Great video and very professional because you covered everything i wanted to know. I'm sold on it. I hope your channel grows and you do more reviews. Thank you 😊 Hope to see you out there
Best review of all the reviews I've seen on this swag. I've watched around 11 now but yours was the best of em. I've come back to write this comment plus hope to help others who might go looking elsewhere for info, don't it's not needed, he covers it (bar cost, only a few did). After about 3-4 hours digging, reading and watching clips I’ve doubled back to check some info and see if it's all correct to what other YT channel reviews have reported. The answer is yes, and more. The main thing I came back for was to reassure myself on seam seal tape (which Out N About mentions, others don't, more below). @OutNAboutAustralia was the only reviewer to mention seal tape (that I saw). Thumbs up and thank you! Swag companies don't often seem to mention it but maneuver around with things like a proofed kind of weave, rip deterred and some sort of coating (more in the video by Off Track). Coated? Canvas? Seal tape? After buying a swag is where lessons come, please seasoned professionals chime in here! This swag seems to be pretty waterproofed without internal drips, however, Perth 4WD and Camping has a clip where he mentions condensation but he did setup during rain which was on and off. I note in the reviews I watched (specifically Off Track) coating of swags can be misleading, you want to look for “coated” (didn’t know this but he found 23Zero is coated but Darche doesn’t appear to mention if theirs is or not). OutNAbout specifically mentions that this single swag does have complete rain covers and waterproof tape sealing which I confirmed on the Vicoffroad website. For those who want some extra info, a previous competitor in the air swag market has been the Dometic Pico, reviews said price comparison plus quality have the San Hima as an updated unit, making it a much better selection. I’m not here being paid to comment, I’ve just been doing research this evening and taking notes as I go and the above is what I found. I've no affiliation and not bought a new swag ever (I was gifted one (thankfully)). I've camped (in tents as well) but not a seasoned professional, hence why I want to do research before splashing cash. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on a double. Anyways, time for me to stop rambling, and before I go, @OutNAboutAustralia great video review! I found it funny as you spoke about the pressure release valve it seemed you had some restriction issues with a fly or something in your mouth, incredible timing mate 😛 Cheers for a great review bloke 🤙 PS. How is it going all these months on? Have you used it again or in Winter yet?
Thanks so much for the comment and amazing feedback mate. I really appreciate it and am so glad I could give you a good idea of the swag. It's going well so far, I've just taken it out on a few winter trips that have shown a few minor concerns (related to negative temperatures) but the swag itself has held up great! So glad you got some value out of the review mate.
Hey mate like everyone's already mentioned it's a great review best by far on this product. I'm nearly convinced but have noted you've found some issuesand willbe reviewing these so I'll wait and see what you've found. Question I have is about the stretcher- is it wide enough to take the swag without the exposed sections of stretcher frame causing damage ? Idea of using stretcher so off the ground is the go for me. Cheers
Hey mate, thanks for the comment I appreciate it! The swag fits really well on the stretcher and I haven’t seen any damage from having it up there yet. The only issues I have are with the air mattress in winter time. Because it’s not insulated, it draws the heat out and gets very cold. Easy fix though by replacing the mattress with a self inflating one.
Yeah mate, still using it and going the goods. It's got a few issues I've found through winter that I'll be talking about in a video in a couple of weeks.
Hey mate, haven’t had it deflate on me yet. It does get really cold though if you don’t insulate underneath it. I’ve just grabbed some foam matting from Anaconda and that seems to do the trick.
Great video and very professional because you covered everything i wanted to know. I'm sold on it. I hope your channel grows and you do more reviews. Thank you 😊

Hope to see you too.

Good bit of kit!
Definitely mate, loving it so far 👍🏽
Great Review mate. Love how it’s got access both sides unlike the Dometic air swag.
Thanks mate, appreciate that.
I didn't actually realise the Dometic is only 1 sided.
Fantastic review. That swag packs really small, the addition of the air mattress is a great idea. Can it fit in it's bag if a sleeping bag is left in?
Good question Philip, thanks for the comment.
I'll check this out for you when I take it out this weekend.

Will definitely go with this bit of kit .
Just bought one. Can’t wait to get the bloody thing, haven’t heard a bad word yet. Sure beats my old school envelope style swag 😂
Definitely mate haha
@@OutNAboutAustralia update. Got it. Love it. Your review was awesome and spot on. Cheers 🤙🏼
@didjhopkins4135 thanks mate. I appreciate it 🤙🏽
@@didjhopkins4135 Have ya used it for a few nights now mate and how she going?
Great looking swag
Sure is mate, been loving using it so far 🤙🏽
Who doesn't love a good Shifter hammer... lol gotta love it
Gotta use what’s on hand don’t ya 😂
Hey mate how has the swag held up? You still using it?
Yeah mate, still using it and going the goods.
It's got a few issues I've found through winter that I'll be talking about in a video in a couple of weeks.
Great review mate! I did want to ask about the air mattress. It's really my only concern with this swag. Does it deflate overnight?
Hey mate, haven’t had it deflate on me yet.
It does get really cold though if you don’t insulate underneath it.
I’ve just grabbed some foam matting from Anaconda and that seems to do the trick.
