Waterproof Hunting Jacket
No one ever stopped mid-job to wish their pack was heavier. So we built the Tahr Ultralite — and this version carries the NZTF logo, with a substantial share of every sale going directly to the Foundation’s work protecting New Zealand’s tahr. Built for the same country the Foundation works to protect. A men’s waterproof jacket that does the hard yards without the dead weight. At just 500g, it’s your outer layer when the sky turns and the wind picks up. Gen II AEGIS® Watershield 3-Layer Strata fabric. 100% waterproof, windproof and breathable, rated to 20,000mm.
Tough enough to take a hiding. Quiet enough for the bush. Velcro-adjustable cuffs keep water off your arm when it matters. Water-resistant zips all round. Rolls into its own hood when the sun shows up. Part of the lightweight collection — built for hunters, farmers, workers and anyone who spends their days outdoors and needs gear that holds up when the weather doesn’t. Carry less. Do more. Get home dry.
Please allow 3 days from order to shipping while we print your NZTF design.

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.

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.
