NEW COLOR IN MIDNIGHT: Anyone who spends time outdoors in cold weather knows you need to protect your core temperature. And while wind chill is always the enemy you don’t always need a full-on windproof jacket on milder days.
That’s why we ditched the sleeves and made the windproof Paragon Vest. Think freedom of movement for fishing or even, dare we say it, golf? While The Paragon is designed for getting outdoors, it’s smart enough for getting down to business as well.
The AEGIS® Windshield technology and a luxurious fleece lining will keep you warm while letting your body breathe whether you’re swinging the billy (Google it) or an axe.
If you're ordering from outside New Zealand, your country might add its own duties or customs fees when your Swazi gear arrives - These charges are out of our hands, so just be aware that you might need to pay them to collect your parcel. If you’re unsure, it’s worth checking with your local customs office first.
📬 Order Confirmations & Updates
We keep you in the loop - You’ll get a confirmation email once your order’s placed, and another with tracking info the moment it ships.
✅ Trusted by Thousands

I love vests and am very fussy about them. I have been looking for a new vest for about 12 months and now I have found the ultimate.
What a fantastic product keep up the good work.

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.

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.
