Downhill mountain bikers. Like the young guy I came across recently while I was out training for this year’s Coast to Coast. He was sat down cradling his collarbone, which he’d just broken. He looked up at me and the first thing he said was “Is my bike OK Mr.?” I guess I feel a synergy with people who take responsibility for their own actions. He wasn’t blaming anyone for his dilemma. He’d taken a crazy chance on a jump that was a stretch too far and was happy to take the consequences. You know what? I bet when his injury heals that young bloke will give that jump another attempt too. If you’ve got a TV keep an eye out for my TV series, UNTAMED. There are 9 exciting episodes of SWAZI® adventures from around the globe – check out how to view at my website www.daveyhughes.tv Don’t forget to join the Clan on our website if you haven’t already done so, heaps of deals and of course, a Birthday Surprise!

WELCOME it seems we’re part of a dying breed - companies who can use this label
For years there was global recognition of the fact here in New Zealand, Kiwi companies made some of the very best outdoor clothing on the planet. That kind of changed when most of our outdoor companies realized there was a whole lot more moolah to be had by shipping production and jobs offshore. At SWAZI®, plenty of our staff are active outdoors people. We know it’s not only the design, it’s the craft, care and passion that goes into every single SWAZI® garment that makes it so durable. So reliable. Which is why we make every inch of it right here - and we always will.

1. Base Layer
2. Mid Layer
3. Outer Layer
The layer you wear next to your skin. It is important this layer can wick away moisture vapour to ensure your micro-climate (the thin layer of air next to your skin) remains at a constant temperature, around 32-33˚C.
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!

Max Wirihana the worthy winner of our Win a Hunt comp.
At first, I was speechless. The photo competition was closed and thanks to my amazing social network I had won. I couldn’t believe it! The day came for me to leave my family especially my Grandad and I was so excited. I met up with Scott Jordan from CRCS Outdoors and two other keen hunters at Auckland airport. We were soon on our way to Leithen Valley, South Island for a hunting experience of a lifetime. A couple of hours after arriving at Leithen Valley, we were off hunting. I witnessed one of the other hunters (J.T) knock over a fallow hind just on dark. The next few days were unforgettable. It was my first time deer stalking; I was used to crashing through thick bush chasing pigs. This was completely different. After six shocking shots I finally landed my first fallow hind. A few hours later, I dropped another with just a single bullet. Finally the day came for the big one. After glassing the area for a while, our guide Logan Morton spots a few Red Stags. We were off! We watched them for a couple of hours, but all we could see were their antlers. After repositioning, the wind was in our favour and we soon found ourselves within twenty metres of them! They bolted! Luckily they ran into an open area, one stopped for a second, I pulled the trigger! I lifted my head to see my first Red Stag dropped with one bullet. The feeling is still indescribable. For winning the competition, I was awarded two fallow hinds and a Red Stag. But due to the generosity of the Leithen Valley team I was allowed to hunt a ram and fallow stag. My Granddad is still very jealous. I’d like to thank Davey and the Swazi team for making it happen and gifting me a classic Tahr Anorak. To Scott Jordan, Hunter and JT from CRCS Outdoors in America, it was nice meeting keen hunters like you guys! The crew down in Leithen Valley a big thankyou for your hospitality. And finally to all the people who voted for the photo I would not have won if it wasn’t for you all. Cheers, Max

What kills most folk when lost is panic. Raw, blind uncontrollable panic. So here’s a tip. Sit down! Tell yourself you’re not lost, merely confused. Find yourself by a stream – hey, make a brew. Talk aloud if it eases your mind. You need to get over the panic pretty quick, or the next symptom to appear down the pipe will be despair. Focus on a good reason to get out, kids, family, loved ones. It’s about being positive. Damn, it can even be fun being lost! The drive is to get home, so let’s think with a clear head. Time to get un-lost. What was your last known location? A high ridge, a creek crossing or track? Can you backtrack to that spot? You know, most people in the bush get lost within a kilometer of a track or hut. Shut your eyes. Was the last known position to the east or west – it’s a little bit like at home when you’ve put your keys down… the way to find them is to go back in time, slowly recounting where, when and what you were doing. Look like you may have to spend the night out? Then without travelling far from your position make an early camp, gather firewood, build a shelter - while it’s still light. A night out lost is an adventure. Yell that out 5 times. Sleep on it, you may come up with the answer. If not, stay put by water – don’t panic, help will soon be on it’s way.

I’m Patrick Thoms,
SWAZI® Cutting Room Manager. I was born and bred in Masterton and moved to Foxton when I was 15 to work at the Foxton Fries factory. I did just about every job imaginable there from forklift driving to working on the line, nightshifts and all. It was where I learnt what hard work was all about. I left for Australia when I was 20 and that’s where I met my wife and where our boys were born. We came back home to New Zealand after 13 years and after 3 years at RJ’s Licorice in Levin a friend mentioned that Davey and Margie were looking for a storeman and I was lucky enough to get the job. That was 7 years ago.
When you’re in the back-country you
often have to depend on yourself, simply because there is no-one else around. So
its imperative to have gear you can rely on. There’s no better, or more versatile shirt than the Back-40.
Made from a heavyweight polar fleece
the Back-40 features a long-cut tail to keep your back warm while working
hard, high zip up collar, domed cuffs and

The day I started, they gave me a Cattledog to read and it was then I realised there was something missing from my life. I was really into sports when I was younger, and growing up in Masterton you were always out possum hunting, there was always a .22 somewhere nearby and there was always a farmer who was happy for you to go onto their land. So when I opened up the Cattledog, I went ‘ah- ha, that’s what’s been missing.’ So I got back into the bush and soon afterwards I got my first stag, and that was it, I was hooked. I just love being in the bush. I love spending nights in the bush. It’s not about getting an animal every time. When you do, you go through a lot of emotions sadness, because they’re magnificent animals. Elation, because it’s not easy and you work hard for the kill. And then there’s the roar, well that just makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. And to have your boys there with you, well that’s just something else. I’m sure other hunters will know what I’m talking about. You’ve got to respect the bush. You can easily get caught out. Don’t ever think that you’re better than the bush, it can catch out the best of them. And working at Swazi? Well this is an awesome place. It’s not just about making money, making a living, which you have to do. It’s about people. And they’re awesome people here. I couldn’t ask for anything more. We make something that people rely on to keep warm and dry, and it’s New Zealand made. It means it’s a bit more expensive, but I say to people, if you can afford the bit extra, you won’t regret it. If you’re on a budget, well I get that, but I say get one piece of Swazi. The other stuff is going to fall apart, we see it all the time, but your Swazi gear isn’t going to fall apart. That’s why people trust Swazi.

WINDSHIELD OUTER LAYERS Total all-round wind protection with extra warmth and comfort for when it comes in hard and cold! Windriver Jacket
Using AEGIS®
Windshield
fleece we’ve created the
most breathable and completely
windproof jacket available. What
does this mean?
Quite a lot. Especially considering under
heavy activity, your
body can perspire at 1 litre of water per hour. 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 the hills,
side vents are zippered to open. The main zip is a full
length chunky YKK two-way zip for maximum versatility. The Windriver is the best garment you will own,
whether on the farm, in the bush or downtown. Tora found his Windriver jacket 2 years after he lost it in the swamp. Apart from being a wee bit smelly and a little patchy with sun bleach he put it on and it all worked fine. We reckon his wife might not be so keen to buy him a replacement now!

NINA
I`ve always been a nature lover. Trekking, mountaineering, climbing, randone-skiing - and following friends hunting. After I got married, I realized there would be A LOT more hunting trips to take part in, so I thought; why not take the hunting license test myself. I’ve never looked back! What attracts me about hunting, along with experiencing nature, is the game itself. You have to be smarter than creatures with instincts and senses far beyond what humans can develop. It`s tricky, it`s difficult, it`s hard – and oh! so fun when you succeed. I mainly hunt birds and reindeer in my home of Norway. Abroad I have been hunting wild sheep, goats, deer, bear, wild boar, maral stags etc. My favourite is deer hunting. I love the majesty and unpredictable nature of these animals. And bear hunting always gives you a shuddering dose of adrenalin! So far my best hunting-trip was 3 weeks in NWT, Canada 2012. Breathtaking scenery, lots of animals, endless wilderness – and a double-header on Dall sheep together with my husband! As for the SWAZI®-gear; I never leave for any hunting trip without my favourite jacket, my Tahr Anorak. In summer, winter, storm, wind, rain, snow, cold… it`s simply a ”home away from home”!

valuable than that. You see, for me it’s just so much more rewarding to watch people
After a few days of skiing in Otago, Dad and I decided it was time to get out and go hunting. We dropped into the local DOC office and grabbed a tip about where to hopefully find a chamois. The next day we packed our packs and headed for the hills. Having a forecast predicting rain, we packed for the worst, but we were surprised by the sunny weather. After about half a day of walking and glassing, we finally spotted a buck feeding in the sunshine.
Since this was my first chamois hunt, I didn’t know what really to expect. Seeing a chamois for the first time was different, nothing like seeing a deer. Once we had spotted him we dropped into one of the guts below us and sneaked out of sight towards him. One shot through the neck with my .260 at 200m finished him off. The chamois was a nice buck with a thick winter coat, and had horns measuring 8 inches. I loved my first chamois hunt and my Swazi gear was a ‘must have’ throughout the hunt.
DAVEY’S FLAT MATES BACK STEAK RECIPE
By Daniel Coulter (13 years old)
This is a real simple and pretty quick meat and tatty dish for you and your flat mates to scoff down. If you want to impress the ladies, well, make a mushroom and pepper sauce and drizzle it over the chamois. If you’re plain hungry and just want a quick meal, forget the sauce. Ingredients:
Back steak of well-hung chamois (preferably a doe)
Kumara, Potatoes, Butternut, Two Garlic cloves, Pasta Genoese Basil Pesto
Method: Pre-heat the over to 180˚c. Cut up the vegetables and place in the oven in a well-oiled oven dish. Take a breather. Grab a brewski. Bring water to boil on the cooker for the pasta. Slice up the garlic and with a sharp knife, stab the chamois back steak and slip the garlic slithers into the meat. Righto. Timing challenge. Once the water is boiling add the pasta, now at the same time put the back steak onto the heat, if you have one use a steak pan with the raised ridges, no worries if you don’t. Have the pan oiled and plenty hot, turn the steak over once it browns. You can make some cool patterns on the meat if you do have a flash-as raised ridge meat pan…turn the steak twice in one direction and then twice in the other for a cool mesh pattern. People who buy their meat from the butchers will have all sorts of stories about only turn a steak once, but trust me, if you can keep the core of the back steak rare and the outer well seared, this is going to be heaven. Pasta: Take it off just before it’s fully cooked, place in a colander and it’ll finish al dente, that’s firm but not hard. Add two heap tablespoons of pesto (I use Genoese Pesto as it’s made from fresh basil) and stir well. Vegetables: Stick a sharp pointy knife in the vege, if the knife goes in easily and the vege is still crispy-ish, perfecto! Eat.

I am Nicola Bennie (16), & without my Swazi Bush shirt I would be like a stag with no antlers. Maybe it’s in my blood as mum & Ewan got married high in the Fiordland mountains wearing their Swazi. Mum’s wedding dress was her Tahr Anorak and Ewan wore his Wapiti Coat & Steevos.

Vee Top
Women’s Farm Sock
The bush shirts are perfect out fishing at sea; warm, comfy & user friendly. Mum doesn’t mind washing them either as the fishy odour easily washes out. I race cross country on my 250X and love the fact that I can wear my bush shirt under my race gear as it is comfortable without being bulky & keeps me warm as well as providing a cushy landing when I hit the dirt. My sisters Ruth, Kate & I often go hunting with Ewan & once again my Swazi bush shirt comes with me. We all wear them. They have to cope with stalking deer, keeping us calm & focused when we pull the trigger, gutting deer & carrying out the carcass, which they do with ease. As part of a farming family my Swazi bush shirt has no option but to get covered in sheep s..t, mud, hunting blood & Southland rain, just like the Swazi bush shirts the rest of my family wear. Kate is seven and is on her second bush shirt after getting her first one when she was just three. There is always Swazi in the laundry pile. I have one bush shirt that is my favourite even though it is way too small for me as I got it when I was about 12. I have successfully pinched three more off Ewan including an old original camo shirt. Great for possuming. I have been known to sleep in my Swazi shirt so have to admit that it is an all round favourite that I would hate to be without.

NZFOA Approved. But what does that mean? Since 2004 the Forest Owners Association has had guidelines outlining the specifications for high visibility clothing used by those engaged in forest silviculture and harvesting operations. The regulations provide for an industry to develop specifications for high visibility clothing which meet that particular industry’s needs. In 2012 the FOA guidelines were updated to incorporate more recent A/NZ standard specifications.

HI VISIBILITY RAINWEAR Buffalo Cape
The Cape Buffalo is one tough
SOB. How could such a lightweight cape as this be so tough then? It’s the way we build them.
Handcrafted with care and double
stitched seams with extra strength bar tacking on high stress points makes all the difference.
Long in the back for the rain
to fall off, short in the front for
working at full noise. The neoprene cuffs means less water rolling down your armpits, while the
collar has been cleverly engineered for wearing under a safety helmet.

We’ve taken our Famous Even in Cairo AEGIS® membrane and bonded it to a tougher-than-teak outer fabric. The same ultra durable outer fabric we use in our One Tough Mutha raingear. That’s because we know, just as you do, working outside is pretty feckin’ tough on clothing. Then we laminated a fleece liner on the inside for added insulation. Welcome to SWAZI HARDSHELL®. 100% windproof with proven breathability. The fabric that works every damn bit as hard as you do. We’ve created a range of practical no-nonsense HARDSHELL® outerwear for the guys who don’t run for the smoko shed every time the wind gets up. Our hivisibility orange has been tested and passed the most rigorous luminosity and chromaticity tests (that means it’s brighter than hell) to gain a world recognised safety certification.
When getting the job done is a given, and health and safety a must, SWAZI HARDSHELL® provides all the protection you’ll need from the elements and that means one thing, job’s right.

The Aviator
At SWAZI® we term this type of garment “Mission Critical Clothing” It’s when your role demands the utmost in high
performance clothing. Built for a purpose, not a price.
That’s why we tested the Aviator with the Palmerston North
Rescue Helicopter Service. The area they serve is large and the terrain incredibly vast, from the Tararua rainforests to the
unpredictable Tasman Sea, from the steep snow covered slopes
of Mt Ruapehu to the rugged Wairarapa hill country, they cover it all. Fact is, there aren’t that many “fine weather” rescues and we knew the crew would be putting The Aviator through it’s paces. There’s nothing quite like hanging out the door of a
helicopter in sub zero temperatures, balanced precariously on the skids, as you work a winch down through the tree
canopy to rescue an injured soul. When lives are at stake, you need focus and you need gear that allows you to concentrate on the job in hand.
The fabric is the highly breathable, wind and waterproof
SWAZI AEGIS®, with 3M® reflective bands (not the cheapest,
quite simply the best) to provide high night visibility. Strategically placed Kevlar® reinforced pads on high wear areas provide
durability and lay-flat pockets exactly where you need pockets. SWAZI® hi-visibility orange carries an internationally recognised
certification for luminosity and chromaticity. Of course, YKK®
waterproof zippers, not only on the main body, but on pant leg entry pockets means you stay dry.
