NEW COLOUR IN OLIVE: The wind drives us crazy – always has, always will. But you don’t have to put up with it.
Sure, it's a bit nippy out. And the wind is whistling. Somewhat out of tune. Your friends are saying how cold they are. Not you – you’re warm and comfortable in your Strait Women’s windbreaker jacket. Maybe even smiling on the inside as you enjoy the cut comfort and women ’s-specific cut.
The 3-layer Windshield fabric we use in our Strait Jacket keeps you snug even in the strongest wind, yet because the fabric breathes so well, you'll never get too hot. All this and it looks terrific. Of course, you deserve one.
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.

Strait Jacket
5th jacket like this we have purchased. 4 on line and 10 yrs ago we called in at the factory when on a road trip from Dunedin and brought one for Kathy, her first Brilliant for Dunedin's colder winter days.

Versatile jacket
This is a well designed jacket and quite versatile as a single jacket. It's sized a little generous so you can add layers underneath if need be, or wear as a comfortable shell. For the ladies that desires a snug look, get one size smaller

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.
