Great purchase. I thought about it for a long time, but I absolutely do not regret it. I managed to buy an orange one on sale, and I use it whenever I do not have to stay hidden. It protects very well against cold and wind, and it also handles light drizzle well. It is lightweight and, when packed properly, it takes up very little space. It even worked well for me as a sleeping bag in the woods at a temperature of around 8 degrees, without an additional insulating layer. Truly a great buy.

I already have one Swagman Roll and decided to buy a second one. I came across an orange one at an attractive price during a summer sale. It will be kept in the car just in case. I was worried that the bag would be light-coloured and get dirty easily, but that turned out to be unnecessary — in this model, the compression sack is black, which is a plus for the manufacturer. The older one served and still serves as a summer sleeping bag, and it works very well in that role. I recommend it.

I have two Swagmans: I bought the first one eight years ago and after seven years of use it still works flawlessly, which is why a year ago I decided to buy a second one. The first is still fully functional. Now I'm considering buying the Multicam version. I recommend both the product and the shop.

Good product, provides warmth and is well made. It works great as an extra layer for your sleeping bag or as a cover. I have two versions – camouflage and blue, both are the same in terms of quality. Once packed, it takes up little space. An XS size for children would be useful.

Swagman Roll performs excellently in cooler conditions, is comfortable, and can be used in various ways during travel or camping. The fabric seems durable, and the whole product is lightweight and easy to pack. The order arrived quickly and without any problems.

I bought the poncho at a great discount, and for this price it's a really wonderful and versatile thing, you can even warm up together during a stop, or even spend the night in it during the warm season.

This is my first poncho, I really liked the quality and appearance, as well as its functionality. As soon as you put it on, you immediately feel your body warming up. I don't think it will be comfortable to sleep in it at 0°C, but I think it will be great for use during the warm season.

The Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll Climashield Apex is well made, offers good insulation, and is versatile for use as a poncho or blanket. The material feels robust and gives an overall reliable impression. My number 1 piece of equipment!

The Swagman poncho from Helikon is a great choice, worth every penny spent. During cold days at the campsite, it effectively protects against the cold. The material is of high quality, and I can easily perform various activities in it without feeling overheated. Highly recommended!

The poncho/sleeping bag has been very well designed. The Climashield fibre filling provides warmth, although at temperatures below 10 degrees it is a bit too thin and may not be enough without an additional layer. Its lightness makes it a great option as an emergency or extra insulation. I haven't tested the thermal properties after it gets wet, but it's probably worth having a waterproof poncho as an outer layer as well. At this price, around 400 PLN, I definitely recommend it.

The Helikon brand product is excellent. It has served me both as a sleeping bag and a poncho, and has proved invaluable in difficult situations many times. It has also worked perfectly as an extra layer of warmth on colder days during long walks with my dog in the forest. I definitely recommend it!

If it was not for military eu great pricing I would not be happy, got a little fat spit on it cooking so wiped it down by hand and wiped off the dwr coating and now light rain sinks straight through, not great product from helikon, made me choose pentagon for my next coat instead of the helikon yukon, luckily bought the u.s pattern poncho at the same time as an outer layer but regardless for a product that is usually sold for upwards of £130 a big let down. Military eu service is great though thanks guys.

I purchased the Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll (Climashield Apex) cover/poncho in PenCott WildWood camouflage, and I can confidently say it was an excellent choice. What I really like about it: Dual functionality: it can be used both as a lightweight sleeping bag/insulating jacket and as a protective poncho. The material — nylon and Climashield Apex filling — provides really good thermal insulation even in damp conditions. Neat format when folded (29 × 19 cm) and still quite light (approx. 762 g), so easy to take on a trip. Well-thought-out design — front zip, pocket, DWR (water-repellent) coating — which increases comfort in the field. PenCott WildWood camouflage — both functional and aesthetic (if you care about an outdoor look).

Nice colour. Easy to put on, as well as roll up and store in the cover. The material is not thick, rather for lighter, cooler nights, as a solo sleeping bag it might be too thin – it will be better as a supplement to another sleeping bag. The pocket is also nice. The price now finally reflects the quality and nature of the product, previously in my opinion it was definitely too high.

I hesitated for a long time about buying it, as I wasn't sure if I would find it useful. Eventually, a promotion tempted me and I have no regrets – it works great as a summer sleeping bag, and now I keep it in my boot all the time. I recommend it!
