Size Guide
Features

In Nepal, the Sherpa take on a myriad of tasks - guiding, carrying, cooking and cajoling Westerners on their journeys. When designing our new insulated jacket, these were the attributes we wanted to emulate.

Like every Cactus product, the Norbu (named after a guide during one of our Himalayan sojourns) is a simple, solid, subtle and utterly reliable product. We’ve always been about making good sh*t that lasts a long time and the Norbu is no different.

Using synthetic insulation means it is more tolerant to a bit of moisture - be it rain from the outside or sweat from within. As you’d expect, it sports legendary tough YKK zips and our proprietary “tough arse” reinforcement.

Most importantly, it was designed with our 30-plus years of engineering know-how, and all the long-lasting Cactus toughness that brings. 

Don't need the hood? Check out our (in Rob's words), "corporately smart" collared version!

Care
  • Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
  • Do not machine wash
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not iron

Pretty sure the Norbu will be my new favorite Jacket

Loving it, and thanks for the size swap for no charge, maybe the sizing chart was a bit difficult to follow as it indicated I needed bigger than a Medium and but I got the Med, but that was too big so exchanged with the Small, as I said, no cost to me so Awesome from Cactus, but just something to be aware of. Also, the hood is very large without and doesn't have drawstrings, again just an observation. Still love it and will be my go to for SAR and Hunting. Thanks Cactus

My new favourite jacket

What I LOVE about this jacket: Its not down filled so it won't go clumpy when I wash it. Its a bit longer at the back so the rain won't soak my pants. Its not a bulky fat puffa. Its shower & wind proof - proving useful this spring. Its navy - my current go-to colour.
