G'day Brad,

Both swags are on par,  both with performance, longevity, and manufacturing/materials quality.
Outside of individual preference with the overall design and appearance, there is little else to use to determine one over the other.
Darche has slightly higher grade canvas, but thinner composite poles and less room in the bottom half which accounts for the lighter weight overall.  The ventilation widows on the foot end close via velcro.
23Zero has a lower grade canvas and no 'official' waterhead rating (although both swags are waterproof) but has more internal room, aluminium poles, and 4 fully functional zipped mesh & canvas doors - hence its higher weight.
Both brands have a great reputation and offer the same warranty period.

There's no real way of saying which one better I'm sorry, although based on unanimous feedback allround we're sure you'll be happy which ever way you go.

G'day David,

The Crashpad sleeping bag is fairly similar to the Darche sleeping bags.
Generally you can still roll everything up and fit it back into the swag bag, but you'll need to be mindful to roll it up well and tight.

Hi Drew, I don't have one on dispaly that I can check for you sorry, but going by the models that we have meaured these seem to consitently be slightly less that what you may assume the width is going by the name. I would say that this will be about 100 - 105cm wide internally.

G'day Drew,

The consideration to make between the two swag models is the hoop sections and access.
Alot of people opt for the Dual because it's nice and easy to get in and out of, and will give you a bit more ventilation if you want to completely roll up both sides on hot or humid nights.

Just consider that the swagger is a tent, not a swag, so you'll need to have your mattress and bedding packed separately.

G'day Aaron,

The footprint of this swag is 215L x 110W cm, so you'd be looking at something close to these dimensions which may require folding up a larger one to suit.
Alternatively, if you want more than just the footprint, you need to measure how much space you would like covered by the ground sheet.  As this is a personal preference, there's no particular size, and will vary from person to person.  Once you know how much space you want covered, you just look for a groundsheet that matches that as closely as possible.
The Oztrail Ultramesh is a good place to start.

G'day Jason,

That is impossible to say sorry mate, depends on how tall your torso is, not your overall height.
We've got the max head height listed in the specifications - 85cm.  I'd recommend sitting with your back against a wall and marking your head height, then comparing that.

G'day Brendan,

The 'head end' entrance is 90cm wide x 60cm high.  The walls are slightly sloped, so even though its only 60cm high the opening seems a bit bigger than that.  It's a pretty popular tent & people generally don't have too many issues. You'll be better off being on a stretcher, I'd say that would make it a bit easier for you.

G'day Ben,

I'd say any self inflating mattress of up to 10cm should still be able to roll up inside your swag and still fit in the swag bag.
The best bet would be to choose one that fills as much of the swag space as possible so you don't have big gaps of floor.
Even in the King Single mattress option you're unlikely to find anything bigger than around 80cm, and the double options are far too wide, around 130cm.
The only bang-on size option would be the Darche All Terrain 1100, but that has mixed reviews on performance and comfort, so I would recommend trying one out before you commit if possible.

G'day Nathan,

I don't think it matters either way, as long as there's no uneven tension of pressure of any on the canvas or mesh there wont be any issues.
Our kids all pack their swags up differently and there doesn't seem to be any pros or cons to either option.
If you don't have a swag bag, might be better to leave the zips up so dirt/dust/shed critters like spiders can get into the actual inside of your swag, but other than that, whatever works for you!

G'day J,

This size is essentially a king single, and definitely not a double.
1100 refers to 1.1m or 110cm width, so you can mark that out with masking tape on the floor and lay down with a buddy to have an idea of space.
For reference the standard single is 90cm wide, so only 20cm less than this.
It's not to say that you couldn't have 2 people in there, it would just be a matter of being prepared to ultimately sleep on top of each other!
If you're after a couples swag, look for the 1400 or any 'double' options.

G'day Paul,

No, there is not an internal hook however there is a small ring stitched into the seam above the head that would accommodate a small hook for a lantern.

G'day Paul,

The carry bag is fairly spacious so it will generally be able to fit the swag and an Alaska bag as long as you get a good tight start to your roll.

G'day Darren,

I've checked the swag bag and can see no evidence of a pole bag. Most swag poles are generally rolled up with the swag.

G'day Francois,

There are a few stretchers that will fit the Bandit 1100 on top, however with all of them you'll end up with up to 5cm of swag overhang on either side of the stretcher. The 23Zero Husky 100, Darhce XL100 and Oztent RS-1 Stretcher are all popular models for this swag.

G'dat Francois,

Yes, the Bandit 1100 Swag comes with a bag, you can see an image of the bag on our product listing.

G'day John,

You'll need to remove and pack down the poles before rolling the Bandit Swag up.

G'day Jeremy,

23Zero is an Australian owned company, they manufacture in China.

G'day Rob,

Unfortunately, the 23Zero swags don't use ripstop canvas. 23Zero use 400 gsm proofed plain weave poly/cotton 65/35 canvas, which has bit of a ripstop style appearance, but isn't technically ripstop.

G'day Richard,

I've just double-checked our display model and the external window flap can only be zipped from the outside. On the inside of the swag there is a two-layer window with a canvas internal flap and mesh external flap. so you can zip this canvas flap from the inside. 

G'day Lee,

The Bandit 1100 Swag will fit on the RS-1S King Single Stretcher however the Stretcher is slightly narrower than the swag so you'll end up with a little bit of overhang with ends of the poles. However, the actual swag mattress and footprint should fit on this stretcher nicely.

G'day Peter, 

Correct! The 23Zero Bandit Swags have both head and foot gusseted windows with mesh and canvas blinds, giving you the option for end-to-end ventilation.
