Dune Outback Swag

Giddday folks, looking for a reasonably priced swag for my 9yo, that can either be a dome style or used with no poles on a stretcher in a tent. Has anyone got one of the Dune Outback swags? Currently priced at $199. Realise its not the very best, just after something to last till hes a teen. Cheers.

has he tried one before..? They arent for everyone - got my first one ever cheap by a bloke used it once and couldnt handle it

For first one I'd go the cheapy to see how he goes with it. you can always update later.

nah not tried one, and that's what I was thinking, hence the 200 and not the 500. cheers, still interested if anyone knows this particular model though. From what I can tell, the bugger is that the top needs to open fully from side to side if you want to use it without the poles like in a tent or inside a mates house, as I have seen a cpl that open either side of a central canvas strip that straps to a spreader bar between the head and toe hoops.

Or see if you can borrow one from a mate. I've lent plenty of camping gear over the years.

Great Advice,
Swags aren't for everyone.
I hope he enjoys it, cause it is a great way of camping.

Just to complete this thread, I actually ended up getting a Dune swag and it is going well so far, although he has only used half a dozen times. Main reason I went with this one was that it could have the top opened up completely so that it can still be used in a tent without poles
