FIT & SIZING
The Tahr XP is made to go over your other layers, so it has a bit of extra room through the chest and body rather than sitting tight. There’s plenty of space to wear a fleece or warm mid layer underneath, while the longer back gives you extra coverage when you're out in wet weather.
Roomier through the chest and body so it doesn’t feel tight
Space underneath for a fleece or warm mid layer
Longer at the back to give you extra coverage
Stretch in the fabric makes it easier to move, bend and reach

Hunt high and dry.
The Tahr XP has been recognised around the world as one of the finest wet weather hunting anoraks going — and for good reason. Built from Gen III AEGIS® Watershield Whisper fabric — a soft, quiet polyester brushed tricot knit with a PU laminate rated to 20,000mm waterhead and an eco-friendly 80/20 DWR that holds up to 20 washes — it keeps you dry without giving your position away. Silent enough for the stalk, tough enough for the long days out in real rain. Pit zips dump heat fast when you're pushing hard up a ridge. Long scalloped tail directs water away from your legs whether you're walking or sitting and glassing for game.
Extra-long YKK® water-resistant chest zip for easy on and off and fast temperature control. Storm flap keeps wind and rain from sneaking through the zip. Adjustable waistline cinches to block wind and rain from all directions. Hand-warmer chest pockets with water-resistant zips. High-periphery hood with back adjuster and one-handed cord. Rolls into its own hood for easy packing. The benchmark for serious wet weather hunting gear — built in New Zealand and trusted since 1994.

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!

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.
