Meet The Hood, it's our top-selling Swazi garment, what makes it so iconic you ask? It has this effect that once you put it on, you'll never want to take it off... It's that go-to hood that you chuck on when you're having a couple of beers in the shed, or in the hut. Whether you're out for a fish, or taking the dog for a walk, you know that when you've got your Hood you'll be sweet as no matter the weather.
The Hood has had a bit of a tweak, now with a more discrete pocket you can stash your stashables within reach. The plushest 280gsm polar fleece is what makes it so snug and toasty and it features a long back to keep those vitals covered no matter the weather.
You're not a true Swazi fan if you don't own a Hood. We're not talking about the one you pinched from your mate or partner (yeah, we know you do it).

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.

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.
