Kulkyne - Mega Swags
$799.00
Regular price $499.00t first glance you might think there are others swags similar, but take a closer look! Here are the main differences:
-
Non-symetrical three pole system
Most three pole swags have the middle pole in the middle! Sounds logical right? The problem is these symetrical swags leave you little room to swing your legs in and out of the swag. Our pole system is split 62/38% meaning you have heaps of room to get in and out.
-
Storage shelf
Using our 62/38% split also allows us to building in a shelf over the foot end of this swag! This is great for putting your clothes on while you sleep. Carries up to 3kgs.
-
High side walls
Dome swags lose a lot of space due the the curvature of the dome poles. Our square poles mean that for a given footprint our MEGA SWAGS have heaps more internal space, so much so you can sit up in this swag and change your shirt!
-
Built in awning
The way we've designed the main entry door on this swag allows you to use it as a decent sized fly, and it's still easy to get in and out of the swag.
-
Stretcher ready
When you design the cut of a swag you do so for camping on the ground. This means when you place your swag on a stretcher, the pole postions change a little and the canvas doesn't sit right. Our King Single MEGA SWAG is designed to sit on and attach to our King Single Stretcher (950 wide) as well as on the ground, meaning the canvas sits right in both use cases.
The new MEGA SWAG range is made from the same high quality materials our Kulkyne range has been made from over the last thirteen years. Our King Single MEGA SWAG also features:

- Dual entry on both sides of the swag (one side has a larger entry than the other)

Q&A: King Single MEGA SWAG
Q: How much larger is the King Single MEGA Swag compared to the Darche Dirty Dee 900?
A: The middle pole set on the Dirty Dee 900 is about the same size as ours. The main difference is that the MEGA SWAG has an equal size head end pole whereas the Dirty Dee tapers down towards the head end of the swag. The King Single MEGA Swag is also 50mm wider than the Dirty Dee 900.
Q: Should I buy the XL King Single or King Single MEGA Swag?
A: This depends on a few things. First, because of the high walls of the MEGA SWAG there's plenty of room in either size. It's not like a dome swag where you need to buy a wider swag just to get a more spacious feel. Second, as the XL King Single is taller most guys are going to be able to sit up in the swag and get changed if that's important for you. The King Single has a little less head room so only shorter people will be able to do this in the King Single size. Third, if you're over 6'2" tall we'd recommend the XL King Single as its 15 cms longer than the King Single swag.
Q: How much longer does this swag take to set up over one of your dome swags?
A: You're setting up two poles instead of three so allow about 50% more time. However it's still a pretty quick set up as with our swags you don't need to feed poles through canvas, you just attach the clips! This makes all of our swags quick and easy to set up.
Q: Should I buy the Deluxe or Standard Mattress?
A: This depends on a few factors. If you're not over weight and sleeping on the ground, then the standard 70mm mattress is generally fine. If you're carrying a bit of weight and plan to use this swag on the ground, go for the 100mm Deluxe mattress as it will give you a much better nights sleep.
If you're using the MEGA Swag on a stretcher then things change. The stretcher adds a layer of comfort so you don't need extra foam ike on the ground. Which mattress option you go for on a stretcher really depends on whether you like a firm feel or soft feel. The 70mm mattress is better if you like a firm mattress and the 100mm Deluxe if you like a softer mattress.
