A Nuyarn® Merino hooded base layer shirt built to outperform standard Merino on warmth, durability and wind resistance. Warmer when it's cold, cooler when it's warm and with a hood built for cold, windy conditions.
FIT & SIZING
The Everest Merino Hooded Shirt is designed as a heavyweight base layer, with a comfortable fit that sits close enough to work underneath an outer layer without feeling restrictive. The stretchy Nuyarn® Merino fabric moves with you, while the hood adds extra coverage around your head and neck in cold conditions.
Fit: Comfortable through the chest and body, designed to sit neatly under an outer layer
Layering: Designed to wear over a lightweight base layer or directly against the skin, then under a jacket
Movement: Stretchy Merino fabric gives you plenty of freedom to reach, bend and move
Body: 220gsm fabric gives the shirt a warmer, more substantial feel than a lightweight base layer
Hood: Adds extra coverage around your head and neck without needing a separate hat or neck layer Overall feel: Warm, soft and easy to layer without excessive bulk
Sizing: Your usual size should give you the intended comfortable base-layer fit

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.
