Now we can say that we can dress you head to toe in good quality kit.

We're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like all things Cactus, we've made sure that these ones will go the distance. We did the ultimate test and made Rob wear a pair. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*

For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer. 

The Cactus socks come in black and in three sizes. Made in New Zealand.

*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing.

We’ve been using lots of our Ultra C-Canvas lately and it’s such a nice fabric we couldn’t resist making a day to-day bag out of it.

Once again the theme with this one is simplicity and durability. Given how varied our customers are we aren’t even going to try and guess what you might want to carry in your Witness, but we’ve designed it to be perfect size for everyday use if you don't like to be burdened with too much excess stuff.

• The main bag has enough space for a book or two, your iPhone (no doubt), and your lunch
• The medium Witness will fit most tablets (painkillers or the digital kind) or a small laptop
• An internal pocket with sections for your wallet, phone, and pens.
• Easily adjustable shoulder strap
• Grippin Buckle flap closure - fast, secure and lasts forever
• Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship

Based on our popular Do-Gooder tote bag, the Do-Betterer is a larger, wider and … betterer version.

The tub-style design features a flat base so it sits open, ready to be loaded with everything you need for your daily missions.

Do-Betterers were designed with grocery or market shopping in mind, but they're ideal for a range of other uses too:

• Great for picnics
• Carry a family-size pile of sandy towels and soggy togs
• Big enough to fit a good range of tools
• Rob can fit at least a week's supply of frozen pies and tommy sauce into one of these

The Do-Betterer is a super-handy, go-anywhere, do-anything carry bag. It's strong enough to carry super heavy loads, and will last you for years and years. Keep it by the back door and use it every day.

• Made by happy people in the Cactus workshop in Christchurch, NZ
• Ultra C-Canvas is super tough and durable
• Two dome closures keep your stuff from spilling out
• Backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workpersonship

Meet the Do-Gooder - don’t let it’s simplicity distract you from it’s complete awesomeness!

Here at the Cactus HQ we get our choice of all the packs and bags we sell, and the one the you’ll see us with more than anything else is the Do-Gooder. It started out as reusable shopping bag that would really go the distance, but once we made a few we quickly realised it had far more potential than that.

You’ll see us bring our lunch and office essentials to work in a Do-Gooder, stuffing the roadtrip “get at them while you’re driving” bit and pieces in one, carrying muddy cycling shoes and helmets around, and loading them with beers and sausages when it’s BBQ time. At the farmers market the Do-Gooder makes the other pseudo-eco plastic bag alternatives look disposable.

We wanted Cactus tough, so 12oz C-Canvas was the obvious choice - it’s so tough we carried Jan in it round the office. Your guess as to how much she weighs, but more than Rob (who back when he was a climber referred to his forearms as “Da Boyz”) could carry in one hand! Cactus durability means it’ll last a really long time, and of course it comes with a lifetime warranty even though we doubt you’ll need it. It’s also easily repairable. Yes, long lasting and repairable - that’s all good stuff for the environment we reckon.

• Super durable and washable proofed European 12oz C-Canvas
• Deep enough for good carrying capacity
• Pre-bent straps that stay on your shoulder
• Internal pocket to make sure your phone/wallet/keys aren't always at the bottom
• Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship
