Cactus have teamed up with Lanaco to create a highly efficient, portable Face Mask. We’ve placed Lanaco’s HELIX® Filter Media - an innovative natural wool filter - into a soft cotton outer. And voila, protection against harmful particles, pollution, bacteria and virus. The HELIX®Filter Media, scientifically tested within an inch of its life, proves kiwi sheep have got the goods to protect their two legged friends. In fact it’s so good, NASA are currently testing it to protect their space team.

The Face Mask

There's a whole lot of info on why it's so good below (click for a non-magnifying glass version)!  But in a nutshell:

• The wool-filter is designed to be more than twice as easy to breathe through than standard masks.
• The HELIX® filter media used in the mask filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. 
• We've designed it to seal snugly around the face for superior protection.
• Made in NZ - 100% cotton outer and a NZ wool-filter.

IMPORTANT: 

• This Face Mask is a consumer product. It is not a respirator. It is not a medical device. 
• This Face Mask is not PPE certified. 
• The filter is tested in-house to P2/N95 level, but the Face Mask as a whole has not been tested. 
• This Face Mask is not machine washable (check care tab for further information) 
• This Face Mask does not have replaceable filters, but can be used more than once (check care tab for further information)

We've bought the Banana Rope Manager back. This rope bag is a Kiwi classic, and it's built to last.

Heaps of people asked us to make these again, so we've done a limited, special edition run of them. 

The banana shape means an easy over the shoulder carry, and the sheet protects your rope from the dirt, adding to its lifespan. It’s a great place to put your shoes on too, keeping them clean for the send, and avoiding polishing the bottom holds of your route – good for you and the crag!

• Made in NZ
• Enough room for your rope, draws, and harness.
• 38mm webbing shoulder sling, for carrying comfort
• Small outside zip secured pocket for car keys or other wee cragging essentials
• Twin 25mm side release straps with grippin buckles to keep things from coming apart – at least before you get onto the rock

The Cactus Hip Bag is a modern incarnation of the classic Cactus Scumbag.
The larger carrying capacity, internal utility sleeves and super-supportive padded waist belt make the Hip Bag a little more versatile, and a little more user-friendly.
Originally conceived for cyclists, the Hip Bag fulfils a variety of alternative end-uses:

• Travel – keep your rubles, lira, ringgits or dinar close to hand when roving far-flung quarters
• Events commerce – stash the takings from your organic yoghurt sandals booth at this summer's Luminate festival
• Climbing – cut a lap on any multi-pitch without the burden of a backpack to hold your GUs and topo
• Running – the stability and comfort of the padded waistband will help you get wherever it is you're off to in such a hurry
• Dog walking – provides a handy reservoir of meaty treats

Features include:

• Large main compartment plus zipped front pocket
• Internal accessory sleeves
• Reflective strip
• Padded, adjustable waist belt
• C-Aircell mesh fabric backing
• Made in Christchurch, NZ
• Lifetime warranty on materials and workpersonship

Our Leather Belts are made from super tough buffalo hide and it doesn't get much stronger than that.

No one wants to see your tighty whities, or if you want to be a wee bit smart for a night out, dig out your denim supertrousers and whip on a Cactus leather belt. Good to go.

Embossed with a subtle Cactus at the tip of the belt.

Made right here in Christchurch, NZ.

Check the sizing chart in the tab below before choosing your number. We have matched the belt numbers to Cactus pant sizes.

If you're looking for a length different to those in the sizing tab below, send us an email or give us a call on 0800 122 682 with the length (cm) around your waist where you would wear the belt.

There's nothing better than after a summers day than chilling out with a cold one on a hammock after an awesome day of bike riding or working hard on the house renos. A Cactus Hammock is also great for holiday reading or that mid afternoon snooze. 

Thanks to Jeremy, a design student of Otago Polytechnic, Cactus can now offer their first 12oz Canvas Hammock. He cleverly designed this and he's thought of everything including a pillow system, drinks holder and simple rigging system. 

It packs down to carry size so it's super practical for throwing in the car and taking to your favourite camping spot or the family bach.

Fits one person comfortably, two at a squeeze. We tested its load by putting three blokes and a dog in it and it held but we wouldn't recommend it. 

Made from our super tough C-Canvas, the Cactus Bean Bag is suitable for chilling out in indoor or covered outdoor use. 

Fabrics: Ultra is our classic, super-durable 12oz C-Canvas.

This bag comes empty. Fill with the stuffing of your choice - beans, foam padding, old jerseys... If you're going for the bean option, we'd recommend a 100L bag for super sloppy, 150L for the perfect balance or 200L for a firm seat (or for that 'showroom' perfect look). For a kind to the environment bean fill, check out FriendlyPak's bean bag fill - they have a maize starch based foam bead which performs like polystyrene beans but they're 100% biodegradable and compostable.

Bean Bags made right here in the Cactus workshop and are a great gift for yourself or someone who loves a good chillax.

Outstanding durability is the stock in trade of these puppies. The SPG glove addresses the hand care needs of ski patrollers, Alaskan ice climbers, Antarctic scientists, and maybe even you - assuming you are looking for a wear resistant, warm, maintainable solution for work and play in cold conditions.

It's important to note that as SPG's are made of a natural material (cowhide) slight surface imperfections and variances in size may occur - this is all part of the fun and beauty of natural fabrics and is something to be applauded rather than denigrated

Please note - these are made of natural leather so there will be variation in the glove pairs. No two gloves will be the same (special eh!) This won't effect the performance of the gloves.
