When you’re trying to pick out a swag from an overwhelming array of options, each possessing shinier new features than the next – sometimes the simplest swag is the best. That’s where the folks at Burke & Wills come in – their range of swags are unpretentious, durable and made to last.
If you usually find single swags too petite for your liking – the XL size will give you extra sleeping space without taking up too much room in the back of your car. The water and rot proof canvas will not only protect you from the elements, it’ll also keep you warm and toasty on cold nights. For warmer evenings, just roll down the canvas and let some air in through the sandfly proof mesh zippered panel on the front of the swag.
The large front entry features sand fly mesh for extra ventilation while the 75mm high-density foam mattress provides a solid base to sleep on. The Coolabah X Large Swag also features black hi-tensile alloy poles give this swag its structure, plus a waterproof boot bag for keeping your boots out of the elements.
The addition of an extra pole gives it that extra height and structure, so you won’t feel like the walls are closing in on you when you’re trying to doze off. With the Coolabah, you can jump in your car and head out into the horizon knowing you've got a comfortable and weatherproof place to rest.

Staff tip:It's best practise to season your swag a few times, even if it comes seam sealed, pre−seasoned, or waterproofed. For more info, check out our blog post below.
There's not a stretcher designed for the Coolabah X Large Swag, and being 115cm wide, it exceeds the widest stretchers we have in stock. You could possibly look at the Oztent RS-1 stretcher, or the Darche XL 100, but both of those are only around 100cm wide on the actual stretcher, meaning you'll have a reasonable overhang of swag. The other thing to consider is that the Coolabah is a top entry swag, meaning once it's up on a stretcher the entry point will be nearly a meter high.

Is this swag freestanding1 answer
Is this swag a freestanding swag or does it require you pegging it up
Flynn - Goolma(4 years ago)
G'day Flynn,
The Coolabah isn't a free-standing swag, the ends will need to be secured to stop the end poles from collapsing in toward the centre of the swag.

Will this Coolabah X large Swag come with a carry bag for when it’s stored.

G'day Nathan,
The Burke and Wills Coolabah swags don't come with a carry bag. They do have straps to hold it rolled up as well as a shoulder strap but if you're after more protection you'll need to look at an aftermarket bag like the Jolly Swagman King Single Swag Bag.
