Humans have been sandwiching layers of feathers between fabric to stay warm for thousands of years. You might be surprised to learn that the modern puffer jacket is over a hundred years old. George Finch, an Australian chemist and mountaineer, made the first one from balloon fabric and eiderdown way back in 1922.
We reckon old George would have killed for one of our new Puffadder Jackets. This men’s puffer jacket has a detachable hood, and the outer fabric is showerproof Gen II Strata®.
We’ve packed it with our super lightweight, breathable comfortemp® insulation fibre, which is soooo much easier to clean and care for than feathers or old school down insulation.
The Puffadder can be rolled into its hood – doing double duty as a travel pillow when you want to get your head down.
Pull one on and you'll instantly feel the Puffadder’s warmth. It’s a good looking, easy insulated jacket you can count on in cold conditions.

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.
