A wee while back Queen Elizabeth talked of an Annus horribilis.

I think last year was like that for many folk. A year of getting smacked about. Shoved in a barrel and rolled down a steep hill. A steep hill with a few bumps!

Is it behind us? As an eternal optimist, I bloody well hope so! I’m backing positive attitude along with a forward looking mindset that will replace much of the doom and gloom that surrounded the world through 2009.

I saw a lot of admirable character in people over the year. In fact, for myself I learnt an awful lot, much of it from young cowboys. About when you fall, you get back up. You dust yourself off.

Grit your teeth. Get going again. Let’s go.

There’s a fair bit of travel in this job, but over the past 12 months I really poured on the miles. I was lucky too.

Lucky in that I got to meet some of the most amazing people on the face of the planet. People who took time out to share with me their everyday adventures.

Some of the things we got up to were perhaps a touch crazy… while others may not be considered extreme at all. However, I found all were challenging and incredibly self-rewarding. Dave Abbott, an exceptionally talented cameraman from Whangarei, came along for the ride as we tested ourselves around the globe. We filmed seven outdoor Swazi adventures and are in the stage of editing those right now for TV. I reckon they’re pretty darn spectacular and I can’t wait to show them to you.

Why film them? I guess the answer lies in the fact that I wanted to illustrate to people, both young and old, that

Welcome! adventure does not always involve death-defying acts. Rather it often simply means going to new places, meeting new people, viewing yourself through new eyes. The most important factor is to get out there. Challenge yourself. Meet the challenge. Then, with a sly crooked grin and a glint in your eye, lift the bar a touch higher… What are you waiting for?

Catch you in the bush sometime!

SIMPLY, THE BEST! For many years around the world the serious hunter and outdoors person has depended on SWAZI to keep them dry, whatever the conditions. Our wet weather gear has set the benchmark for many to aspire to.

The hood enables excellent peripheral vision and has exceptional water shedding capability

®

New improved zip flap to keep out even the most extreme storm

We’ve made our wet weather gear lighter, yet stronger. The DWR (Durable Water Repellency) on the outer base fabric now lasts even longer, while new design features on both our Tahr Anoraks and Wapiti Coats ensure that when you buy a SWAZI® garment you’re making an investment in the very latest technology and craftmanship.

The Tahr Anorak® is made from a three-layer GORE-TEX® fabric which is soft, light, very quiet and of course, very waterproof.

Features include a radical new upper body design that gives an amazing 25% extra freedom of movement, a large bino pocket with elasticated bullet loops plus a modified, two tier, high peripheral vision hood. The inner conforms to the contours of your face, while the outer protrudes into an adjustable peak, stiffened with both a durable liner and hood wire.

Another excellent feature is the GORE-TEX® stretch cuff design, developed especially for folk who hate cold, icy water running down their elbows!

MADE FROM DURABLE WATERPROOF GORE-TEX® FABRIC

GORE-TEX OUTERWEAR ®

With such a wide variety of fabrics available, why do we continue to choose GORE-TEX® fabric as our mainstay in waterproof breathables?

It’s simple really. We find GORE-TEX® fabric is still one of the most durable, waterproof and breathable fabrics out there.

The microporous ePTFE membrane used in GORE-TEX® fabric contains nine billion pores per square inch (you can count them if you like…) Each

The hood enables excellent peripheral vision along with exceptional water shedding capability

pore is 20,000 times smaller than a raindrop but 700 times larger than a water molecule. This allows body vapour to pass through but keeps out the rain, wind and snow.

Large cargo pockets with handwarmers behind

Choosing a waterproof fabric is crucial to the performance of your garment, but of just as much importance is the design of the garment – to ensure that water will not pass through seams or closures.

All SWAZI® garment designs have been stringently tested and passed by a rain-room laboratory, as well as been tested in the field before going into stores, thus guaranteeing the waterproofness of your garment.

All that, plus GORE-TEX® outer-wear is backed by the Guaranteed To

WAPITI COAT

PLEASE NOTE: These lightweight jackets are designed for recreational use and are not designed for extended alpine wear (climbing/abseiling) or heavy farm use.

Keep You Dry® promise. SWAZI® wet weather garments offer you increased:

durability, warmth, waterproofness, breathability, comfort.

Waist belt with lock buckle to ensure pants stay up under load

For the outdoors person wanting a little extra refinement in high-performance rainwear, we’ve produced the Wapiti Coat from a soft, three layered GORE-TEX® fabric. Features include extra strong full length, two-way YKK® sliders. Bellowed cargo pockets (you can fit a box of shells in each) are backed by toasty handwarmers. There’s an inner map pocket, while the hood features our excellent new design. Sleeves and upper body are constructed to allow maximum freedom of movement.

The adjustable stretch GORE-TEX® cuffs provide the most comfortable wrist closures you will ever encounter – bar none!

The Wapiti is just as at home in the top of the Landsborough Code: GWC as it is watching the footy.

Of course, we added in practical SWAZI® features that enhance the One Tough Mutha’s all-round performance.

The hood is based on our all time favourite design – high vision with fantastic water shedding capability. The extra large chest pockets sit flat – until you need them that is.

Then they expand out to comfortably carry great amounts of important stuff. Stuff that you need of course.

The large hand pockets are wet pockets. Made to carry gear, or keep your hands out of the wind, they drain quickly when it’s wet. The inner dry pocket is there for notebooks, cellphones, baccy…

A lightweight rain jacket, it packs away good and compact, but when you need it most the Narwhal® Anorak will perform amazingly well. Long enough to cover your butt, great pockets for maps, radios or GPS and of course, that legendary SWAZI® hood design.

MORE BREATHAB ABOUT ANY OTHE GARMENT ON Using WL Gore’s WINDSTOPPER® fleece, we’ve created a range of clothing that is completely windproof yet is still very breathable.

In fact they are among the most breathable, totally windproof garments on the market.

ASSEGAI JACKET At last! A SWAZI® garment with a name you can easily pronounce... And like its namesake, the Assegai is very very sharp.

It’s lightweight, yet totally windproof. Water repellant, though extremely breathable. There’s a nice touch with the logo embroidery on the sleeve, plus the waterproof front zip we’ve engineered on the Assegai adds to the all-round weather protection provided by the ripstop WINDSTOPPER® fabric.

Sum it all up? Totally functional, extremely classy.

They reckon Northern pike on the barby is just beautiful. “Vacker!” as they say in Sweden says Yogi Rausch. “Vacker like a cracker” as we say here in Levin.

MOLESWORTH JACKET We had good, heated discussions (well, argy-bargy actually) on whether the Molesworth was actually more for leisure than function.

All said and done the Molesworth is one very functional jacket. Made from 320gm WINDSTOPPER® fleece, it has a low cut back, high collar and deep secure pockets.

With its modern, stylistic cut, wear it to town and once you’ve got it worn in….well, hang it, you’ll just have to wear it on the farm, won’t you?

WINDRIVER JACKET Using WL Gore’s WINDSTOPPER® fleece, we’ve created the most breathable and completely windproof jacket available. What does that mean? Quite a lot actually. Especially considering under heavy activity, your body can perspire at one litre of water per hour.

Features include amazing deep pockets for your stash, plus a domed and touchtaped chest pocket. (A big chest pocket.

Small pockets are a pain in the butt.)

The hood, based on our original Tahr hood, has a wired peak and excellent peripheral vision. There’s nothing better, trust us.

And it’s detachable.

When you need that extra leg movement on hills, side vents are zippered to open. The main zip is a big chunky YKK10 Vision two-way.

The Windriver is the best garment you will own, whether on the farm, in the bush or downtown.

If you really want to make gear that works, that is practical and tough, then you’ve got to get out and talk to the folk who use it – in their environment!

Maggie Hughes along with our Corporate Manager Flick Short, are out in the Te Manawa O Tuhoe Forest with Shane Perrett discussing gear and ideas for a new forestry range. The weather wasn’t the greatest, which strangely enough was what the guys were hoping for. “It was great to see the conditions the logging gangs have to put up with in their everyday jobs. We came away with some fantastic suggestions. Now we’ll take all of that information and brief the design team with what is really needed.”

We tried to kill them over months of indiscriminate testing on the farm but they just didn’t want to die.

Now you can sit down on damp ground, snow, wet motorbike or tractor seats... in fact anywhere that looks comfortable!

Don Jones is from Manhattan, Montana. It’s a tiny town, population around 1600 souls. Yet it’s a town full of hunters and outdoorsmen.

“Just about all my friends hunt.

They all look at my Swazi gear and get plumb jealous. It makes me laugh! I’ve tested it in some fairly rugged places here in the States and up in Canada too. It works. It works well.”

SWAZI FUNCTI FOR OUTDOO ®

At long last, a range of quality SWAZI® outdoor wear for the outdoors woman. First off, we craft our women’s range for function.

MARGOS Maggie, She-Who-MustBe-Obeyed, is responsible for this pant! Made out of a soft yet rugged micro fleece they are reinforced in the knees and derrière (is that a flash name for backside or what?) with a poly-webbing belt and good deep pockets.

The Margos are without a doubt the best working pants you’ll ever find.

MATIERE JACKET Like all SWAZI® gear, the Matiere was based on what our customers really wanted. We took that information and designed a jacket that would be as tough as it is comfortable. As practical as it is stylish (well, we all kind of think it looks pretty darn HOT for a farm jacket!), and as functional as it is fitting.

With its reinforced shoulders, back and front, the Matiere is superbly built for all the action you care to throw at it.

“It was one of those nights. I was down in Invercargill at a suppliers evening for dairy farmers. Anyway, pretty soon I’d got barrelled up by two or three of the ladies there. They loved our Twin Peaks tops, but wanted something a little longer on the back, slightly higher in the collar with a gutsy zip, plus a zippered pocket for a notebook. Reckoned it would be just great for calf feeding,” recounts Davey.

Sounding like a goer, we built a few and tested them throughout 2006. The verdict was unanimous. A warm, versatile top that not only performs exceptionally well, but it looks just great.

Lightweight micro-fleece fabrics are great for comfort, warmth and durability. They outperform traditional polyprop gear in all ways: strength, warmth, drying speed and odour reduction – that’s a really polite way of saying they don’t smell like a dead cat!

Great as a first layer for the bush, farm or sports training.

These organisations seek to improve the safety, comfort and productivity of their personnel, as well as to enhance their own corporate image.

We understand comfort and perhaps even more, we understand any gain to productivity goes straight to the bottom line. In our experience, gains of 30%, 40% and even more in productivity are often the norm. If you invest in great staff you’ll want to unleash them in the field. We’d welcome the opportunity to help you design and create garments to inspire, protect and motivate the people who make your organisation productive and profitable.

R COMPANY N BENEFIT FROM PRODUCTIVITY? It’s a fact. Well-designed, functional working apparel helps identify staff in the field and creates a positive team spirit amongst team members. Most importantly, while it keeps them warm, dry and safe, it also keeps them operating.

In many cases there will be an “off the shelf” solution to suit our clients. In other instances we may have to design from scratch. This can involve researching the particular operational needs of the client, sourcing fabric from global suppliers, producing prototypes and monitoring garment performance in the field. We are able to assist in all aspects of ensuring your garments are engineered to fit within current legislation and comply with the acceptable industry and governing standards.

More and more businesses are seeing the tangible benefits of supplying practical, comfortable and durable clothing appropriate to the tasks performed by their staff.

Whatever the requirements for your staff, whether we have an existing style, or we need to work closely with you to develop specialized products for specific jobs, please feel free to contact us at: corporate@swazi.co.nz or Telephone 06 368 4822.

There are not many “fine weather” rescues. Which is why Land SAR came to SWAZI ® to ensure their teams would be able to operate effectively in the very worst alpine conditions – and come home safe.

Out’n About with SWAZI

Each year we are lucky enough to become involved in so many aspects of our outdoor community. Sometimes it is in the form of sponsorship of an event, or a team. From time to time it’s some keen individual who has tickled us with their tenacity, gall or outright self-confidence! One thing is for sure.

Fun is a guaranteed component of any project involving SWAZI®.

When we asked Davey about this year he replied, “Diverse.” Which upon reflection really sums it up quite nicely. Young people played a big part yet again in where we went and what we did, with Davey giving talks across New Zealand to Agriculture ITO graduates down in Alexandra, The Maori Womens Development Inc. at Otaki, National Bank Business seminars, plus about twenty other venues. Full on yet again!

SWAZI® also got out and sponsored many events and organisations, The Mt Lyford Farmers Challenge – along with the kids run too! SWAZI® Junior Deerstalkers shoots happened throughout the nation and a very cool event was judging the Levin Palmers Giant Pumpkin Competition.

In between filming seven episodes of his upcoming TV series, Adventures in Wild Places, Davey managed to get in the odd bit of training and competed as an individual in the Speights Coast to Coast. “Thank goodness I had a clothing company sponsor me in that event. Man, did we

Wayne said, “It was a childhood dream of mine, going to Alaska. Swazi made it a reality and I’ve got to tell you, the trip was everything they said it would be. The absolute trip

of a lifetime.” In fact, the trip was such a raging success we are now going to run a hunting and/or photographic trip to Africa for one lucky customer. Every purchase gives you a chance to win and in Waynes words, “Someone has to win!”

Thanks to all the customers who have sent in their amazing images. We’ve never seen so many of them. If you are driving through Levin, or Geraldine in the South Island, call into the SWAZI® Shop, we’d love to see you.
