Fabric & Care

280gsm Polar Fleece

You've not worn a decent fleece garment until you have tried one of Swazi's fleece garments. Unlike other brands of fleece, Swazi's 280gsm high-quality, plush Polar Fleece is built tough but comfy. No scratchy, squeaky fleece here, it's quality all the way

Layer

Mid or Outer Layer

Our number one selling fleece garment, the Swazi hood, can be worn pretty much everywhere. On those really cold days, you can wear it as a mid layer and chuck a Tahr XP, a Wapiti, or Torrent over the top. One of the most versatile garments in our range, the boys love 'em, and the girls pinch 'em, which means another opportunity to buy it again in a different colour.

Conditions

MIld/Dry/Cold

Super tough for outdoors work on the farm, it is a great addition to your next hunt, on the sidelines or around the campfire.

Ticks a lot of boxes.

Really like this top. It has become my go to garment whether it is going to the pub, walking the dog, getting changed after diving or slopping around the house.

The only downside is people see the emblem and immediately think I am from South Africa.

The Hood

I bought the hoodless previous version and was so impressed ( wear, versatility, style, warmth).

The hood is brilliant as it adds to the high collar for cutting out any skinny winds. The breast pocket simply finishes off a perfect garment.

I am normally a M fit but the previous garment was too snug fitting so l bought a L and it is perfect sizing.

My wife also bought the Hood being so impressed with its cut and look. Cannot say more!

Great hoodie

Nice and light but very warm. I use it on the farm most days unless its in the wash as part of a layering system. Would be great to have a 2nd one for those days

Bought for the young fella, has not stopped wearing it.

Great jumper, he asked me to pick it up when in NZ recently, but I didn’t realise I could buy in AU.

Size is just right, not too heavy and perfect for general use in a Sydney winter

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you have Swazi retail stores?

We do have a Swazi shop right next door to Swazi HQ here in Levin, New Zealand.

We only sell our products through the very best retailers - we're very selective about who we have representing our gear! Find out where your nearest store is by clicking on the Swazi Stockists section or click here for the quick link.

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.

How do I know what size I need?

Every individual product page has a link to our size chart.
