3 NEW FOR 201

TAHR XP New storm closure with waterproof zip

Large handwarmer pockets for gear and keeping hands out of the weather

Internal cuffs as well as touch tape outer cuffs

Scalloped tail provides quicker water shedding

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 HUGHES Levin, New Zealand

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

Driving through Levin? Stop in to the SWAZI® shop and have a look at the latest weird thing Davey found on his travels abroad. Meet Bruce the Moose and see if you can get your hands on a free pack of Moose Poose for the kids! While you’re there, you could always have a look through our spy-hole to see exactly where SWAZI® garments are made – heck you could even try on one or two. Who knows, you may even leave the shop with more than you came in with…… even if it is only a bag of Moose Poose!

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.

What is

?

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.

Why is

better ?

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.

How does

work ?

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

Wind is deflected from the membrane

Escaping Moisture vapour (perspiration)

Durable face fabric

MOISTURE VAPOUR (PERSPIRATION)

SWAZI® garments are legendary around the entire world for being, well quite honestly, for being the best there is.

We know weather and we know how to build crafted garments. At the end of the day, you are always going to get what you pay for.

ALL THREE LAYERS SHOULD ‘BREATHE’ ALLOWING MOISTURE VAPOUR TO PASS OFF THE SKIN & THROUGH YOUR LAYERED CLOTHING SYSTEM YOU 1 PROTECTS FROM WIND, RAIN, SLEET & SNOW

KEEPS YOUR BODY’S MICRO CLIMATE AT A CONSTANT TEMP

SKIN 1. BASE LAYER

2. MID LAYER

3. OUTER LAYER

The 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!

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.

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.

STEEVOS

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.

We had good, heated discussions (well, argy-bargy actually) on whether the Molesworth was actually more for leisure than function.

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.

With its modern, stylistic cut, wear it to town and once you’ve got it worn in….well, hang it, you’ll just have to wear it on the farm, won’t you?
