SWAZI® GARMENTS ARE PROUDLY MADE IN NEW ZEALAND.
SWAZI® World Headquarters are based in Levin, in the North Island of New Zealand.
Internal cuffs as well as touch tape outer cuffs
New storm closure with waterproof zip
Scalloped tail provides quicker water shedding
Large handwarmer pockets for gear and keeping hands out of the weather
For years hunters and outdoorsmen have relied on the SWAZI® Tahr Anorak to keep them warm and dry, no matter what the weather, no matter where on the planet they adventure. This year we’re super excited about introducing the all new Tahr XP. Every inch of the XP reflects the same pedigree as its predecessor, yet its revolutionary pocket design and scalloped water-shedding tail put it in a class of its own. Outdoor experts and writers have long acknowledged the Tahr was a breakthrough in waterproof protection, now the XP lifts the bar and sets a totally new level in equipment for the serious hunter.

DAVEY HUGHESLevin, New Zealand
It never ceases to amaze me what
people get up to while wearing their
SWAZI® gear. Each year we receive
dozens of stories and literally hundreds of
photos of customers who push boundaries,
venture forth on crazy exploits and
escapades. In fact, virtually every single
day Jaime B., our Communication Manager,
shows me a picture or a written document
of quests and deeds. I usually
look at them in awe and drop
a comment like, “Crazy bastards...
you have got to be kidding!”
Keep an eye out for the Isuzu D-Max SWAZI® Limited Edition. Sat Nav, leather seats, grunty tyres... it’s a real beast! Get to the Isuzu website, find your local dealer, then book a test drive and see for yourself. www.isuzuutes.co.nz

Escaping Moisture vapour (perspiration)
What is ?
Why is better ?
A windproof, waterproof and breathable membrane made from PTFE. It is the most breathable membrane we have ever incorporated in SWAZI® garments.
We use the AEGIS® membrane in both our Watershield (wet weather) and Windshield (windproof) fabrics.
Three-layered AEGIS® provides you with absolute protection from rain, snow and the wind, at the same time allowing your moisture vapour to pass through the unique Watershield membrane. This process gives you incredible protection from the elements, allowing you to operate at the highest levels of outdoor performance
The fabrics we spent two years developing have proven in trials to be every bit as waterproof and windproof as our old fabrics. What these product trials also showed was enhanced breathability, a vital factor for determining the comfort of any waterproof garment.
It is important to use fabrics that perform. What is actually even more important is to design garments which utilise those performance fabrics so customers can benefit from them. SWAZI® implicitly understands the design process, enabling us to design and craft the very best in wind and rainwear in the world.
Everyone knows if you want the very best in garments to keep you dry, then SWAZI® is the answer. Our wet weather gear is legendary.
Our big challenge was how do we make it even better?
The next generation of wet weather fabric from SWAZI®.
Developed by SWAZI® and tested in the New Zealand mountain environment, it is a quantum leap forward in providing comfort and safety to outdoorsmen.

1. BASE LAYER 2. MID LAYER 3. OUTER LAYERThe layer you wear next to your skin. It is important this layer can wick away moisture vapour to ensure your micro-climate (the thin layer of air next to your skin) remains at a constant temperature, around 32-33˚C.
Also known as the insulating layer, these garments are worn over your base layer. The key to comfort and warmth is to stay dry, trapping warm air within your clothing system.
The outer layer, or shell as it is sometimes known, has a big job to do. It is your best form of defence against wind, rain and snow. Choose a garment that will do all of the above, not just by fabric, but by DESIGN!

A little bit ‘Men in Tights’ perhaps? Nonetheless, if you’re after a light pair of thermal pants that are great for tramping or wearing
around camp, then our Micro Pants can’t be beaten. Of course, there are those who
enjoy the feel of bush lawyer and stinging nettle on their
bare legs...

The best of both worlds. A thermal top that not only keeps you warm, but doesn’t overheat when worn under another top. The Micro Singlet has an
extra long back so when you bend over it won’t ride up. Combine this with an action fit, next-to-the-skin pure soft comfort and the legendary SWAZI® durability... Mate, it’s a must!

SWAZI® BASE LAYERS
Davey loves his Micro Shirt, especially on the tops.
The Micro Shirt is a terrific winter top. A high polo-type collar with a lightweight zip allows you to control upper body temperature when things start to get steamy. We’ve cut the back extra long, so it won’t ride up under your pack. A thumb loop on the sleeve helps keep hands warm on those extra frosty mornings.
If you are concerned about performance, weight and bulk, the SWAZI® Micro Top will fit the bill. Made from our super-soft 140gsm microfleece it packs down extra small. The long cut means it won’t ride up while you travel, plus it delivers amazing comfort and warmth. A real SWAZI® “Must Have”.
When it’s wet, it’s cold and… well, when certain parts of our anatomy get cold...
hang, we’re sure you know the feeling! Enter our amazing Jewel Bags! They are extremely
comfortable in all temperatures, dry incredibly quickly and offer great support.

Tahr hunting is the Sport of Kings. So says Gareth Hall. Jono Groters never takes off his SWAZI® gear... not even for a shower!
Made from 100% cotton moleskin, Moleys are the most comfortable, hardwearing shorts you will ever own. Bar none. Double stitched pockets that refuse to hole, bar tacked side
seams and vents for extra strength, plus a cut which gives you awesome freedom of movement to climb hills or straddle your 4-wheeler.
“I bought my first SWAZI® gear back when I’d just turned 16, in fact it was this very Bush Shirt - and I’m still wearing it! As a hunter and outfitter you can be sure I’ve given the shirt hell, but it just keeps bouncing back. Just one of the reasons why I trust
the SWAZI® brand.”Billy Sandulak, Trophy Stone Outfitting, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
What are you after in a pair of shorts? Comfort, ease of movement, long lasting fabric, good deep pockets... These 210gsm Micro Driback® Shorts are all of the above, plus they dry exceptionally quickly for river crossings or surf casting at the beach. Includes an AEGIS® liner – to keep your backside dry.

If ever there was a garment bound for “Classic Glory”, it would be the Micro Dribacks®. The 210gsm microfleece is just right for all but the coldest winter. The AEGIS® liner is seam sealed to provide a waterproof seat. Plus the in-built webbing belt has loops placed to enable you to attach your knife pouch
directly onto the pants - so no need for a separate belt. SWAZI® Micro
Dribacks® are made for the outdoorsman who is serious about
moving fast, moving light and moving in comfort.

These pants have been put through the ringer... seriously. We tried to kill them over months of indiscriminate testing on the farm but they just didn’t want to die. Probably something to do with the warm, tough microfleece we use in their construction, or the special reinforced backside, or the straight legs with reinforced knees… Short of hanging them from a tree and using them as shotty practice we reckon these pants will last generations. Check ‘em out.
Righto! We all know the feeling of sitting on wet ground. As a rule, the most comfortable place to stop for a rest is usually the most damp. Soft, spongy moss... mmmm.
The AEGIS® fabric sewn to the seat of the Driback® pants is seam sealed, so it stops water completely!
Now you can sit down on damp ground, snow, wet motorbike or
tractor seats... in fact anywhere that looks comfortable!
Nigel Sexton keeps a watchful eye from his lookout.
These are the very best pants you’ll ever wear. From their innovative designs and the very best fabric available to the finest New Zealand craftsmanship, we stand behind every pair. That’s what makes SWAZI® so fundamentally different.

We call them Bush Pants because that’s where we designed them to be worn, but they are so comfortable we bet you end up living in them! Made from 280gsm fleece, they’re quick to dry, so don’t worry about getting wet in river crossings. Easy to move in, silent to sneak about in, made to take the knocks and scrapes.

All said and done the Molesworth is one very functional jacket. Made from 320gsm AEGIS® Windshield fleece, it has a low cut back, high collar and deep secure pockets.

Using AEGIS® Windshield fleece, we’ve created the most breathable and completely windproof jacket available. Features include amazing deep pockets for your stash, plus a domed and touch-taped chest pocket. The hood, based on
our original Tahr hood, has a wired peak and excellent peripheral vision. And it’s detachable. When you need that extra leg movement on hills, side vents are zippered to open. The main zip is a big chunky YKK10 Vision two-way.
The Windriver is the best garment you will own, whether on the farm, in the bush or downtown.
DAVEY’S NOTE: I travel the world hunting, often in extreme climates. The Windriver Jacket is the very first garment I pack. Every trip.
Made from AEGIS® Windshield Fleece, 4WD Pants are built for exceptional comfort. They breathe brilliantly, even
in temperate conditions. An attached webbing belt and a zipper fly makes
them easy to get on and off, with zippered cuffs to make it easy to get in

NARWHAL® ANORAK® KLONDYKE JACKETDreamed up while Davey was starting his 2nd
day of the Coast to Coast on Klondyke Corner, this usually scenic location was pouring down with torrential rain. Davey decided to design a new leisure rain jacket for casual wear, with all the protection and style you’d expect from SWAZI®. Perfect for watching the rugby or kids playing sports, it’s the no-nonsense lightweight jacket
with plenty of horsepower to shed the elements
should you require.

The inner conforms to the contours of your face, while the outer protrudes into an adjustable peak, stiffened with both a durable liner and hood wire. Another excellent feature is the AEGIS® stretch cuff design, developed especially for folk who hate cold, icy water running down their elbows!

If you are going to name a product after a tough customer like the Cape Buffalo – well, you’d better make pretty darned sure that product is tough enough! Our SWAZI® Buffalo Bag
is just that. Bonded polyester thread, reinforced shoulders, top grade webbing – every stitch, every feature designed to ensure you get
the toughest bag on the market. The bumbag is separated from the main pikau by an ingenious one-piece canvas wall to prevent seepage from meat or capes into the lower bag. Unfolded, the Buffalo Bag zips out to make a large and comfortable daybag. Belt locks have independent locking systems and the ergonomic design aids with heavy carries, adding balance and control.
We really do listen to our customers. So when Glen Hartstone came to us with his design for a flexible carry system that will sit snug on your back and out of the way, but then be able to fold out into a massive meat sack, we followed his advice.
The lightweight canvas liner is perfect for carrying meat and keeping it clean and tidy.
This ultra light bag is perfect for throwing in your main pack while travelling and pulling out for those day hunts.

Even in a year that has flashed past
so quickly there were always highlights
which stopped us during our daily
routine here at SWAZI® and made us go,
“Wow!” SWAZI® people
are out there and doing it,
making a difference, making
us take note, or quite simply
making us laugh.
One project which touched us
all as we got in behind it was the
campaign we ran with RD1 for the
Breast Cancer Research Trust. We
created an awesome Limited Edition
pink microfleece top which was sold
on the SWAZI® website, as well as in each RD1 store nationwide.
All profit from the shirts went to the BCRT and it was great when
Davey, along with RD1 Managing Director Jason Minkhorst,
presented the Trust with a cheque for over $13,000!
It wouldn’t be a year to remember without someone
getting married in SWAZI® gear – and so it was when Sarah
and Pete tied the knot. What made the story even more of a
fairytale was when we put out an SOS in the Clan newsletter
for a dressmaker and ended up with a florist as well.
On the sports front we sponsored many teams and
individuals, among them a crazy bunch of Swazi-ites who raced
their car from London to Mongolia
in something reminiscent of the
Great Race! Davey and Sharee
Harper, our SWAZI® GM, joined
forces to compete in the Speights
Coast to Coast race from one side
of New Zealand to the other, and
Maggie Hughes jumped on her bike
to claim gold in the last cycle leg
of the same race – awesome!
We continued our support of
Land Search and Rescue, the young
Deerstalkers shooting competitions
and heaps more across the land. To all of you who got out there
and had a go… good on you!
