ARB SkyDome 3 Single Swag Tent

Description

ARB SkyDome 3 Single Swag Tent

The ARB SkyDome 3 Single Swag builds on ARB’s long-standing reputation for dependable off-grid camping equipment. Refined using customer feedback, the third-generation SkyDome introduces a smarter layout, tougher construction and several thoughtful features designed to make camp setup quicker and overnight stays more comfortable.

Finished in ARB’s fresh stone colourway, this spacious one-person swag includes an integrated interior light, magnetic door closures, upgraded ventilation windows and reinforced poles. Its generous head-to-hip height provides considerably more room than a conventional low-profile swag, helping you settle in without feeling boxed into a canvas cocoon.

Comfortable One-Person Camping Shelter

The SkyDome 3 Single Swag is designed for solo campers, 4×4 tourers and overland travellers who want the simplicity of a ground tent without surrendering mattress comfort or usable interior space.

Its freestanding dome construction can be used without pegs or guy ropes in mild conditions on suitable level ground. Heavy-duty pegs and reflective guy ropes are also included for additional stability when conditions demand it.

75mm High-Density Foam Mattress

A 75mm convoluted high-density foam mattress is included inside the swag, giving you a supportive sleeping surface without needing to pack a separate camp bed or inflatable mattress.

The mattress is fitted with a removable, machine-washable and non-rusting cover, making it easier to keep your sleeping area fresh throughout longer touring trips.

Heavy-Duty Canvas Construction

The ARB SkyDome 3 is manufactured using tough 14.75oz heavy-duty canvas with water and rot-resistant treatment. This durable material is designed to provide dependable protection during regular camping, touring and overland use.

Quality oversized YKK zippers are fitted around the doors and windows. Protective rain gutters help divert water away from these openings while maintaining easy access to the swag.

Water-Resistant Tub Base

Underneath the swag is a heavy-duty 970gsm seam-welded base with 70mm-high tub sides. This raised base helps prevent water, damp ground and campsite debris from entering the sleeping area.

The welded construction also removes vulnerable stitched seams from the lowest section of the swag, where contact with damp ground is most likely.

Integrated USB LED Lighting

An internal LED light is built into the SkyDome 3 and connects to a suitable power bank through USB-A.

This provides convenient lighting inside the swag for organising equipment, changing clothes or settling down after dark without needing to balance a separate camping lantern somewhere above your head.

Fast Magnetic Door Closures

Ergonomic magnetic closures are fitted to the doors, allowing quick and easy access without needing to operate the main zipper every time you enter or leave the swag.

The magnetic fastening system is particularly useful when moving between the swag and campsite during the evening while still allowing the main YKK zippers to be fully secured overnight.

Maximum Ventilation

The upgraded ventilation system includes a full-width foot window and front moonroof, both accessed through heavy-duty YKK zippers.

These openings encourage cross-flow ventilation through the swag, helping manage heat and condensation during warmer nights. The mesh moonroof can also provide a clear view of the sky while keeping insects outside where they belong.

Internal dowel pockets at the ends of the windows help hold the material in position and reduce unwanted flapping in breezy conditions.

Integrated Storage and Organisation

Storage pockets inside the swag provide convenient places for smaller essentials such as keys, phones, torches and power banks.

Additional features include:

• Wide-brim hat holder
• Interior lighting hooks
• Integrated boot storage
• Front pole storage compartment
• Rubber-grip carry handle

These storage points help prevent equipment from becoming scattered around the sleeping area during the night.

Integrated Entry Mat and Boot Storage

An integrated entry mat creates a cleaner transition between the campsite and sleeping area. It also incorporates boot storage, helping keep footwear dry and protected from insects and other unwanted overnight visitors.

The pole storage bag is positioned across the front of the swag and can double as an additional entry mat. Keeping the poles attached to the swag also makes them considerably harder to leave behind when packing for your next trip.

Reinforced Swag Poles

The joints on the SkyDome 3 poles have been reinforced and overlapped to improve strength and long-term durability.

Metallic red accents identify the eyelets used for the poles, making the correct assembly points easy to spot during setup. Heavy-duty pegs and reflective red-and-black guy ropes are included for securing the swag when required.

Entry Awning

The front door can be extended to create a practical entry awning. Optional upright poles can be used to support the awning, providing additional shelter over the entrance and helping keep the doorway protected during light rain.
