Compact and useful for travel, emergency situations and everyday use
The Swagman Scarf is made for those who want a lightweight and flexible garment that can be used in many ways in the field. It takes up almost no space in your pack, but provides a large margin of safety when the weather changes or you need extra insulation. Perfect in a hiking backpack, car pack or EDC setup where low weight and high function are important.
One solution – many applications
The Swagman Scarf can be folded, fastened and shaped as needed and functions as several types of equipment in one:
- as a scarf or shawl in windy and cool weather
- as extra chest insulation under a jacket when you are on the move
- like a simple poncho with a hood when you unfold it
- like a light field jacket when the sides are fastened together
- as a minimalist sleeping pad or tarp in camp
- as an ultralight sleeping bag replacement in emergency situations
- as an extra insulating layer around the sleeping bag
- as a compressible equipment cover when rolled up
These are solutions that save both space and time when you need quick adjustments.
Lightweight, packable and comfortable material
The large square nylon panel packs down very small and unfolds quickly when needed. The material moves naturally with the rest of your clothing and works well with everything from shell jackets to hip belts and harnesses. It can withstand rough use and works well as an alternative to a regular emergency sheet, but with significantly better durability.
Built on a proven idea
The Swagman Scarf builds on the concept developed by renowned Canadian bushcraft instructor Mors Kochanski. It is designed to be functional, usable and thoroughly field-tested. The result is a smart accessory that can make a big difference on both short and long trips.
