If you simply have to get on with a job – no matter how cold and windy it is – you owe it to yourself to stay warm. The same applies to those windy, winter fishing missions. You need a simple tough outer layer that blocks the cold and wind yet leaves you free to move. You need the extra strong variety of fleece hoodie. You need The Fed.
The Fed fleece hoodie is built for hard work and play. Made from our thickest 350gsm Polar Fleece, it’s also reinforced at the shoulders and lower back with our AEGIS® WINDSHIELD 3-layer Chinook panels – perfect for hauling a heavy pack.
The shortened sleeves leave you free to run a saw or cast a beach rod. They’re just right for any sort of wet work too. Layer up underneath with a merino thermal for extra protection and warm your hands in the large kangaroo pocket when it’s time to take a break.
We’re real people, ready to help - Need sizing advice, delivery info, or help with an order? Our customer service team is on hand to make it easy.
🐑 Heads up — a quick word on customs
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.

This one works for me
I like the Fed. It's warm, copes with being thrown around, and the short arms work particularly well for me. With a T-shirt, or thermal, it does for outside, in the current cold blast, and under a waterproof layer is excellent for all conditions to date.

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.
