Nature never compromises. It sets the conditions, and we adapt or go home – giving new meaning to the phrase “take it or leave it”.
The Windriver winter jacket lets you stay and play when the wind blows up – it’s the perfect versatile outer shell or winter jacket. We've used AEGIS® Windshield fabric to create our most breathable, windproof jacket. The breathability part is key - given that your body can sweat over a litre of water per hour when you’re pushing it hard.
We’ve given the Windriver deep pockets for your gear, plus a domed and touch-taped chest pocket. With a long cut for coverage, the cunning side vents are also zippered to open when you need that extra leg movement on the hill. The detachable hood (based on our original Tahr hood), has a wired peak to aid excellent peripheral vision.
Nothing beats The Windriver for windy conditions on the farm and in the hills – it’s even smart enough to wear to town.

Amazing gear!
My first time I heard about Swazi when I hunted in New Zealand in 2018. Shane our guide had this sick hunting gear and I really like the long jackets. At first I wasn’t sure about the fleece but holy cow does it keep you warm.
I’ve ordered Swazi gear for 6 years now. Your discount/promotions under ”COOLSHIT”. It that time to buy. I’m from Minnesota so the snow and cold these jackets are phenomenal. I deer hunt, bird hunt and recently went bear hunting in Alaska.
When I go to other places people always comment on the jackets, pants, shirts etc. I’m always telling people how awesome this brand is.
I never post or review ever but very happy to share my experience and can’t wait to see what’s new this year!

Timeless favorite
I've Owned a Swazi Windriver Jacket for around 20 years now. It is the best bit of gear I've ever had in my kit. On a recent return visit to the hunting outfit I worked for in British Columbia years ago, I handed over my original Windriver jacket to a keen, up and coming wrangler- guide, that now works for the outfit.
On my arrival home, I wasted no time in putting in an order to Swazi for another brand new Windriver jacket.

Windriver Jacket
Do yourself a favour and pickup one of these jackets.I now have 2 and gave another one to a close mate as a gift.It's a great well made garment and i took mine to the Victorian high country here in Australia last week.
Zips are chunky & solid ykk's.
I wear it to the shops and love it.
Does tend to run abit large & went with a Small size for me and my mate.They fit like a glove without being restrictive too.
Thanks swazi team
