Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll Poncho - Multicam PO-SMR-BL-34

설명

Once upon a time, the trappers, trekkers, and even soldiers did not carry sleeping bags. They carried blanket rolls. Up until very recently, wool was the best blanket material. Then, still several decades ago, Nylon fabrics came into being. During the Vietnam War, a new blanket appeared—the Poncho Liner. An ultra-lightweight blanket doubling as a warming liner for a rain-protection poncho.

In Australian slang, "swagman" means a traveling workman, something like an American cowboy or a trapper, occasionally on the lookout for work on the frontier. The difference was, the Australian swagman traveled on foot and carried all his belongings in a bed roll.

Swagman Roll® salutes these intrepid men, trembling on chilly mornings in their moist blankets—but with Swagman Roll®, there’s no need to emulate that particular part of their lifestyle. Made of thin Nylon fabric and filled with one of the best insulating materials mankind ever dreamed of—Climashield® Apex™—Swagman Roll® is not an ordinary blanket. It is more of a multifunctional tool, applicable wherever a warm cover is required. It can be used as a poncho liner, an emergency sleeping bag, an enhancement for a regular sleeping bag, a wrap-around blanket, a hammock liner, or simply worn as a stand-alone long, warm coat.
