If you are going to name a product after the toughest Cape Buffalo – well, you better make pretty darn sure that product is tough enough! Our Swazi® Buffalo Bag blends durability with polar fleece comfort.
Bonded polyester thread, reinforced shoulders, and top-grade webbing come together with our thickest, most comfortable 350gsm fleece. Every stitch is crafted to ensure you get the ultimate comfortable and practical hunting utility bag.
The bumbag is separated from the main pikau (a pack, knapsack, or rucksack), by an ingenious one-piece canvas wall, to prevent seepage from meat or capes into the lower bag. Unfolded, the Buffalo Bag zips out to make a large and comfortable day bag. Belt locks have independent locking systems and the ergonomic design aids with heavy carries adding balance and control.

Buffalo bag
Best day bag. This is my third one of these. I have put this one away in case they stop making them again. First one lasted many years but now a bit tired. Second one still going strong.

Tough Bum bag
Had my Swazi Buffalo Bumbag for 20 years. Both my sons use Buffalo Bag👍Compact to hunt with. Bush hunt as Bumbag, open country full pack. Rollout top of pack to carry meat out or gear as day warms an layers go. The zips have been incredibly strong. Often 2 back legs in and zip won't close. Zips partly closed hold it with no damage to zip. Fabric does not tear yet its lightweight.
The only improvement would be Bumbag zip tab stronger. The metal tab did break. Swazi replaced, no charge.

Buffalo Bag
My hunting mate of for thirty five years has had one of your Buffalo Bags for as long as I can remember and wouldn’t part with it. So I thought at the tender age of 74 and still hunting regularly I thought it was about time I purchased one. It is extremely well constructed and also very robust. It will be coming with me this 2025 Roar.

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.
