To the hive mind,
I’m thinking of asking nearest and dearest to buy me a Helikon-tex Swagman Roll for Christmas. I’d value input on the following:
1/ is it a useful garment for sitting still at camp and/or observing nature?
2/ what colour do you favour - not DPM or MTP or Woodland as I’ve worn those quite enough

Funnily enough, my wife has been asking what I'd like for Christmas and I've been thinking of the same thing! A good friend of mine that I camp with regularly is very keen on his. He doesn't wear it all that often, but does like to sleep in it through the warmer months and even incorporates it into his winter sleep system by adding a second lightweight sleeping bag.

I think it would work very well as a warm layer around camp, but would be somewhat concerned about it catching a spark while around a fire.

As for colour, I think I'd go for the Olive or Sand/Brown.
