Darche is legendary for crafting some of the best swags on the market – it’s a key part of the company’s history. The Dirty Dee series is no exception, offering some of the best value around. Featuring a PVC floor, heavy waterproof canvas shell, and ample ventilation, this tent is sure to keep you comfortable in any conditions, and is perfect for solo travelers looking to try out a swag for the first time
Darche Dirty Dee Swag
Swags have been used for decades in Australia – now they’re ready for Canada’s most unforgiving terrain. With ultra fine insect mesh, a comfortable mattress and 800mm PU waterproofing, the Dirty Dee is one of the best value swags on the market today.
A heavy duty ultrasonically welded PVC floor prevents ground moisture and ensures you can set up just about anywhere – grass, mud and even snow. Easy deployment means you can quickly get some rest on the included 70mm/2.75″ mat after a long day in the backcountry. Stowage is just as simple – just take down the poles and roll it up, mattress and all. The built-in compression straps make pack-down very easy.
We often get asked what the difference is between a Dirty Dee and the Dusk to Dawn swag. It really comes down to design – both models offer the same high-quality materials, sleeping area, and mattress. The Dusk to Dawn features dome-style construction and a larger side opening, while the Dirty Dee has more windows and roll-up end flaps.
The ridge pole trigger locking system developed by Darche makes the Dirty Dee swag the ultimate freestanding tourer. Its near-vertical walls and ventilation points provide functional design without compromising on comfort. It also pairs nicely with fitted accessories like the ATM Air Mattress, Cold Mountain Canvas sleeping bag or waterproof Nero gear bag.
