Best Swags Australia
23Zero Bandit Swag 900

Our Pick
In my opinion, the 23Zero Bandit 900 is the best 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 straight out of the box (no seasoning required).
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.
14kg is pretty heavy to carry by yourself, so make sure that you park as close to your campsite as possible.
It comes in 900, 1100 and 1400 sizes.
XTM 4x4 Single Swag

Best Budget Swag
If you’re on a tight budget but still need a decent swag to get you through your next trip, look no further than the XTM 4x4 single swag!
This is a surprisingly solid piece of kit that gets the job done for a very low price. It’s made from 400 GSM canvas and is sized similarly to the other swags on this list.
It’s got decent quality seams, has plenty of internal pockets to help you organise your gear at night, plus it packs down to a very small volume, so it won’t hog the whole boot!
The included 50mm mattress is alright, but not as good as some of the other, thicker mattresses, such as the 23Zero Bandit one.
The 65cm head height is also quite low and a bit of a disappointment. It makes the swag feel quite claustrophobic.
If this doesn’t bother you, then the XTM 4x4 swag is definitely a solid option at a very low price.
