The story behind the name.
When Cactus does something, it often goes wrong but generally still ends up good. A good case in point was when we decided to take a Norbu (our brand new insulated jacket) to Norbu (a Sherpa friend we met while trekking in the Everest region last year).
We've written a full blog about it but suffice it to say Nepal is an incredible place, the Sherpa are incredible people and (humble brag) our new jacket is a pretty amazing piece of kit.

KEEPING IT TRANSPARENT: CACTUS AND HYBRID SOURCING
At Cactus, we’ve always been proudly Made in New Zealand. Since the earliest days in Wellington, and through our various Christchurch facilities, we’ve been the ones shouting from the rooftops about how important it is to protect and retain domestic manufacturing. Our co-founder Ben has seriously bored many a tramping hut dinner group with his theories about local manufacturing.
But today we’re announcing the next stage of Cactus, one which sees us embrace a hybrid model of sourcing. What this means in plain English is that some of our products will be sourced from partner factories offshore. We understand this may come as a surprise to many of our loyal customers and wanted to be upfront about what is happening,
