Ridgedome Swag

G'day Jai,

The Darche Ridgedome Swag has superfine mesh but it's not specifically listed as Midge proof. We'd recommend checking out our blog about midges and taking some extra precautions.

G'day Nathan,

The Darche Ridgedome Swags are made in China. 

G'day Anthony,

I've actually tried this out in the past for a customer and thought it wouldn't work as the swag is a bit wider. But it actually works a treat! The poles sit off the side of the stretcher a little but they don't really sag at all. The main body of the swag sits perfectly so you'd be fine with this combo. 

G'day Matt,

The Darche Outbound 1100 Swag Bag will fit the Darche Ridgedome Swag well.

G'day Emma,

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're having with condensation. The only suggestion I can think of at the moment is maybe trying a small fan in your swag. If the night is still and there isn't airflow, then having the swag open won't help too much because the air still can't move. 

G'day Bruce, 

The Darche Ridgedome Swag doesn't come with an included carry bag, but a good option would be something like the AOS Swag Bag Double - it's going to be a little roomy but it will accommodate the length of the swag when it's packed. 

G’day George,

We don’t have one of these swags on display, and I wasn’t able to take this swag out of its box - but from measuring the size of the box, the Ridgedome measures approx 100cm long x 35cm wide x 35cm high.

Keep in mind that the size of the swag won’t be exact to those dimensions once it’s out of the box, as you probably won’t be able to roll it as tight as the factory.

As for the materials - canvas is going to be more breathable compared to synthetic fabric, and it has natural insulation which’ll keep you cool when it’s hot, and warm when it’s cool. Canvas is often more durable over time as well.

Polycotton is a mixture of synthetic and natural fibre, so you’ll get more resistance to mould/mildew as it’ll be a little more water resistant.

I’d say it would come down to personal preference, but if you’re willing to spend little bit more the canvas may be worth in the long run in terms of quality.

G'day Boris, 

I've just had a look through Darche's range and unfortunately the Ridgedome Swag only comes in one size - King Single. 

Darche make some other styles in a double size, specifically the Dusk To Dawn 1400 and the Dirty Dee 1400 which are both also freestanding swags (like the Ridgedome) - so you might want to take a look at those if you're interested in a Darche model.

You can also check out the rest of the double sized swags in our range here to get a feel of what else is available.
