Experience unparalleled protection and comfort in the wild with the Swazi Windriver Jacket in Tussock. Engineered as the ultimate windproof fleece outer layer, this jacket is designed for the demanding conditions of New Zealand's diverse landscapes and beyond. Whether facing strong alpine winds or bitter southerlies on the farm, the Windriver provides exceptional defence against the elements.

Swazi has masterfully combined the renowned comfort and quietness of soft fleece with an impenetrable windproof barrier. This creates a highly versatile outer shell that excels across a range of outdoor pursuits, from backcountry adventures and extended hikes to daily rural tasks. It is a trusted choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable performance and enduring quality.

The superior performance of the Windriver Jacket stems from Swazi's exclusive AEGIS® Windshield fabric. This advanced 3-layer softshell system features a breathable, polyurethane windproof membrane expertly sandwiched between two layers of incredibly tough, yet exceptionally soft fleece. This innovative construction ensures 100% blockage of biting winds and effectively sheds light rain, while actively allowing your body to release excess moisture during strenuous activity. Thoughtfully designed with an extended drop tail, a detachable wired-peak hood, and generously sized pockets, this jacket embodies practical outdoor engineering.
