Wind is the enemy of warmth. The sun might be out but if it’s blowing, you’re going to feel it – no matter how bright the day.
The Assegai is as light and sharp as its namesake – the slim hunting spear favoured across southern Africa. Throw a Swazi Assegai windbreaker jacket in your car or daypack. Count on this lightweight, yet totally windproof jacket for all-round weather protection provided thanks to its AEGIS® Windshield fabric.
Water-resistant, though extremely breathable, the Assegai is on-point for form and function.

Thanks for the awesome review Rob! We're stoked to hear you're loving your new Swazi jacket. There's nothing better than keeping toasty while working (or playing) outside in the elements. Cheers to many more cozy adventures ahead!

What is the Swazi Warranty?
All Swazi garments are unconditionally warranted against faulty fabric and workmanship. We reserve the right to repair or replace at our discretion. We have a specific page for more details on our warranty and repairs and returns policies here.
Will I have to pay customs on an international order?
International customers are solely responsible for payment of all duties, import taxes and customs fees.
These fees are not included in the cost of shipping and we are unable to provide estimates of what this will cost as it will depend entirely on the garment and what charges your own government imposes.
Please check with your local customs agent for more details.
Can I change or cancel my order?
We process orders very quickly, which means in most cases, we can't make changes after an order has been placed. We definitely cannot make changes after we have sent a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link.
In saying that, if you have already placed an order and would like to cancel or change it, please email us service@swazi.co.nz or call 64 6 368 4822 within 2 hours of placing your order. We will do the best we can.
