BAGS

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

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

We’ve updated the TUB, it is now longer but narrower.  It will accommodate a typical spirit level and handsaw.

The addition of two zipped external pockets provides trouble free retrieval of keys, passport, wallets, phones and the like.

Originally designed for the tradesman but has proven perfect for all sorts of activities; travel, the gym, sales, shopping etc.

This tough bag has comfortable seatbelt webbing for handles and a reinforced bottom so you can chuck it anywhere and put anything in it.

Complies with Air New Zealand cabin size carry on.

• C-canvas & C-1000n6 fabric for strength

• YKK zips

• Strong Cactus 25mm webbing with nylon side release buckles at each end for compression

• 50mm Polyester seatbelt webbing

• Reinforced base for strength and also to create a solid platform so easy access to clothes and whatnot

• Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship

• Comes in 3 colour options. Black, Ocean or Olive 

Classic, easy on the eye chalkbags which are made right here in New Zealand and won’t break the bank. What more could you want?

They come in a a huge range of colours (note: pictures indicator only) so you can accessorise with your shoes/hair/tats.

Truly awesome holiday heroes at the smaller end of the scale, or a huge gear bag for expeditions and sales trips at the larger end.

One of the four sizes of Big Burly Bag (or BBB) is bound to meet your needs. You’ll never have to see your stuff strewn across the baggage collection area again as beefy fabrics, reinforcing where needed, heavy duty YKK zips and load relief straps across the zips mean the BBB easily meets the legendary Cactus durability requirements.

To avoid the polyester/cotton C-Canvas versus fully synthetic C-1000n6 argument we thought it was easiest to offer the BBB’s in both, with different colours to choose from too. You don't have a choice for size large though (which is massive). It only comes in Black Cordura.

We can’t stop you going over the weight limit, but the XS BBB does meet the maximum size limits for most airline carry-on luggage.
