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.

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.

Code: PBPColours: Olive, Black Fabric: 280gsm Polar Fleece Size: S – 2XL $NZ 89.99

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

For over 15 years the Tahr Anorak has been recognised around the world as the very height of excellence in wet weather jackets. We’ve taken all those features that made the Tahr a standout winner and added handwarmer pockets, a scalloped tail and a new

storm closure, complete with waterproof zips. The Tahr XP is in a class of its own. Just

never feel like you’re too hot. All this and it looks

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!
