G'day Ash,

The Dual Swags have a Superfine Mesh which will protect against most insects and mozzies although the only mesh we know to be midge-proof is the No-See-Um mesh. This would still be suitable although some tiny midges may sneak through. 

G'day Lou,

Theres a range of different Swag Awning poles available, and all will work with the Dual - you can check them out here.

G'day Sam,

The 1400 Swag Bag is dustproof and the material is waterproof with an 800mm waterhead rating and polyurethane coating. The zippers aren't waterproof though, so you may get some water seep in through there in wet weather. We'd suggest using a roof rack bag or similar if it's likely to be quite wet. Although we haven't tried it ourselves, the Darche Nero 240 bag is the right dimensions to fit the 23 Zero 1400 Swag and could work as a dry bag.

G'day Craig,

Not a huge amount on the 1400 because of the extra size and weight of the canvas that the frame needs to support.
The new elbows primarily make a difference with the tensioning of the poles generally, reducing and risk of stress points that historically would have caused them to fail.
If you are wanting something more open and fully spaced internally, check out the Bandit - the central hoop offsets and canvas sag.
Hope that helps!

G'day Graham,

Yes, absolutely.  Just like a traditional swag, it's a separate piece of foam mat.
It comes packed separately from the swag from the factory (although in the same box), so you can choose not to use it at all if you have an alternative.

G'day Darren,

The 1400 Swag bag is the largest swag bag 23Zero do, and should be 150cm wide.  The mattress itself is 140 wide, so the swag should fit in the bag without too much trouble.  When the swags are fresh out of the box the canvas is very new and stiff.  This should soften with time and use, and make pack up a lot easier.
All of the other available swag bags from other brands are the same size as what you already have, so there's not a larger alternative within our range, sorry!

G'day Kacey,

The Dual Swag 1400 will be a little tricky to pack up if you're by yourself as the roll will be quite wide. If the kids are old enough to help, a second set of hands would be helpful to roll it up. The 1100 is a little easier and is just narrow enough for one person to be able to roll it up. I hope that helps.

G'day Josh,

The bag is fairly spacious, so you can generally fit a sleeping bag inside the swag as well. Generally, pillows are a little too bulky to roll up inside the swag and fit it in the bag.

G'day Phil,

Sorry to hear you've had some trouble with one of your poles. We don't sell model specific pole replacements, so the best bet will be to head over to the 23Zero website, they sell all of their pole replacements there.

G'day Teresa,

You can pop a Dual Swag 1400mm on a stretcher, however, all of the double-width stretchers have a bar running down the centre, so you'll end up with two fairly distinct hollows on either side for each person. If that works for you, then the Oztrail Easy Fold Queen Stretcher and the Kamp-Rite Queen Kwik Cot are good options that will fit the width of this swag.

G'day Catherine,

The small black tube is a temporary repair tube. If you experience an accidental field breakage, the tube can be slid over the break and taped in place to keep your swag in action until you can repair or replace the pole when you return home. 23Zero doesn't provide any instructions for their swag range, but as long as you make sure it is clean and dry before you roll it up and store it there isn't really anything else you need to know.

G'day Carl,

It's hard to say with any certainty without trying all possible combinations, but one of the crew here rolls up the Darche Cold Mountain Sleeping Bag 1400 in their 1400 swag and it still fits inside the bag.  That particular sleeping bag is quite hefty and warm, so I don't think you'll have any trouble with whatever sleeping bag you choose.

Hi Mitch, 

I just did some research on this, and while we still do have one of these to physically weight for you, it looks like the specs on the 23Zero site have changed since we first uploaded this swag and the weight is more like 14.5Kg.

I'm going to update these specs accordingly, sorry for the confusion.

The main swags I have heard of having bad side sagging is the Kings swags, Justin, of which I don't have any experience with. We have not had any negative feedback on the Dual swags in this respect though, so I'd be reasonably confident in saying that side sag on the Dual swag, if any at all, is much less of a problem

G'day Justin,

23Zero are Australian owned and operated, they manufacture in China. The Dual Swag 1400 have a ridge spreader bar across the top and a fairly tight weave canvas which helps to reduce sag. Our product video for this swag shows what the swag will look like when it's set up if you need a reference to how the canvas will sit.

G'day Jane, 

Thanks for your enquiry. The 23Zero Dual Swag 1400 does indeed come with the centre ridge pole.

G'day Ben,

Thanks for getting in touch. The Dual Swag 1400mm by 23Zero is a fairly similar design to the Darche Dusk to Dawn series. The canvas on the 23Zero is a little lighter weight but it does have a slightly thicker mattress, so overall we'd say they're pretty comparable and both great options!

G'day Jon, 

In terms of quality and materials, the Bandit and the Dual are on par with each other as they're made from the same canvas and feature the same mattress. The main differences are just the design of the swag, and the weight. 

The Dual has a simpler design - it features two end poles with 2 entry points and weighs 9.6kg, whereas the Bandit has a three pole design with four entry points, has nearly vertical walls for more interior space and weighs significantly more at 19kg. I hope this was helpful Jon. 

G'day John, 

We sure do! You can check out the Dual 900 here and the Dual 110 here. I hope that helps.
