Helikon-Tex® Swagman Roll® Climashield® poncho

The Swagman Roll poncho from the Polish company Helikon-Tex combines an ultra-light blanket with a personal rain protection device. In Australian slang, Swagman means a traveling worker. And these workers certainly didn't have it easy.

Brought into modern times

Such a poncho for Australian workers also served as an alternative to a sleeping bag, which didn't actually exist at that time. And the materials for ponchos weren't very advanced either. Fortunately, that has changed, and the Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll poncho has been brought into modern times, using advanced nylon as the main material, complemented by a highly effective Climashield Apex insulating layer.

Versatile insulation layer

The Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll poncho will come in handy whenever you need an insulation layer to keep warm in cold weather. You can wear it as a long and comfortable coat, use it as an emergency sleeping bag, as an accessory to enhance your existing sleeping bag, or as a blanket or insulation layer for a hammock. It's up to you.

Well-thought-out details

As is usual with Helikon-Tex products, the Swagman Roll poncho features well-thought-out details including high-quality Japanese YKK zippers and a padded hood. The poncho also includes an integral transport pocket and a front zippered pocket for storing documents and the like. Additionally, the poncho compatible with the USGI standard is non-absorbent and easy to transport.
