As a petite woman (1,60 meters tall) I was worried if I would ever find a smock that fits my small body size. I chose size S which allows me to wear a sweater and vest underneath. I use the smock both for hunting and walking my dog on rainy days, which keeps me perfectly dry and warm. The only thing I would change is the material/fit in the chin area as it keeps scratching my skin a little when not wearing a scarf. Also, the elastic around the waist hangs a lot lower due to my small size. None the less, I am very happy with the smock and would definitely recommend it to a friend!

I'm tempted to leave it at that. Swazi have led the way in outdoor wear and I've finally decided to treat myself... "alright Sheila, keep your hair on!"... been allowed to treat myself to the top of the range, Swazi Tahr. I was so keen to receive the real McCoy I ordered it direct from Oz to ship to me in Blighty (UK) . The delivery was superb, tracked it online all the way and it arrived well packaged. The only problem I have now is, I love it so much I darent wear the thing... I stalk around the house and slip off to have a quick try on whenever I can. It feels pristine, the new stretch fabric is a major leap in tech in my opinion and the fact is, you know you're wearing reel quality. After the drubbing the Ozzies gave us in this years ashes, believe me, no one wanted to leave a bad review more than me, so that should speak volumes. 😁

Some people might think this isn't a serious enough review but all I can say is, outdoorsmen and survival experts around the world have given the Swazi Tahr their blessing and all the reviews about the seams, the fit, the materials are all true so no one really needs another endorsement from me. The best thing is, they're a down to earth company who look after people.

Thank you indeed…

This is my go to “You’re not heading out into that shite, are you? Seriously?” garment. When you want your own personal tent to snuggle into and feel snug ‘n’ smug, whilst the elements rage all around and even the dog is thinking of heading for home!! Not too fancy, with two big basic outside pockets that will get wet along the bottom seam. Design flaw? Nope. These are where you will be stuffing wet hands, cuffs of sleeves, hats and gloves. These pockets are designed to deal with wet stuff. Hands up all who have spotted the tiny drain hole in the bottom corner? You see, those cunning little b****rs at Swazi have thought of everything! Hah! Massive front vent with just the right amount of Velcro (narrow, not wide and noisy) strip over the waterproof zip. Generous neoprene inner cuff, so you can wave to your companions and chuckle as the rain dribbles down into their armpits as they’re forced to wave back…Tough mate, should’ve bought a decent jacket straight off! Hah! (Again!) And as for the “legendary Swazi hood” that Big D is always banging on about. Well…he’s right! Excellent protection. Gorgeous periphy vision. Ridiculously easy clever little dangly bits to cinch it all up with one gloved hand. Be aware this is not a particularly warm garment, so if it’s cold I insist on giving myself a warm layer underneath. Little storm blowing through here the day after tomorrow with the Met Office forecasting winds at 32 knots gusting 57. If you spot a Tussock Green…

I bought the Tahr XP for deer stalking in the highlands of Schotland. A lot of real Schottish weather like a lot of horizontal rain. The tahr survived this extreme weather and I remained rather dry. After 6 hours of heavy rain the low end of the tahr as the sleeves got saturated.
