“Well, the Darche XL100 is exactly what it says on the can: a 1 metre wide, sturdy, foldable camp stretcher. Perhaps not as flash as the US made TETON XXL Camp cot but as the TETON isn't available in Oz, the exchange rate and postage put it at three times the price of the Darche - and I very much doubt it could be significantly better than this unit. I bought this to raise my 10 year old Darche hoop swag off the ground as my old bones feel the cold a lot more these days. This thing is solid. There's very little movement/wobble getting in or out of the swag (on/off the stretcher). The centre legs are right where your weight is as you manoeuvre on and off the unit and provide a feeling of stability. Easy to set up, it's plenty wide enough for anyone to enjoy a comfy night's sleep - even side sleepers. The thing packs up reasonably well into the provided zip-up bag (which is of pretty good quality actually). I have a Jet Tent Bunker and the Darche Swag on the XL100 in my kit, and although the Bunker is a great unit I prefer to sleep in my Darche setup. I'm very happy with my purchase.”

“Needed a stretcher to fit the Burke and Wills redgum XL and came across the Darche XL100. The XL100 at 1000mm wide fits the redgum swag at 1100mm perfectly, with 50mm of swag overhang to keep the rain off the stretcher for a dry nights sleep. Have tried mates stretchers of same width and found them to be cheaply made and unstable making a sleepless night. The Darche XL100 beats them all, more comfortable and solid than the others. A must have for the swag campers.”

“Awesome quality Stretcher. I highly recommend this stretcher it's very strong and sturdy and quite big as well. We use it with a single swag on top and it make sleeping in a swag even more comfy.”

“Great stretcher. Camped on the Balonne River for a week and never had an issue with the bed. Nice and wide which was great for my XL swag, like sleeping in a bed. Very sturdy and solid, virtually no movement. Easy set up and the end bars were a breeze to get into position. Packs away to a compact storage bag and not too heavy. Quality product and I would recommend to anyone looking for a new stretcher. Mates I camped with are all off to buy one!! Cheers, Adrian”
