A Swazi favourite, now carrying the NZTF logo. This fleece hoodie sits as a mid layer when the cold moves in and something heavier goes over the top. Snug hood, high collar, extra-long tail and snug cuffs that lock the warmth in at both ends.
Carrying the NZTF logo, every piece in the capsule puts money straight back into NZTF’s work. Gear you’ll use in the hills, backing the herds you hunt.
Please allow 3 working days from order to shipping while we print your NZTF design.

FIT & SIZING
The Swazi Hood is designed as a comfortable mid layer, with enough room through the chest and body to wear over a base layer without feeling bulky. Its longer back gives you extra coverage when bending or moving, while the snug cuffs and high collar help keep the fleece sitting comfortably under a jacket.
Fit: Comfortable through the chest and body without feeling too loose
Layering: Designed to wear over a base layer and under a waterproof or windproof jacket
Back: Extra-long tail sits lower at the back for better coverage when bending or moving
Arms: Comfortable through the sleeves, with snug cuffs that keep them in place
Neck: High collar sits close around the neck for extra warmth
Overall feel: Warm and comfortable without the bulk of a heavy outer layer
Sizing: Your usual size should give you the intended fit over a base layer

Fleece Hoodie
Pull it on. Layer up. This version of The Hood carries the NZTF logo — and a substantial share of every sale goes directly to the Foundation’s work protecting New Zealand’s tahr. The Hood does its job as a mid layer without getting in the way of whatever goes over the top. A 280gsm polar fleece hoodie built to sit under a waterproof or windproof when the temperature drops and the weather turns. Warm enough to earn its place, low-profile enough not to get in the way of whatever goes over the top.
A snug fleece hood and high collar keep the cold off your neck and head without bunching under an outer layer. An extra-long chest zip dumps heat fast when you’re moving hard. Large zipped chest pocket holds your phone, your snacks and whatever else the day calls for. Extended long tail covers your back end when you bend. Snug cuffs stay where they’re put and lock the warmth in. Warm, versatile and the kind of layer that gets pulled on first and stays on longest — whatever the day looks like.
Please allow 3 days from order to shipping while we print your NZTF design.

Fabric & Care
280gsm Polar Fleece
You've not worn a decent fleece garment until you have tried one of Swazi's fleece garments. Unlike other brands of fleece, Swazi's 280gsm high-quality, plush Polar Fleece is built tough but comfy. No scratchy, squeaky fleece here, it's quality all the way
Layer
Mid or Outer Layer
Our number one selling fleece garment, the Swazi hood, can be worn pretty much everywhere. On those really cold days, you can wear it as a mid layer and chuck a Tahr XP, a Wapiti, or Torrent over the top. One of the most versatile garments in our range, the boys love 'em, and the girls pinch 'em, which means another opportunity to buy it again in a different colour.

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.
