This all-natural, heavy duty, water repellent fabric wax is made from the highest quality beeswax and proprietary blend of of plant-based waxes and oils. No paraffin, silicone, or other petroleum-based synthetic ingredients.
This beeswax bar can be used to revive the waterproofing capabilities of our C-Canvas jackets, trousers and packs.
See the care tab below for how to apply it.
Specs
Ingredients
- Coconut oil
- Plant oil
- Beeswax
- Carnauba wax
-
Country / Region of manufacture: New Zealand
Applying the Bees Wax Bar
- Make sure your pants/jacket/pack is clean & dry
- Run the bar back and forth over the surface (this creates a friction for the wax to loosen). Get a good even spread of the wax across the surface.
- HEAT the wax into the surface using: a) A heat gun, b) A hair dryer on a HIGH setting, c) An iron set to a LOW SYNTHETIC setting
- You'll know it's worked when the wax is not white & sticky to touch. Re-apply heat until it is not longer white & sticky to touch - that's when you know it's been cured into the fabric and it's waterproof again.
- Leave overnight to dry and cure.

A simple shoulder bag for the modern urbanite. Please note - not all colours and sizes available at all times.
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

- 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.

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

- Fabric: 12oz Ultra C-Canvas
- Measurements: 41cm deep (or high whichever way you see it) x 15cm wide x 34cm long (along the zip)
- Our C-Canvas has a water resistant coating applied to it. To make this last as long as possible we recommend that you don’t wash it in a machine
- Brush dirt or crusty stuff from the bag once it is dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Drip dry without creases
- If your veggies do manage to make an escape bid through the bottom of your bag, drop it in to use and we’ll repair it for a small fee
