Fabric & Care

280gsm Polar Fleece

You've not worn a decent fleece garment until you have tried one of Swazi's fleece garments. Unlike other brands of fleece, Swazi's 280gsm high-quality, plush Polar Fleece is built tough but comfy. No scratchy, squeaky fleece here, it's quality all the way

Layer

Mid or Outer Layer

Our number one selling fleece garment, the Swazi hood, can be worn pretty much everywhere. On those really cold days, you can wear it as a mid layer and chuck a Tahr XP, a Wapiti, or Torrent over the top. One of the most versatile garments in our range, the boys love 'em, and the girls pinch 'em, which means another opportunity to buy it again in a different colour.

Conditions

MIld/Dry/Cold

Super tough for outdoors work on the farm, it is a great addition to your next hunt, on the sidelines or around the campfire.

Excellent Quality

Absolutely love my Swazi gear and The Hood is no exception. The fleece is really warm and durable I work on a farm so it’s important to have gear that can withstand a good beating and have been really impressed with how it has performed. Swazi is a brand I trust and associate with warm top quality gear made to last. Highly recommended The Hood and all of Swazi’s fleece range you will be highly satisfied with your purchase.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you have Swazi retail stores?

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.
