A very cool piece of kit – it's light and fits in almost any pocket. I use it as neck insulation, but it also works great as an emergency tarp when you need to protect equipment from rain. The material is durable, and the ability to use it in so many ways means I rarely go into the field without it. If you're looking for something that takes up zero space but could save the day in sudden bad weather, this 'scarf' from Helikon is a perfect choice.

Versatile DWR nylon poncho, resistant to moisture and abrasion. Can be used as a tarp, sleeping bag, jacket, or blanket. Ideal for the outdoors and survival. Highly recommend.

A convenient solution for an additional layer of insulation or protection against the wind. Very handy – when folded it fits into a larger trouser pocket or a small backpack pocket. It can serve as an extra "insert" for a sleeping bag to improve insulation. For everyday use, it's a solid scarf for the neck. Resistant to damage and dirt – you simply don't see it. It perfectly matches and complements the basic swagman roll.

I am surprised by the scarf, I was skeptical about it. I've changed my mind, it will be a nice way to add warmth in the summer and a shield against wind and sun. I tested it at 8°C, as extra insulation for my back and neck. In my opinion, it will be a great thing in the summer. It's very small when folded, fits in your hand.

This poncho is great because when folded, it really takes up very little space in the backpack and easily fits even under a double bottom. You need to practice folding it, but the Swagman impresses both in terms of appearance and practicality. Once opened, the storage pouch can be used as a chest pocket, and the zippers allow you to adjust the poncho to your own needs. An additional advantage is the possibility of using it as a scarf. I have one reservation – the hood could be bigger and a sturdy visor would be useful.
-
The product is brilliant in its simplicity and functionality. It works well as an insulating and warming layer (over a jacket), and as protection against rain and wind. It has a nice front pocket for small handy items. The two-way zippers are a great feature – you can really wrap yourself up securely to block out the wind. The Swagman packs down to a compact size. It complements other products from Helikon perfectly.

I bought the Poncho Swagman Scarf in Taiga Green after watching several reviews and a few videos on YT. I am a person who chooses equipment and clothing with particular attention to functionality. And this piece of material is phenomenal. The color is great for me. I've already used it a few times in the field—mainly as a jacket and scarf. The nylon material is very pleasant to the touch but also very durable. It worked well in light rain as well as in fairly strong wind. Its compactness is impressive. It doesn't take up much space in the backpack and is light. I'm already very satisfied, even though I've only used it for a short time. I recommend buying this product because it is worth having something with you that has so many uses outdoors—for trips to the mountains, into the woods, or to the city. Simply everywhere.

The Helikon Swagman Scarf poncho is a truly functional and versatile piece of clothing that I highly recommend to anyone who spends time outdoors. It's a combination of a poncho, sleeping bag, and scarf that can be used in various ways, making it extremely practical in the field. Thanks to the material, it is exceptionally durable, yet lightweight and compact, so it doesn't take up much space in your backpack but can really keep you warm on colder days. It works great both as protection against rain and as an extra thermal layer during outdoor overnight stays. What's more, the poncho can easily be turned into a sleeping bag or used as a windbreaker, making it ideal for survival, trekking, or camping trips. If you're looking for something that will provide you with versatility, comfort, and protection in changing conditions, the Swagman Scarf is definitely a product worth having in your gear.

The Taiga Green color looks great – subdued, natural, and perfectly matches the outdoor style. The poncho works well both at the campsite, in the mountains, and during everyday trips outside the city. I also appreciate the product's compactness – once packed, it takes up very little space. This was definitely a purchase that met my expectations. I recommend it to anyone who values practicality, quality, and versatility outdoors.
-
A great product that has many uses. I bought several pieces for the bug-out bags for the whole family as a complement to the Swagman Roll and Helikon Poncho.
-
A very practical and functional product - brilliantly designed - many uses - both in forest environments and in the city - it is PERFECT for an EDC kit - it's always worth having it with you!
-
I love these kinds of novelties from Helikon—one item, several uses. I waited a long time for this swagman, very good as a shawl, especially in weather like this. Pleasant to the touch, protects from wind and rain when used as a poncho.
-
Very nice product with many uses, the material is pleasant but durable. When fully unfolded, its size is about 180x180. When rolled up, it's the size of a 330ml can. All the details are in the attached video. Bought with the idea of using it as insulation and as a cover while traveling. RECOMMEND!!
