Almost perfect
A little different from the usual hunting and farming reviews… this is the review from an angler in the UK. Not the usual angler that you find in NZ ( or the UK to be honest) but the crazy mobile winter river dweller who creeps around UK rivers through the day and night trying to winkle out a monster or two, with shelter other than the coat on my back. All done during the most inhospitable of UK weathers. We may not have the extreme weather of Canada say, but it does get pretty dam cold and wet.
I have been a fan of Swazi gear after finding a pair of the Swazi over trousers in the sales in the UK, a no nonsense tough design with no fly or pockets to let water or wind in, and boot closures on the ankles to stop water from ditches getting into your boots.
I splashed out whilst on a trip to NZ on the Tahr and Windriver Jacket. These now supplement my Keela Ventile and Belay Smock for those days when it’s rough out there.
The Windriver has been worn throughout the current UK winter with temperatures down to -8c and during strong winds and sideways rain and it hasn’t let me down. Wearing a merino or Zerofit base layer and mid layer fleece and the Tahr over the top when the weather is at his worst I’m warm and comfortable.
The long length is great for keeping your top of the legs and posterior warmer, rather than just relying on the over trousers and thermal base layer alone.
The only downside is that it’s a jacket as I prefer smock designs.
Great work Swazi I’ll be after…

The perfect coat for a Christmas gift. Exactly what I was after when looking for that outdoors coat for my father. He loves it!

Best Jacket Ever!
Well this is my second WINDRIVER Jacket, it’s the best Jacket l have ever purchased. Somebody else obviously thought the same as they walked off with my last one. Lightweight, windproof, warm, breathable , hardy, takes most of the elements that can be thrown at it, though not designed as a waterproof.
Has a certain toughness about it, a breed of jacket designed from experience that is Swazi, and what customers expect from the Brand.

My favourite jacket 95% of the time!
It’s pretty awesome for almost every situation. I walk the dogs in it - plenty of storage for leads, treats and so on. I shoot in it (could do with U.K. Barbour style washable game pockets), I’ve been to concerts in it, I’ve been to the supermarket in it. I even took it to Iceland on a photo trip!
Unless it’s very cold indeed or very wet indeed, this coat is the business.
I’d like Velcro on the cuffs please.
