Poncho SWAGMAN ROLL Climashield - Vert Alpha

Swagman Roll Climashield(R) Poncho - Alpha Green

Once upon a time , hunters, trekkers and even soldiers did not carry sleeping bags. They carried rolls of blankets. Until very recently, wool was the best material for blankets. Then, several decades ago, Nylon fabrics appeared. During the Vietnam War, a new blanket appeared - the Poncho Liner. Ultralight blanket that also serves as a warming liner for the rain poncho.
In Australian slang , 'swagman' means a travelling labourer. Something like an American cowboy or hunter, occasionally looking for work on the Frontier. The difference was that the Australian swagman travelled on foot and carried all his belongings in a roll of blankets.
With our Swagman Roll(R) , we salute these intrepid men, shivering on cold mornings in their damp blankets - but with our Swagman Roll(R), you never have to emulate that particular part of their lifestyle. It is made of thin Nylon fabric, filled with one of the best insulation materials ever dreamed of by mankind - Climashield(R) Apex(TM).
Swagman Roll(R) is no ordinary blanket. It is more of a multifunctional tool, applicable anywhere a warm covering is needed. You can use it as a poncho liner, an emergency sleeping bag, upgrade your regular sleeping bag with it, wrap yourself up as a blanket, line your hammock with it - or simply wear it as a long, warm standalone coat.
