    As if bag the swag, it's a swag it's meant to get dirty. My ARB swag always lives on the roof when going away and when coming home.
    Usually I bring half the high country dust back home in my swag collected on the way back just hose it off when home and dry out. Easy.

    Its all good Eric is the suns out. Dirty isnt my issue, getting the bed wet is. The last thing i would want is to go away for a weekend, drive up in the rain, only to find out water has seeped in and now my bed is wet. Yhat would mean i would have to bunk up in your swag and spoon.

    Good swag is the key. lol
    I drove up in full rain 2 weeks ago and thought oh shit, wet bed tonight as my sleeping bag, pillow and blankets are rolled up inside the sad. Got to Jamieson unrolled it soakingwet, not a drop inside!!! Lucky. Same thing happened last year when I drove through a downpour just before Yea.

    For what it's worth. Aldi as the 4wd stuff coming september 3rd, and one of those items is a roof top bag... Maybe good for a swag ? I might go have a look.

    Yeah i know the swags are waterproof but it only takes water to get in one section and ruin your sleep. The swag bag is insurance i think. Those Aldi rooftop bags wont fit a double swag too.

    I saw Darche had a really good looking swag bag at the 4x4 show, it had a really good zip design and was vinyl, doesn't look like its on their website though...

I just went around him and made a run for it to the slate mine. The look on his face was priceless when he caught up with me. Lol.

    Well this has been a worthwhile exercise, I've solved about 3 problems with 1 item.

    I splashed out a bought a Drifta roof top bag. That'll be big enough for 1, maybe 2 swags, 2 camp chairs and some other odds and ends that need to go somewhere.

    Thanks everyone who contributed.

    Just turned up now.
    Same as my other one, but different straps. The only thing I can't figure out is how to fold up the end where the massive clip thingo is. SO I just loop it around the carry handle. Seems to work fine. Good value I reckon. I could even have my doona and pillow rolled up in the swag and it would still fit in the bag. Plus they gave me a $10 gift voucher too.

    Keep the straps open, then fold / roll the bag closed and then curve it until the clips fit together.

    They're based on the dry bags for kayaker a etc


    Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.
