vouch for the quality of these swags Ben, got one for my 18th birthday so had it 10 years. Still absolutely perfect condition only little faded. Even survived falling off the Ute on a gravel road about 5 years ago, not a mark on it. Mattress is still as comfortable as the first night I used it. Would buy another tomoro but I’m confident I’ll never have to. They’re a bit dearer but you’re supporting local australia manufacturing. You buy nice or buy twice!!

    This is great feedback thanks, C Henderson. You are right in that they are more expensive but for anyone using a swag regularly, spending a little more upfront means spending less in the long run. These are the swags I'd be investing in if I was in the market for something new. ~ Ben

    I recently bought and used one of these swags (The double) Great swag! But the ropes and biners are cheap and useless. I upgraded to some quality tie down ropes. You MUST upgrade the ropes as they do NOT hold enough tension in the real world. The mattress is not that comfortable unless you're elephants twist. It also wont compress so I changed it for a Darche 1100 self inflator. Rolled up the swag is now half the size from stock and very comfortable. The bottom corners are prone to wear with the poles pushing down on the canvas to the ground so I sprayed some clear plasti dip on the corners to give a replaceable wear protection between the canvas pressure points and the ground. Other than that, I'm very happy and it's well worth the premium. I also can recommend the AOL HD optional swag bag/ 3 quarter underlay if your throwing this on the roof or the back of the ute PS: I can see myself cutting those stupid bottle openers off and replace with proper D rings

    Thanks for your feedback, Aussie Cue. I've not slept in these but I thought this foam felt much firmer than most swag mats. A self inflating mat is a great upgrade though as it will provide more comfort and a smaller packed size. Regarding the ropes I actually found the rope sliders to be tied on in the wrong manner so they didn't hold tension, and they worked fine once adjusted. Definitely not the thickest of guy ropes though, so this could be a cheap upgrade. ~ Ben

    Whats the ventilation like?

    Ventilation is good even with canvas fully zipped up. Some breeze comes through between the hood so no dramas in warmer weather. Zero condensation inside on cold nights too mate.

    From my perspective ventilation looks to be excellent, Owen, with mesh options all round the swag. C Henderson is in a better position to me to answer this question though as they have obviously slept in the swag, and their feedback suggests there is no problems. ~ Ben
