Bandit 900 Narrow Double Swag
Bandit 900 Narrow Double Swag
The Bandit 900 is a freestanding canvas swag measuring 2150 × 900 × 850 mm (85 × 35 × 33 in) when pitched. The shell is 400 GSM 65/35 poly-cotton canvas on 9.5 mm black-coated stainless steel segmental-arch poles, so it stands on its own and holds its shape before you ever drive a peg. A 70 mm (2.75 in) high-density foam mattress is fitted inside, and the floor is a 550 GSM HF-welded PVC bucket that rides up the sidewalls with HF seam-tape-sealed joints to keep ground water out.
The 900 is the narrow end of the Bandit line. At 900 mm (35 in) wide it sleeps one adult with room left for boots, packs, and a dog, or two people who don't mind packing tight. Couples who want elbow room should look at the wider models. Two-way entry with full zip-down storm covers and zippered mesh windows on each end lets you batten it down in weather or open it up for crossflow on a hot night.
Packed weight is about 13.2 kg (29 lb) and it rolls to roughly 37 in long by 16 in diameter — a one-person carry that drops onto a tray-back, trailer deck, or rooftop platform where a wider swag won't fit. Built as a three-season, year-round ground shelter for overlanding, hunting, and quick-stop camping.

Use cases

Does the 900 really sleep two people?
It can, but it is tight. At 900 mm (35 in) wide the Bandit 900 is the narrowest model in the line. One adult sleeps comfortably with room for gear; two adults fit only if they pack close. Couples who want elbow room should size up to a wider Bandit.
Is it freestanding?
Yes. The segmental-arch stainless poles hold the swag's shape without stakes, so you can pitch it on a deck or tray. Peg the four corners down once it's positioned — freestanding does not mean wind-proof.
Will the floor keep water out?
The floor is a 550 GSM HF-welded PVC bucket that rides up the sidewalls, and the seams are HF seam-tape-sealed. That combination is built to stop ground water from wicking in underneath you.
Do I need a separate mattress or sleeping pad?
No. A 70 mm (2.75 in) high-density foam mattress is fitted inside. Most users add only a sleeping bag or quilt on top.
Is this a three-season or year-round swag?
It is built for year-round, three-season use. Zip the storm covers down to seal out wind and rain, or open the mesh end windows for crossflow ventilation when it's warm.
How big is it packed, and how heavy?
It rolls to roughly 37 in long by 16 in in diameter and weighs about 13.2 kg (29 lb) — a one-person carry, though not featherweight.
Does the canvas need any prep before first use?
Like most poly-cotton canvas, season it before you trust it in heavy rain. Wet it down and let it dry once or twice so the weave swells and the stitch holes seal. After that the 400 GSM canvas sheds water well.
