Darche Dusk to Dawn Swag Review:

Setup:

As with most swags, set-up with the Dusk to Dawn is very easy and quick to set up. The structure is a fairly traditional swag design, consisting of two end hooped poles and one extendable spreader pole.

Weatherproofing:

The Dusk to Dawn swag is one of the more weatherproof swags available in Australia, a big plus for a swag at this price point. Materials are high quality and it has been designed with storm-proofing in mind.

Key weatherproofing features include:

* 420gsm proofed poly/cotton 16mm grid ripstop canvas
* Anodised 7001 alloy 8.5 Dia poles with hard wearing pole sleeves
* HF welded PVC bucket floor
* Heavy duty zipper with storm flap

Size:

One of our favourite features of this swag - it is very spacious with internal measurements of 2.15m (L) x 1.4m (W) x 0.81m (H). Packed weight is 15kg.

Features:

Darche products are always well thought-out and feature packed and the Dusk to Dawn swag is no exception.

Features of this swag include:

- Star gazing option with the option of rolling up both sides of the swag
- Superfine insect mesh
- Two large internal pockets
- Two large awnings with attached guy ropes
 
The 50mm hi-density cotton covered mattress is fitted but removable. In terms of comfort it is probably middle of the road, so if you’re looking for something a bit more luxurious you could look to upgrade the fitted mattress or simply add another foam or self inflating mattress. 
 

Also included is a high quality heavy duty canvas storage bag.

Conclusion:

An awesome all-around swag designed for Australian conditions. We’re comfortable in recommending this as our number one pick for best swags in Australia.
