When it comes to outdoor technical apparel a handful of fabrics stand out for their almost supernatural abilities. Things like being able to keep you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. Or the ability to be worn for days on end without getting stinky.
The Nuyarn® Merino is one of them – and we chose it for our Hoodoo merino short sleeve top. This award-winning wool offers revolutionary performance – drying up to five times faster than conventional merino. Ultra soft, strong, light and stretchy, it’s also naturally odour neutralising, making it perfect for multi day trips and backpacking.
This exceptionally designed, temperature regulating base layer is also far more wind resistant then conventional merino wool. Frankly, wearing anything less is a compromise – just read the reviews.

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.
