The Kagoule is made from our new generation of AEGIS® Watershield Whisper fabric which is soft, light, very quiet and of course, very waterproof. We recently updated the Kagoule with new fabric, adding in a bit of stretch and a shorter nap that allows the jacket to dry much faster.
Features amazing freedom of movement, chest pocket with rivetted radio antenna easement channeled through the rubber chest label, plus has an opening within the jacket to allow microphone access. These two features are excellent for radio contact with hunting companions or monitoring a hunting dogs position.
Top opening pocket with large handwarmer pocket on the sides, and of course, the legendary Swazi high periphery vision hood.

Fabric & Care
Watershield Aegis® 3 Layer Whisper
We were one of the first in the world to produce a soft, quiet, tough, and durable rain garment. Made from a Polyester brushed tricot knit, with an eco-friendly 80/20 DWR (80% water-free in spray tests after 20 washes).
The outer layer, or shell as it is sometimes known, has a big job to do. It is your best form of defence against wind, rain, and snow. Choose a garment that will do all of the above, not just by fabric, but by DESIGN!
Great jacket, love the new material! So good I’ll be ordering some trousers to go along with the jacket on the wetter days!

Good Quality Jacket
Very impressed with my Kagoule, true to size and super comfortable and soft jacket. Have worn it out on multiple hikes and has performed super well protecting me well while out on the tops. The chest pocket is huge and able to fit a heap in there. It would be nice to have a warmer “kangaroo” pocket (with a warm liner?) to stick your hands in while waiting around!
Would definitely recommend the Kagoule!

Where is the kangaroo?
Nice garment, very comfy. I’am still looking for the kangaroo in the big front pocket but could not find it….
I would prefer to have the big front pocket separated from the sides hand pockets, but it’s no problem at all !
And a fleece lining in the hand pockets would be nice too.
Very rainy hunt yesterday, the sleeves of my shirt were a bit damp but I guess I should have tightened the wrists… my bad…
Just this afternoon, another hunter wanted to buy my jacket which he thought was great! Swazy will conquer France !

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.
