  • At its essence, the OZTENT brand is about the experience. Swags are prolific and ubiquitous to regional Australia, but they have changed very little over time and provide minimal comfort to users. So, we set about creating a new type of swag. One that would deliver a great experience to campers and truly solve some basic problems for workers in the bush that have previously been ignored. Like all OZTENT products this range had to be a high quality, reliable, easy to use and unique offering that delivered a better experience at every level.

  • OZTENT DS-2 Pitch Black Tech™ Double Dome Swag allows people to share the experience of the Australian bush and our vast star lit skies, while also achieving better sleep. OZTENT's Pitch Black Tech™ - keeping 95% of sunlight out of the swag - combined with a focus on ventilation and airflow means the user[s] can have a deep, comfortable sleep, free of light and condensation at any time. While No-See-Um mesh sky-screens allows them to star-gaze all night, free of bites and bugs. Top and side access adds to ease and reduces partner disturbance.

  • Social: Given that many remote and rural workers rotate shifts and locations regularly; compact, easily transportable accommodation that facilitate comfortable, sound and deep sleep during bright hot or cold days is significant. It improves quality of life and enhances workplace safety, alertness and responsiveness. Commercial: These are the first conventional swag developed by OZTENT. Given previous success of OZTENT 1 and 2 person tents, and the benefits of these product over competitors, increased profitability and growth in market share [value and volume] is anticipated. Environmental: A smaller product footprint results in a smaller impact in nature.

  • ENTRANCE AWNING - front flap of swag opens and can be attached to poles to provide additional coverage and shade. CROSS-VENTING - for air circulation, comfort and condensation reduction. LARGE FRONT VESTIBULE - additional room to store and protect gear from the elements. COLOUR CODED ANODISED ALUMINIUM FRAME - light, durable, simple colour guided construction.
