- [Ben] Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here.
Today, behind me, I've got set up
the Coleman Instant Swagger 1P Tent.
It's on top of the optional stretcher here at the moment.
In this video though,
we're taking you through a walk-through
of all the features of the tent.
♪ Hit it. ♪
(upbeat music)
Swagger 1P is the lightweight alternative to a swag.
Features an instant up frame
and features that make it integrate
with the optionally available Instant Swagger Stretcher.

Now, let's jump in.
We're down here at the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park.
Overcast day,
nice little creek noise in the background there
for a bit of tranquillity.
Covering off on the boring bits first,
the tent behind me here,
the Swagger 1, weighs about seven kilos.
Comes in this storage bag here
which is about 110 centimetres long
by about 20 centimetres in height and depth.
And when it's set up,
the tent measures roughly 230 centimetres
in length, this way,
and about 160 centimetres in width.
Depending on how you set it up.
But it's about 160 centimetres
to the edge of the vestibule here.
And height wise,
with it on top of this optional stretcher,
this doesn't come included with the Swag 1.
This is an extra accessory.
It is designed to be integrated with this,
so it's the best set up with this
but I'm just talking about the tent on top today.
But if you do set it up with that stretcher
it's about 140 centimetres to the top here.
If you just set this up directly on the ground,
it's about a metre from the base of the tent
to the top here.
Fabrics is 150 Denier polyester
with a 1500 millimetre waterhead.
So nice and waterproof.
Doesn't have any dark coating on the back
or anything like that,
so you will get lights in in the mornings,
but it's gonna keep you nice and dry
and it's all weatherproofed.
Does have some mesh in it.
So in the windows here there is a mesh.
Not a super fine mesh,
but, look it does the job.
It's not a no-seam mesh.
I don't think that's gonna keep midges out.
That's the only issue with that.
But it's still gonna keep mosquitoes
and larger insects out.
(zipper pulls)
Bit of a walk around the outside here,
starting on this end,
that is a window there.
You've got guy ropes on the end.
The other important note to remember is
on the inner of this tent,
these guy ropes are mirrored on the inside.
So you can actually set just the inner of this tent up
without the need for the fly sheet
because you've got guy ropes for stability on the inner,
actually attached to the inner of the tent.
Moving around, you've got extra guy, peg points here.
If you peg all these out,
it gives extra protection around the edge of the tent
so you don't get water pouring in underneath
on the stretcher there.
You've got colour coded options on the fly sheet
so you can easily orient it.
At the rear here,
you've got this big vent that comes out and
that coincides with a vent
that we'll show you inside shortly.
But there's a zipper up under here
that allows for the circle ventilation.
So you've got venting on the side here
as well as that window at the end.
Round on the other end of the tent here.
Another window, same as the other end here.
You can set this up in multiple ways
as a weather protected awning,
zipped closed or roll it open completely,
to expose the little mesh triangle window
on the end there.
So you've got one of those at each end.
Now this tent does attach specifically,
or actually attach to the stretcher underneath.
So check out our set up video
for how these clips, or how this is attached here.
But there's four points
with which this is attached to the stretcher
and it's got extra guy ropes here as well.
So, you can actually peg it out
with consideration with this being set up on a stretcher.
Ideally, this is designed for use with the stretcher
but you can also just set it up on the ground.
As I mentioned, we've got a set up
and pack down video on all of that.
Check it out.
Coming round to the front of the tent here
where we've got the vestibule and the awning
and your multiple set ups here.
So, these poles are about 140 centimetres in length.
So this awning slopes up a little bit,
comes down to about 130 centimetres in head clearance here.
This awning comes about 85 centimetres out
from the edge of the inner tent here.
So you've got a good amount of space here
just to keep yourself dry,
if you're getting changed
or you wanna sit on the edge of the tent.
You can also zip this closed
to this section here
to create a weather protected vestibule.
And this comes out about 50 centimetres thereabouts,
depending on how you peg it out.
So you've got enough space to sort of put a bag
or something in here if you like.
On top of that,
you can just roll this awning up
against the top here.
So if you don't want this
either set up for shade or zipped closed,
just roll it up along the top here
and you can then use these doors
to keep it open at night for extra ventilation
if you like.
Moving towards the inner of the tent.
Firstly the floor.
Now this is a tarp type material,
so your regular tarp.
So, it's got a crinkly sort of feel
but it's a really durable material.
All these tarps are really durable,
weather-resistant material
and they're completely waterproof.
So that's gonna keep you nice and dry.
It's a bucket floor
that comes up about sort of 10 to 15 centimetres
on the side there.
So if you did have this set up on the ground
in wet weather,
that's still gonna keep you nice and dry.
Now the doors to the inner tent here is a double door,
so they can be secured by flaps here,
rolled to the sides.
You've got this zipped completely closed here at the moment.
(zipper pulls)
So if we wanted to have full weather protection
(zipper pulls)
we can zip that right up.
(zipper pulls)
Alternatively, this inner panel is adjustable
from the inside here,
(zipper pulls)
so you can unzip that
and just have the mesh panel open,
(zipper pulls)
if you like.
So you've got ventilation through the tent
that's gonna work with the windows at each end
and the vent at the rear.
(zipper pulls)
Now the inner fabric is also 150 denier polyester.
So this fabric here is 150 denier polyester.
So the fabric technically is waterproof,
same as the fly,
but the inner's not seam-sealed.
So this doesn't have a seam seal on it,
whereas the fly sheet does.
So this seam here is waterproof,
this one is not.
That means that the inner is gonna keep you dry
in a light shower,
but don't rely on it in heavy rain
to keep you dry inside.
I'd say if there's gonna be rain,
put the fly sheet on.
Moving inside the tent here,
because I've got this set up
on top of the optional stretcher.
Really comfortable just sitting inside the door here
underneath the awning.
Now, features inside,
before we go into our dimensions,
we have got down in the corner here,
this is a little weather-protected
entry point for power.
So you get 12 volt power,
or 240 volt power inside here for lighting
if we like.
Having a look,
if we move across the front of the tent here,
not much to see
but we do have a little lantern hanging hook
on the top here,
and that's secured to the pole
or the actual frame at the top there.
So you could hang a reasonable lantern on there.
If it's too big, obviously,
there's not a lot of space inside here,
so just a small USB rechargeable lantern
would be fine in there.
Across to the end here,
you can see we've got the vent
(zipper pulls)
or that window at the end there
with an internally adjustable vent.
So we can just zip that closed or open.
Probably just open it a little bit for ventilation.
And directly below that, a mesh pocket for storage.
Moving around to the rear of the tent,
this vent here,
which we can open and close from the inside,
that coincides with that large sort of circle vent
that we've pegged out at the rear there.
So we can open that for ventilation.
That doesn't have a little tab to secure it.
So you can just kind of tuck it in on itself there
to keep it out of the way.
And then around to the other end of the tent.
Pretty much a mirror of what we saw
at the first end that we looked at.
Door, sorry, window,
in with the internally adjustable flaps there.
You can't adjust the external window from the inside.
You have to get out to do that.
The window that's on the fly sheet.
And then below that,
another mesh pocket for storage as well.
Now in terms of dimensions, inside the tent here,
about 85 centimetres
from where you're sitting here, to the top.
Now because I'm sitting on the stretcher,
I've sunk down a little bit,
so I've got a little bit more clearance for my head here.
In terms of length,
210 centimetres in length,
and the ends are quite upright.
So there is quite a bit of space for your feet.
It doesn't slope back this way.
So you've got a good 210 centimetres of length to use here,
and about 90 centimetres in width.
Now, you could probably fit
a reasonable king size mattress in here.
But an air bed for example
you'd probably have to put it in here
and inflate it while it's inside
'cause you're probably not gonna be able
to squeeze it through a door here
while it's set up.
So I haven't got a mattress to put in here for you today.
But I will lie down in here,
I'll try not to get any mud inside the tent.
Just to give you an idea
of how much space there is.
Now I'm 185 centimetres.
If I lie down, I've got heaps of space.
My feet straight up at the end there.
Heaps of space, not touching the end.
I've got a bit of clearance.
I've got about this much space above my head
at this end here,
and I've got loads of shoulder space.
So, I could probably sleep in here
with my dog if I wanted.
Maybe squeeze two people in here.
Maybe you and your child might squeeze in.
If you're taking your young one
for a bit of a camping trip
you could probably squeeze in here.
But ideally, heaps of space
just for a one person set up.
That's pretty much all the features
of the Coleman Instant Swagger 1P tent.
Swag, tent, swent,
whatever you want to call it.
It's a matter of opinion on just what you want.
I like the word swent
because it kind of crosses that bridge
between a swag and a tent.
Doesn't have the integrated mat,
but packs up and sort of has the same use case as a swag.
