- Hey folks Ben, from Snowys here today.
I've got the 23Zero Outbreak Swag.
(upbeat music playing)
It's made from heavy duty canvas,
it's got windows and doors all around
a really cool sunroof features.
Perfect for those who want the roominess of a small tent,
but the durability of the swag.
So this is the swag setup behind me here
and it comes in this bag here.
Now this measures about 1.6 metres in length
and about 40 centimetres across these dimensions here
and they say there is enough room
in this bag to fit your sleeping bag in there
as well when you roll it up.
Now this is made from the same 400gsm poly-cotton canvas
that the Swag is made of, and nice heavy duty straps
that go right around the bottom of the swag,
bottom of the bag, sorry.
So it's nice and sturdy to carry.
The zip runs up the side and across the top
so you can almost flatten the entire bag out,
put the swag in there and then pull the bag up
over the top, just nice and easy to get the swag back
in the bag, and then once it's on the roof rack,
you got nice big grab handles on the ends
so it's easy to get on and off your roof.
Now, you also get a bag of pegs
with the swag.
And they're nice heavy duty pegs
or reasonably heavy duty pegs so you get enough
to set the swag up there, just little pegs.
That comes in a little canvas bag too.
Now, we just mentioned it does have an awning
on the front here that we'll show you shortly,
but it doesn't come with the poles for that,
but you can get little swag poles like this
as a separate accessory just to put out the front
to set this awning up here.
We'll show you a bit more on that shortly.
Firstly, the fabrics it's made of,
it's a 400gsm proofed poly-cotton canvas.
All of this canvas is the same material.
Feels like a really nice, tough canvas.
It doesn't have a ripstop in it,
but its got a nice tight weave
and offers really good weatherproof properties
and it's also really durable.
The mesh in all the windows and doors is 125gsm mesh.
So, I wouldn't say, not much is midge proof,
but I'd say it offers a really good balance of durability
and sort of not being too or being reasonably fine
and offering...
being able to see through the mesh comfortably as well.
And then the floor is a 550gsm Heavy Duty PVC
on the base there, it's all HF welded bucket floor,
so nice waterproof floor on that.
And on the very top they don't specify just what
this is made of... well, it is a polyester.
But they don't say what sort of weight it is,
but it's a ripstop polyester tropical fly
that goes over the top here.
This just sits over the top of the swag,
it's got little clips on the side here.
They come around the edge, just clip on
to the little hooks that go on the frame here.
That goes around each side, out the ends here.
You can peg it out so it offers a bit more protection,
a bit more rain protection.
And then on the front here, it has this awning that can fold
and I'm gonna roll this out now
and then I'm gonna take it off
because there's some cool features underneath here
that I wanna show you as well so.
All reinforced in the corners, bit of PVC there
where the islets are and this is where you can get
your swag awning poles and just set this up
as a little shelter just in front of the door of your swag.
Then you can put this on either way,
so you could reverse it and put it on the other way as well.
Now I'm acutally gonna take this off now,
as I walk through the other features of the swag,
and this has been a really popular model.
I've just got this set up in the shop here today,
because we finally had one on display long enough
for me to show you all of the features.
So, bit of a walk around.
First, you're starting with the door on the front.
Nice big storm flap here, with overlapping flaps here,
so it's nice and weatherproof.
And when this is open it can roll right up to the top here.
So we roll this up.
There are tabs here at the top to secure this open
and that then reveals a nice big mesh door underneath here.
So you've got almost full coverage on the side here
with that mesh.
This then opens to get inside the tent.
Now just secure this up here before we come around
to the end of the swag here.
So I'll show you the windows around here
before we get to this cool roof feature.
Now there's a few flaps going on on the end here as well.
Having said, there's peg points
that I'm putting at the bottom here.
So peg all that out,
Nice and secure to the ground.
Before I do this actually, I'm gonna mention the frame.
Haven't talked about the frame.
This is a anodized aluminium frame
that goes all through the tent here.
All just clipped together so it is a very sturdy frame.
It's not flexible.
Well it is a little bit flexible but not flexible in a sense
that the lightweight aluminium poles are but,
this all go it clips together and then you got
this extendable ridge frame here.
This spreads the two hoops apart so, a nice sturdy frame.
Back to the windows on the end here.
We've got this flap that sits over the top.
We undo these two zips from the side here.
We have got a second little gusset in underneath here.
So if we do that we can actually peg this out
as a little gusseted storm proof window on the end here.
If we undo both sides and roll this up,
we've got another layer underneath here
so you can see how weatherproof this is.
We've got two more layers still.
I'm just gonna do one side there.
Secure that to the top.
That can be set up out here
with this open underneath if we like.
That offers weather protection over these zippers.
If we unzip this one, this allows us, if say
it is really really wet weather, we can have this sort of
half open to allow ventilation up here.
This top one can come over the top
and we've got protection here from any sort of splashing
if it is really really wet weather.
Alternatively, open this all the way up.
You've now got that 125gsm mesh panel there,
and that opens as well so you can actually access the tent
from the end here if you like,
so that you go straight inside the tent.
We come around to the back here.
I'll probably just describe it to you.
Don't know if you can quite see,
but this is exactly the same as what we saw
on the other side there.
So we've got full length flap at the top here.
Full length meshes, this is a door as well,
so we can access it from this side.
And if that fly was on,
we wouldn't have the awning on this side.
We'd only have the awning on one side,
but we can reverse that fly around.
Round to the other end here.
Mirror image of the opposite end where we've got
this flap over the top which is gusseted.
So we can take this out as a gusseted window
to allow airflow and those two panels underneath
there as well.
Now, if we just come around to the front
I'll step inside the swag shortly but first
I want to show you the skylights of the roof vents
on these, so this one here is open at the moment.
So we've got this mesh panel here.
If we're not, you don't have to use the fly.
Without the fly it's quite waterproof.
The fly offers extra water protection.
This zips closed and you got two flaps
overlapping each other here.
Zip that up.
Now we've got a closed roof on there.
So, wet weather, that's gonna keep you nice and dry.
If you want a little more ventilation in the top of the tent
say in humid weather, or if you are on a dry night
and you just wanna be lying down star gazing,
or seeing the shape of the trees against the moon,
roll this up.
Now this, this feature here is mirrored,
mirrored on the other side here as well.
So, this skylight features on both sides of the tent.
So you can almost open up the entire swag.
If you do the windows at each end,
the doors on each side and both roof ends,
you've got mesh all around.
You've now got this big full length
mesh skylight in the top here.
Furthermore, not sure when, why you would need to do this,
but that opens as well.
I guess doing that allows you to close this
from the inside of the tent.
So if you wake up or it starts raining during the night
and you've got this open, you can unzip this.
Reach out, do this top panel up and then do
the mesh up underneath there as well.
So every side of the Outbreak Swag opens up and allows you
to almost have a full mesh,
sturdy mesh sort of shelter if you like.
If you zip it up and put the fly sheet over the top,
you've got a really weatherproof shelter.
Before we jump in, dimensions of the swag, on the outside,
it's probably about 230 centimetres from two
of the furthest peg point at each end,
and about 150 to 160, 155 to 160 centimetres in width,
sort of from the outside of the frame to the other side.
At the very top here around about 105 to 110 centimetres
on the outside.
Inside is a little bit different.
And if we have a look straight inside here,
we can see we've got, let me zip this up,
a high density foam mat.
It's a seven cent-, seven centimetre thick mat
that covers the entirety of the inside of the swag here.
Now that will roll up inside the bag as well,
and if you left the sleeping bag in there too,
you get the sleeping bag in there with it.
So, nice thick mattress here.
I'll have a seat on that.
Let you know how comfortable it is.
I wouldn't say it's the densest
or heaviest, heavy duty foam,
but once you lie down flat on here its really comfortable.
If you have too heavier duty foam mat in a swag
it's really hard to roll up.
I think this, sitting on this now,
it feels quite comfortable.
The space inside the tent is actually 215 centimetres
from the end here up to the very end here.
Now I'm 185 so lying down here I've got tonnes of space
and the ends of the swag are reasonable,
they're not upright, but they're not so sloped
that you've got a tight triangle at the end of the swag.
And 150 centimetres in width from this end here,
this edge to this edge.
The mat is tapered on the corners.
I'll show you on this opposite corner here.
Lets see, it's got a taper on the corner here,
so it fits neatly in the corners of the swag
because it does have angled sides on it.
It's not a square at each side there.
And head space inside here,
it's about 90 centimetres by the time you account
for some of the little bit of sag here.
So, 185 centimetres total height but I can sit upright here
with probably about five centimetres of head clearance here.
So, that height extends almost to the end of the Swag here.
So, it's almost-
well I can spread out from one end to the other
with my arms before it starts to slope down.
So, heaps of rooms to seat in here
and if you've got two people you can both sit up
each side of the swag here and have a bit of head space.
So, enough room clearly-
easily enough for two sleeping bags,
little bit of gear and people to suit up,
or you and your dog have got heaps of space in here.
Take a quick look at the other features inside.
We've got on this end here just a little mesh pocket.
Unless it's down underneath the mattress,
but it's a good place just to keep things
so they don't get lost.
Moving across from that, got that end door there.
As you can see you can access all three flaps,
the top one and the two here.
So you can zip up, well do them up or undo them
while you're inside the tent.
Above that you might not quite be able to see it but
there is a little set of plastic ring here.
So you can hang a lantern if you like off
of that guy there and that goes straight up
to where the frame meets at the top.
As you want I'm here to just point out that this
is all seam-sealed on the inside here as well.
I don't know if you can see that in the video that all
of these seams here have got seam type on it.
So the Swag itself is weatherproof.
You can season it out of the box if you like.
You don't have to.
It's weatherproof straight out of the box,
but this is an extra step they've taken
to make sure it's weatherproof on the seams there.
Keep moving around,
another storage pocket same as the other side here.
You've just gotta make this end not a foot end.
Moving on to this side.
That door that I showed you on the outside there,
I can open this from the inside to access to close
that door on the outside.
At the far end here,
we have a door.
Just like we had at the opposite end.
All accessible from the inside of the tent here.
So unzip that I can access the mesh panel on the outside.
And then most importantly,
the sky roof on top here so you can see.
I can unzip this and reach outside the tent here,
so I can undo this mesh panel on top here if or do I
have this mesh panel on top here.
So, this side's open at the moment.
This side I've got closed.
So, I can access this side here,
reach the mesh panel up under here.
Zip it up if I like,
and make sure I'm bunkered down and nice and weatherproof.
That is the Outbreak Swag from 23ZERO.
This has been a really popular swag.
We've had heaps of video requests.
We've only just been able to keep one on display in
the shop long enough for me to actually do a video on it.
I think it's a really durable, well made, and somewhat
bomb proof shelter.
If you're looking for something that's kind of tougher
than a tent, not as big as a large set of family sized tent,
but offers the durability and protection of a swag,
the Outbreak's a good option for you.
