Best Double Swags Australia
23Zero Bandit Swag 1400
Our Pick
This is it, folks! The 23Zero Bandit 1400 is, in my opinion, the best double swag in Australia. It is widely loved by swag users for it’s rock solid build quality that won’t let you down no matter the conditions.
It is constructed from thick 400 GSM canvas, but the really awesome part is that all of the seams in the swag are fully sealed from the inside. This means that the swag is fully waterproof even without seasoning.
Waterproofing can be a major headache for canvas swags and tents alike, so having this all sorted before you even buy it is a huge relief.
There’s 4 doors that also double as windows, plus 2 additional windows, 1 at each end of the swag. This makes access super easy and also means that you’ll have enough ventilation to keep you cool or prevent condensation buildup.
The 70mm mattress is nice and comfy. The whole thing is backed by 23Zero’s excellent 2 year warranty.
Just be aware that the swag is quite bulky when packed. Make sure that it fits comfortably in your car before locking in a purchase. Also bear in mind that 19kg is pretty heavy, so avoid parking far away from where you want to set up.
It comes in 900, 1100 and 1400 sizes (sleeping area width).
XTM 4x4 Double Swag
Best Budget Double Swag
If the 23Zero Bandit swags are out of your price range but you still need something decent, the XTM 4x4 double swag is a solid option.
It’s far cheaper than the other swags on this list (assuming you sign up for a free BCF membership) yet it is still built quite well.
The seams are solid, the waterproofing is decent and the swag on the whole feels good - not cheap or poorly made.
I would prefer it if the 50mm mattress was a little thicker and more comfortable, but it’s not terrible by any means.
It also has a head height of just 83cm, which is low but manageable.

Kings Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag
Runner Up
The Adventure Kings Big Daddy Deluxe is a decent bit of kit that is probably best for those who usually head away for a weekend or a couple of days at a time.
It is a large, spacious swag with a nice wide mattress and plenty of head space. The swag can be accessed from either side.
Like the 23Zero Bandit, it is made from 400 GSM canvas. However, there have been a number of complaints about the quality of the waterproofing on this swag. Many people have found that this swag readily leaks water at the first sign of rain.
This may well be a seasoning issue, however, as this swag does need to be seasoned properly before it will be waterproof. Check out this article on how to season your swag.
Otherwise, the fast setup and low price make this a very popular choice.
