The Swazi Kagoule has more features built into than any other Swazi garment. It is a high performance rain coat designed for hunting, but can also double up as a smart around town coat too - perfect for both town and country. The Kagoule offers exceptional functionality for hunting/farming, with a weather-resistant chest pocket and rubber chest label for holding a radio and antenna access. Also includes an opening for microphone access. Perfect for radio contact while hunting/farming. The Kagoule has a 3-way kangaroo pocket with water resistant zips for storage and hand warmth. It also comes with a 'Pit Zips', a zip that runs under the armpit to allow you to open it if you need to offload any body heat when hard at work. Again, all with water resistant zips. Swazi's high-periphery vision hood has an internal foam-coated wire on the outer rim, acting as a visor that can be molded to fit your head for rain and eye protection. It also features 3 adjustable and lockable pull cords for custom sizing without affecting peripheral vision. The Kagoule has a waterproof rating of 20,000mm. The minimum standard for a jacket to be waterproof is 1,500mm so a jacket with a waterproof rating of 2,000mm would be suitable for moderate rain. Its breathability rating is 10,000g/m2 24hr. Breathability, in a few words, refers to how well (or poorly) a fabric allows your sweat (or, in technical parlance “moisture vapor”) and body heat to pass through it from inside to out. 10,000g/m2 24hr is the ideal measure for more active use in high-output activities, including hiking, farming, hunting and mountaineering.
