Swazi Brocco Shirt
Your Go-To Mid/Layer for NZ’s Rugged Outdoors
When the dawn chill hits and the sun hasn’t quite brought the warmth yet, you need gear that adapts. The Brocco Shirt brings together lightweight warmth, layering versatility and field-ready durability- designed for hunters, hikers, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who won’t compromise.
Key Features & Benefits:
Crafted from 140 gsm micro-fleece - ultra-soft next to skin, light enough to wear on its own on mild days, and ideal as a mid-layer when the temperature drops.
Long chest zip for instant venting and temperature control when you’re working hard uphill or glassing in the sun.
Thumb loops and an extended cut to keep sleeves in place and wrists warm - perfect for stalking or pack-hauling.
Fitted hood designed to sit comfortably over a cap or beanie, offering extra warmth on cold snaps or exposed ridgelines.
Packs down incredibly small - great as a lightweight backup layer or even a makeshift pillow at camp.
Why It’s a Perfect Fit for Hamills Taupō:
Whether you’re gearing up for the roar, heading into the back-country, or chasing trout at first light:
Wear it as a mid-layer for cool starts - micro-fleece keeps you warm without adding bulk.
Use the chest zip to dump heat when you’re on the move.
Thumb loops stop sleeves riding up while stalking or climbing.
Neutral colours blend naturally into bush and open terrain.
Works seamlessly with merino base layers and weatherproof shells for a full layering system.
Fit & Sizing:
Sizes range from XS–4XL depending on colour. Fit is true-to-size with a comfortable active cut. Size Guide
Here’s some helpful Swazi measuring tips to ensure you get the right size first time round.
- Keep the tape measure firm, but not tight. Sometimes it’s easier is another person helps you.
- To measure your chest/bust make sure your arms are out at the sides then measure around your upper body, under your armpits and over the fullest part of your chest and shoulders blades; keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.
- Use your exact measurements when selecting your size.
