Helikon-Tex offer a wide range of ponchos and Swagman Rolls, each designed for slightly different uses — from wet-weather protection to insulation, shelter, and lightweight sleep systems.

In this video, I take a hands-on look at the different **Helikon-Tex ponchos** and **Swagman Rolls**, breaking down how each one works, where it excels, and how I’d use it in real outdoor and field conditions. This isn’t about marketing claims — it’s about practicality, versatility, and choosing the right kit for the job.

🧥 **What I cover in this video:**
- The different Helikon-Tex poncho options and their uses
- Swagman Roll variants and insulation levels
- How ponchos and Swagman Rolls can be combined
- Weather protection, warmth, and packability
- Use cases for bushcraft, wild camping, EDC, and field use
- Which setup makes the most sense depending on conditions

⚙️ **Key points discussed:**
- Poncho as rain gear, shelter, or tarp
- Swagman Roll as insulation, blanket, or lightweight sleep system
- Layering options and modular setups
- Pros, cons, and limitations of each option

If you’re looking to build a flexible outdoor or bushcraft setup without carrying unnecessary weight, understanding these options will help you make the right choice.

👇 Let me know in the comments — do you prefer a poncho-based system, a Swagman Roll, or a combination of both?
