The base layer is where it all starts. Build it right and the rest of the day follows. The Talisman is a women's Nuyarn® Merino base layer built for all conditions — warmer when it's cold, cooler when it's warm and warm enough to hold its own even when wet. Nuyarn® technology delivers 35% more thermal retention, 50% more durability and 53% more wind resistance than conventional Merino, with 35% more elasticity that moves with you and snaps back without losing its shape.

Moisture-wicking fabric keeps your core dry whether you're pushing hard or standing still. Odour resistant enough for multi-day trips without complaint. Dries five times faster than conventional Merino — which means a river crossing or a heavy day out doesn't have to stay a problem for long. Made from a highly sustainable product. The kind of base layer that earns its place on every trip and holds up long after the trip is done.

The Talisan

I absolutely love my talisman. It is so warm, doesn’t get smelly. Love the colour range also. Have recommended to other friends. Was real easy to order on line.

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.
