Carry less, travel more.
Our new Tahr Ultralite is the ultimate light weight shell jacket or outer layer. Made from SWAZI's proprietary AEGIS® Strata fabric and weighing in at just 484 grams (size Large) or 17 ounces, you might need to remind yourself you packed it.
Designed to repel the rain and bend the wind, it's great for the weight conscious. Ideal for tahr and chamois hunting, alpine sheep or goat hunts, back country fishing trips, or a carry along for hunting Africa - runners, hikers, walkers... in fact, anytime you need to conserve weight and bulk.
The full length, anorak style is always a favourite, covering the top part of your legs and keeping more of you dry.
Featuring a fully adjustable kickass Swazi wired hood with easy to use cord stoppers, velcro and elasticated cuffs, long take, hand-warmer pockets and a waist drawcord to stop the wind coming up from below.
Hunt smarter in the new Swazi Tahr Ultralite.

Awesome jacket
5 foot 2 active female, went with a size Small.
Got this for tramping and haven’t been disappointed! I prefer the anorak style and had been after this one for a while as everything else just feels like I’ll overheat.
Did all day in the wild spring rain weather along 32km of exposed roads, forest tracks and 90kmh tops along the Wainui coast, stayed cosy and dry!
Took on an overnight trip into hills over the weekend and it was ace over a fleece when the wind came up. Thing to note: this isn’t one of those jackets that feels super warm, it’s a secure feeling wind and water barrier that works well with other layers for insulation.
I like the length and the cuffs, long zip is good for venting heat and the storm flap is a good and necessary addition.
Pockets are well placed and like having the option of drawstrings at the waist and the hem. I chose the stone colourway and it looks choice with my tussock Swazi fleece.
I’m really pleased I got this. I know it’s more than I’d usually pay but I took a punt and don’t regret it at all.

Better than you think
The first thing I noticed was how light this jacket is. It has way more coverage than my old Columbia garbage rain jacket and weighs less. The material feels waterproof yet somewhat breathable and the attention to detail is astounding. I like that there are cinch points at the bottom of the jacket, the waist, the collar, and the hood. Plus, the zipper goes down far enough so you can get by wearing it for a little longer as you start to heat up in the morning. This was only my first weekend really using the thing, but with a downpour and high winds, I won't think of another jacket to take with me going foward. Thanks Swazi for making awesome gear

Have worn this a my primary raincoat for two guiding seasons
Have worn this a my primary raincoat for two guiding seasons and have been constantly amazed at its ability to keep me dry while being super breathable. It rolls up to the size of a loaf of vogels and drys quickly in the hut at night. I have been careful with it although its seen its fair share of west coat monkey scrub. Top shelf for ultralight.
