Darche have named Dee as their ultimate freestanding tourer in their range, and you can certainly see why. The Dee stands completely upright thanks to the clever pole trigger locking system, and it is as spacious as a small tent.
The mesh covered windows are massive so you can unzip the fly to catch a glimpse of your beautiful surroundings while you chill out in your shelter. One of the really great features of Darche swags are their mattresses – which are the kind that are actually comfortable enough on their own without the need to add extra padding for grabbing some shut eye.
You can get Dee ready for a good night’s rest lightning fast – so it’s perfect for the touring lifestyle. Over the years a swag can become like an old friend, who you’ve shared a long list of adventures with, so make sure you invest in a good quality shelter like the Dirty Dee to accompany you wherever you go.

Swag and stretcher3 answers
Upgrading my current swag (B&W Redgum) and would like to know if the Dirty Dee 1100 would be okay on a Darche XL 100 stretcher. Just worried the extra height of the Dirty Dee might make the stretcher unstable
G'day Lawrie,
I can't imagine the height of the swag will affect the stability of the stretcher to much, as your body weight will still be in the same position.
However, the concern with a high rising swag will be as the stretcher sags/bows with weight on it, the top of the swag will angle in against itself which will place significant pressure on the poles.
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any 1100mm wide swags you would recommend for use with a stretcher?
G'day Lawrie,
Unfortunately, you'll have the issue with any swag with poles and poles are now a very modern feature of almost all swags. However, the more you can lower the height of the swag, hopefully, the less strain you can place on the poles.
A common purchase for stretchers is the AOS Tracker Swag. If you're after the 1100 width, the double would be the best-suited size which is available here. Many people manage to get away with using the Tracker without any poles at all and the other benefit is that it's a fantastic quality Australian swag.
