Swagman Roll colours and opinions?

[DocG]

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.

I must admit wanting some helikon trousers in that colour.

An upvote for the very natural and outdoor neutral Coyote brown.

Also when you burn holes in it just sew on a morale patch in the same colour!

Helikon have a sale at present!
Thanks for input.
Anyone seen the dark (“chocolate”) brown version? I have their smock in that colour and find it very forgiving on long Scout camps + it blends in with trunks.
My fashion sense (yeah, right) worries about overdoing one colour…
