Dome Swag - Want a new one.
Gday all, just wanting to know what Dome Swags others are running out there for when you head outdoors. I have an old AOS Tracker(not dome) that i bought in 1996 that has served me well but alas i am now getting to the point that i want the comforts of a dome swag that has hoops to keep it off me at night, and presumably helps the rain run off it better.
I know that the new dome style AOS Tracker would be the equivalent of my old one but at $529, i cant justify paying that much where i could get two cheaper ones for almost the same price.
A few that i have been looking at on different online sellers that are all roughly the same in design and in price are:
Darche superdome Single $309
Sahara Roamer Deluxe Single $185 (on special usually around $300)
Onland Jardine Super Deluxe King Single $309
Oztrail Mitchell Single $325
Moondyne Nimbus King Single(cheaper version of AOS Tracker) $389
Jolly Swagman Shiralee XL $425
Anyone had any experience with any of these Swags or have recommendations of an alternative i havent yet seen?
Not looking at getting one customs made as i would rather just buy a premade one.
Thanks, Buz.

Agree
i've got an OZTRAIL Mitchell too and it's great. Keeps me dry and toasty so it does the job for me
They're regularly on sale for @$200 so they're a great cheaper option.

Oztrail for me
I have the Oztrail Mitchell also and it's a great swag. Ask my dog! He loves it. I also purchased a Coleman cross leg stretcher for about $90. That keeps me off the ground and comfortable. Also easier for an old fart like me to get out of
. I bought some larger tent pegs so I can stretch the swag out a lot more. That keeps it elevated and helps with run-off if it rains. I agree with above comments about the need for an extra piece of matting for comfort.
