G'day Matt,

The Nebula and Outbreak swags are both great options. They have a similar design and shape, with both brands being pretty popular. The Nebula comes with a fly included, which is pretty handy in colder climates. The Outbreak has a slightly thicker mattress, so is a little more luxurious, but you do have to purchase a fly separately, which you'll definitely want so you can reduce condensation in colder climates. Overall, we think both options are great, with the Darche having a slight edge due to its reputation over a longer time.

G'day Eileen,

Unfortunately not, the Nebula is essentially a rectangle with the corners cut off, so you won't be able to fit a rectangular mat inside it without the mattress pushing against the corners, which could cause damage to the swag and/or mattress.

G'day Mat,

Unfortunately not, the Nebula is a little too long, and the bag isn't quite the right shape to be able to suggest it into the bag.

G'day Bianca,

We'd recommend seasoning your new Nebula on arrival to ensure all of the seams seal up and keep you dry.

G'day Brent,

You sure can, the Nebula has been designed to be rolled up with the mattress inside of the canvas.

G'day Paul,

The base of the Nebula 1550 has a fairly robust PVC floor so you should need a groundsheet under it. You could pop a 2.44 x 2.44m Ultramesh Tarp underneath it if you'd like and then you'll have somewhere to pop your shoes on etc under the extended side annex.

G'day Les,

Great question, we get a lot of great feedback on the Darche Nebula, Dusk to Dawn 1400 and Dirty Dee 1400. The Nebula is probably the most versatile as it comes with a fly, which can be helpful to reduce condensation. The reviews on our site point to the Nebula being a very popular model!

G'day Terri,

Unfortunately not, the widest stretchers we've got come in at around 140cm. You could theoretically go for one of these, but it's not something we'd really recommend.

G'day Jenni,

The Nebula 1550 Swag is pretty easy to set up and takedown. However, if it's just for you we'd suggest maybe checking out one of the single swags as they'll pack down smaller and be easier to set up solo. It would be worth having a look at the Dusk to Dawn 900, and Dirty Dee 900.

G'day Maarten,

The overall size once fully pegged out, including all the gusset tabs, etc is 172cmW x 268cmL
Hope that helps!

G'day Warren,

For the most part, you should be fine with the Nebula 1550 as is, but if you're regularly out it in super cold conditions theres a few things you could look at.  The OZtrail Giga Earth Mat is a good option for those wanting a big more insulation under your existing mat.  With the Nebula 1550 being 150cm wide, two Giga Mats side by side is a simple solution.  The other option is to upgrade your mat entirely to a thicker mat that will insulate well on its own.  A couple of options you could look at are: Zempire Monstamat Twin, Exped Megamat Duo, or the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Double.  All can be rolled up with your swag.

G'day Ross,

Generally, with most swags, you'll be able to roll your swag up with a little bedding inside it. There is quite a bit of length in the straps so it shouldn't be a problem to leave your sleeping bag and pillow in the swag when you roll it up. 

G'day Luke,

Darhe do sell a replacement mattress for the Nebula 1550, but at this stage, we're not able to special order them. Your best bet will be to touch base with Darche and they should be able to sell you one directly. 

G'day Luke,

The Nebula 1550 Swag will need to be pegged out to hold its shape. You could get away with only pegging out two at each end though.
