Swazi launches The Hood sweatshirt

Respected around the globe, award-winning cult hunting clothing brand Swazi Apparel has unveiled a stylish and practical polar fleece – The Hood.

Providing warmth and protection against the elements, the hoody’s stand-out feature is a long zip which makes it quick and easy to take on and off.

Made in New Zealand at Swazi’s factory nestled under the Tararua Mountains, The Hood is made from 280gsm polar fleece. It is long cut to retain warmth and comes with a handy zipped chest pocket.

Davey Hughes, founder and creative director at Swazi Apparel commented: “I believe a lot of innovation comes from necessity. The Swazi team is made up by a lot of hunters, who are out in the field, wearing our gear all the time, so they understand the requirements for a good outdoor garment. I was camping out on a really windy, cold morning, wearing one of our global favourite garments, the Swazi Bush Shirt which has been in our stable for 23 years, when I came up with the idea to add a hood. The Hood was designed to act as an extra collar, stopping the wind going down the back of your neck and that’s where the name came from.”

RRP: £79.95, Sizes: S-XXXL, Colours: Black, Olive or Tussock Green
