Double Swags

Both are double swags built for two people, but they are pitched at different levels of use. The Mitchell 1550 is the entry point into OZtrail's double swag range, built from 400GSM Ripstop polycotton canvas with a 440GSM PVC bucket floor and a 7cm high-density foam mattress. It is a solid, capable swag for camping trips and weekend outback runs where durable construction and easy setup matter most. The Sundowner 1550 steps up to 420GSM canvas, a heavier 600GSM PVC floor, near-vertical walls for significantly more internal headroom, built-in Lumos LED lighting, Climatech ventilation technology, and a 6-panel flexi storage system. If you are heading out on longer trips or want the most capable double swag in the range, the Sundowner 1550 is the one to choose.

OZtrail double swags come in two styles. Traditional swag tents feature a freestanding design with near-vertical walls, generous internal headroom, two full length mesh doors, and zippered openings at both ends, giving you more room to sit up, reach your gear, and move around without feeling cramped. Entry-level double swags keep things straightforward with heavy-duty canvas, a PVC bucket floor, a 7cm high-density foam mattress, and a compact pack size built for harsh Australian conditions. Both styles are built to handle whatever the great outdoors throws at you.

Camping swags come in single, and double size. An OZtrail double swag such as the Mitchell 1550 or Sundowner 1550 opens to around 2.1m long by 1.55m wide, which is wider than a standard queen-size mattress. That comfortably fits two adults, or gives a solo adventurer extra room to spread out with gear alongside them. Single swags by comparison are far more compact and built for one person, making the double the roomy choice for anyone who wants a bit more space at camp.

OZtrail double swags are engineered for the full spectrum of Australian conditions, from humid coastal camps to freezing high country nights. Seam-sealed ripstop polycotton canvas forms a breathable, water-resistant outer shell that handles wind, rain, and dust. The heavy-duty PVC bucket floor shuts moisture out from below, keeping your sleeping area dry even on damp mornings or after overnight rain. Full-length mesh doors and zippered windows at both ends allow genuine cross-flow ventilation to reduce condensation and keep things cool on warm nights.

Yes. A 7cm high-density foam mattress provides real support off the ground, sitting at the top of the typical 35mm to 70mm swag mattress range for genuinely comfortable sleep. A washable poly-cotton cover keeps the mattress hygienic across longer trips, and internal storage pockets keep phones, headlamps, and small gear within reach. Thick canvas swags also retain warmth better than a standard nylon tent, so you stay comfortable on cold outback nights.

OZtrail double swags use a freestanding design, so they hold their shape on their own without needing to be staked down to stand up. Pegging is optional rather than essential. We do recommend pegging out the swag and using the guy ropes for added stability when the wind picks up or you are camped somewhere exposed, but on calm nights the simple setup is as easy as unrolling it and zipping in.

OZtrail offers a range of swag accessories to complete your setup, including carry bags for easy transport and storage, awnings for shelter from the elements, and swag platforms to get you up off the ground. Pair your double swag with the rest of the OZtrail tent and shelter range to build out a full camp setup ready for your next adventure.

The main differences are sleeping capacity and pack size. A single swag is built for one adult, compact and lightweight, making it ideal for the solo adventurer who values speed and a small footprint. A double swag accommodates two adults or gives a solo camper extra room to spread out with gear alongside them. Double swags offer more room with near-vertical walls and sit-up headroom on premium models, though they come with a larger footprint and a little more weight. If you are travelling as a pair or want the extra room for longer trips, a double swag is the smarter investment.
