Mitchell Expedition Single Swag

G'day Andrew,

The Oztrail Mitchell Expedition Single Swag has a Waterhead rating of 600mm, which means it's good for light showers for brief periods of time. If you're going to get heavy rain in Ireland, then I'd suggest that it's maybe not the greatest option for you. If you'd like to understand these Waterhead ratings a little better, you can check out our blog on the matter here. 

G'day Brandon,

I would suggest that the best bag for your Oztrail Mitchell Expedition Single Swag would be the Oztrail Canvas Swag Bag - King Single. It should fit nicely in there!

G'day Jake,

I've just checked with our swag expert, Nev, and he said that the Oztrail Mitchell Expedition Single Swag is as long as a King Single but is only as wide as a single mattress. So you'll get the extra length but not the extra width. 

G'day Peter,

Great question. Oztrail have made a few changes to the Mitchell Expedition swag. The two notable ones are that the canvas has been reduced from 330gsm to 230gsm and the mattress thickness from 6cm to 5cm.

G'day Anthea,

I've just pulled the tape measure out, tried not to compress the foam at all and got a measurement for the mattress of 208L x 88W x 5H cm.

G'day Dave,

The Oztrail Biker Swag is a lightweight and compact swag designed for bike touring so it's much lighter and smaller than most swags. This is reflected in the fabric type, space available in the swag and number of poles.

The Oztrail Mitchell Expedition and Oztrail Sturt Expedition are both fantastic entry level swags that in many respects are very much the same. The key differences are that the Sturt is a little smaller in size (10cm shorter in length and 15cm in width) and only has 2 poles, not 3 - the poles are also made of different materials.
