Men wear shorts whenever we can because we bloody love them! There’s also a damn good chance you’re about to do something fun when you wake up and pull on a pair that have been ‘resting’ on the floor.
Swazi’s 210gsm Micro Driback Men’s Fleece Shorts are the epitome of comfort and ease of movement: shorts you’ll find practical and tough as nails, with coverage to protect your rear from the damp, and good deep pockets.
They’re made to dry exceptionally fast after river crossings, rainy walks or beach fishing sessions - and they’ll stay warm even when wet. Plus, in your trusty fleece shorts, you can sit on wet sand or grass without getting a wet ass thanks to the AEGIS® waterproof liner in the backside.

Perfect for Hawaii
Awesome shorts that keep you dry and cool at the same time. If it wasn’t for international shipping and customs duties I’d only own Swazi.

Awesome winter shorts
These Micro Driback shorts are awesome. They do everything I need perfectly, they keep your bits warm and your butt dry if you slip over or sit down. Great for cooler months, I couldn't were them in warmer months. They are stretchy and allow my legs to move freely, without pulling across my thigh or getting tight in the groin, while climbing up and down slippery banks.
The only gripe I have is the belt was a little tight while putting them on. I brought them on special, they were a great buy. If there was a zipped pockets option I would definitely upgrade to those for my next pair.

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.
