PARAGON VEST

$219.99

This men's gilet is windproof and capable as an outer layer when the cold bites but a full jacket feels like one layer too many. Fleece-lined with AEGIS® Windshield technology that keeps the core warm and your arms free without the extra weight.

FIT & SIZING

The Paragon Vest is designed to sit comfortably over your layers, with room through the chest and body while keeping the shoulders and arms free to move. The fleece lining adds warmth without making the vest feel restrictive, while the longer back gives you extra coverage where you need it.

  • Fit: Comfortable and roomy through the chest and body
  • Layering: Enough room to wear over a base layer or fleece
  • Shoulders & arms: Cut to leave your arms free without feeling restricted
  • Back: Scalloped back sits lower to give you extra coverage
  • Hem: Adjustable drawcord lets you bring the vest in for a closer fit
  • Overall feel: A generous outer-layer fit rather than a close-fitting gilet
  • Sizing: Your usual size should give you room for normal layers underneath

Men's Gilet

Sometimes a full jacket is one layer too many. The wind still needs dealing with — you just need your arms free to get on with it. The Paragon is a men's windproof gilet built for anyone who works or moves outdoors when the temperature drops. Cut from AEGIS® Windshield 3-Layer Chinook fabric with a luxurious fleece lining — windproof, breathable and warm where it counts without restricting movement at the shoulders.

A high collar keeps the wind off your neck. Two large hand warmer pockets and a chest pocket for your gear. Scalloped back and adjustable hem cord to lock the cold out at the bottom. Embroidered Swazi shield on the chest. Protects your core. Frees your arms. Gets the job done without getting in the way.

Best Vest

This is a grouse wind proof vest. Seems expensive for those who don’t usually wear them but for those that do, worth the coin.

I always like my vests to be snug so I purchased the small, usually a medium. Perfect.

Always loved the Kiwi design and quality. With most things, wish it was still made locally.

Keep up the good work Swazi

Too nice

A bit too nice to get dirt… almost. Cuts the wind well. A good extra layer. I swear Swazi are not paying me for these reviews, although I wish they would. Never fail.

Handy vest.

A relatively light and hardy vest. Warm and windproof so handy when I’m doing outdoor work like cutting wood (or minding the bbq… and a bottle of red).

Highly recommend.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you have Swazi retail stores?

We do have a Swazi shop right next door to Swazi HQ here in Levin, New Zealand.

We only sell our products through the very best retailers - we're very selective about who we have representing our gear! Find out where your nearest store is by clicking on the Swazi Stockists section or click here for the quick link.

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.

How do I know what size I need?

Every individual product page has a link to our size chart.
