A Swazi favourite. This fleece hoodie sits as a mid layer when the cold moves in and something heavier goes over the top. Snug hood, high collar, extra-long tail and snug cuffs that lock the warmth in at both ends.

FIT & SIZING

The Swazi Hood is designed as a comfortable mid layer, with enough room through the chest and body to wear over a base layer without feeling bulky. Its longer back gives you extra coverage when bending or moving, while the snug cuffs and high collar help keep the fleece sitting comfortably under a jacket.

  • Fit: Comfortable through the chest and body without feeling too loose
  • Layering: Designed to wear over a base layer and under a waterproof or windproof jacket
  • Back: Extra-long tail sits lower at the back for better coverage when bending or moving
  • Arms: Comfortable through the sleeves, with snug cuffs that keep them in place
  • Neck: High collar sits close around the neck for extra warmth
  • Overall feel: Warm and comfortable without the bulk of a heavy outer layer
  • Sizing: Your usual size should give you the intended fit over a base layer

FREE NZ Delivery on orders $200+

Fleece Hoodie

Pull it on. Layer up. The Hood does its job as a mid layer without getting in the way of whatever goes over the top. A 280gsm polar fleece hoodie built to sit under a waterproof or windproof when the temperature drops and the weather turns. Warm enough to earn its place, low-profile enough not to get in the way of whatever goes over the top.

A snug fleece hood and high collar keep the cold off your neck and head without bunching under an outer layer. An extra-long chest zip dumps heat fast when you're moving hard. Large zipped chest pocket holds your phone, your snacks and whatever else the day calls for. Extended long tail covers your back end when you bend. Snug cuffs stay where they're put and lock the warmth in. Warm, versatile and the kind of layer that gets pulled on first and stays on longest — whatever the day looks like.

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
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.

Best purchase I've had for a while

Since buying this fleece top I have worn it almost everyday - great watching the kids rugby from the sidelines, or walking the dog, to going out with mates. Great buy and breathable and warm.

And I firmly believe it makes me look slimmer by making me blend in with surrounding foliage!

The business

These bad boys are the absolute business. I live in them. I have 2 black ones that I rotate, I wear them every single day over the winter, have been trying to kill them for several years but they won't die. They get treated really badly, but still in great shape. The pocket is awesome, perfect spot for my phone when I'm on the tractor. I just bought this cool green one to have as my going to town or mooching around the house Hoodie, because they are so comfortable, but I wanted a seperate one that I knew wouldn't have woodchips or possum blood on it. Tino pai.

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.
