Darche Air−Volution™ AD 900 Swag

G'day Huy,

Generally you adjust the PSI of your poles depending on conditions eg. if its hot your wont inflate them as much.  If its cold you can inflate them to a higher PSI.
In terms of the swag and canvas itself, lots of people use Darche swags in the snow without any issues.  Just make sure your swag is well-seasoned before you go.

G'day Sophia,

No Problems! The Oztrail easy fold will be fine with this swag.

G'day Paul,

If your BlackWolf Hexatherm XL Mattress is about 200L x 90W cms you should be able to squeeze this in there. I've just checked with someone in-store and they can confirm it will fit. 

G'day Ryan,

I've just heard back from Darche and the weight of the AD 900 swag mattress would be around 1kg. So with the mattress taken off the swag would weigh about 10.9kgs.

G'day Romy,

Ultimately neither of the Air-Volution swags will be as roomy as the Dirty Dee.
The Dirty Dee is a very different structure with the segmental poles (not hoops) and the total frame holding all of the swag canvas as open & out as possible.
With the Air-Volution or same style hooped swags, the only structure is through the hooped ends.
Even with a ridge pole there isnt anything through the centre of the swag to stop the sides sagging in.
The 1100 is going to give you the most room, but it's going to be a very different kind of space to the Dirty Dee.

G'day Marc,

Yes, the Darche XL100 stretcher is designed for use with Darche 900 swags.
The ATM is also 900 wide, which will correspond to the width of the 900 AirVolution.
You'll be sleeping comfy!

G'day Andrew,

Yes, the Black Wolf 2D Mega Deluxe Mattress will fit in the AD900 swag. It will be a little smaller than the supplied foam mattress, but it will still be a good fit, and provide some extra comfort.

G'day Andrew,

Generally, most air compressors won't have the right fittings to inflate an air pole swag. We'd recommend sticking with the supplied pump, as it will only take about 20 seconds, and you won't risk damaging your swag due to a moment of inattention with a compressor.

G'day SN,

Yes, the head end of the AD 900 is a little higher than the foot end. This helps to reduce the chance of water pooling on the top of the swag. 

G'day Richard,

The AD 900 swag is 90cm wide, and the Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher is also the same width, so we'd probably recommend that. You'll generally be best with a stretcher that is the same size so that the rain runs off the swag and doesn't pool between the swag and stretcher. If you wanted to put a different mattress in the swag then you could use the Exped Megamat, however using that in the 1100 wide might leave you with lots of excess internal space. 

G'day Sam,

If you double-check our Packed Dimensions we've got the size listed there for you.

G’day Dan, This is such a comfortable mattress and I'd definitely recommend it for use in your swag. Make sure the Megamat is deflated though before rolling it up inside your swag. We’ve had good feedback from other customers and our staff who use it in their swags too - and they all find it works really well.
