Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll Military Poncho - Multi-purpose Poncho & Emergency Poncho

The SWAGMAN ROLL is a multipurpose item that can be used in various ways: as an emergency jacket, sleeping bag or sleeping bag liner, blanket, hammock liner (quilt), and more.

In the past, trappers, trekkers, and even soldiers did not carry sleeping bags; instead, they carried 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.

The term "swagman" in Australian slang refers to a travelling workman, similar to an American cowboy or trapper, who often sought work at the frontier. The distinction was that the Australian swagman travelled on foot, carrying all his belongings in a bed roll. The SWAGMAN ROLL pays tribute to these intrepid men, providing a solution that will keep you warm without the need to emulate their chilly mornings.

Crafted with thin Nylon fabric and filled with the Climashield Apex, one of the best insulating materials available, the SWAGMAN ROLL offers superior design and performance. It is breathable, lightweight, and dries quickly, ensuring your comfort in a variety of environments.
