A top-tube accessory bag with two velcro loop attachments. Mounts behind your handlebar stem to provide easy access to muesli bars, gels, a squashed banana, your cellphone, bike tools, maps, fireworks … and whatever else it is you like to keep handy.

Also mounts to the seat post end of your top tube so you can double-mount for extra storage.

The Glove Box doubles as a waist-bag with a low-profile waist strap fixed unobtrusively to the back so it's never in the way, but there when you need it.

Webbing loops on the front store essential items, and an internal mesh pocket and high-vis lining help you organise and access your valuables with ease.

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

The Henry backpack is our fast and light adventure pack for a big day, or even weekend, out. Top loading to handle different size loads easily, we’ve kept things as minimal as possible, using lightweight fabrics where feasible, to enable you to forget about the pack and get on with the task at hand.

The reasonably large main bag will mean adventure racers and speed freaks will push the limits of what is viable with such a lightweight bag, yet the C-Aircell harness and shoulder straps keep the comfort levels high enough for a ultra lightweight multi day MTB trip. A shock cord compression system allows easy stowage of a jacket on the outside, and our oversized lid means lots of storage and maintains protection for the main bag closure if the bag is full or if you’ve got stuff under the lid. Run, hike, bike, ski, you name it - the Henry backpack is your number 1 lightweight option.

• Easy access side pockets with one handed closures so you can get to food or water bottles on the go
• A mesh pocket on the back panel
• Internal hydro sleeve with convenient routing for the tube to keep you hydrated
• Bladder tube retainer on the shoulder straps to keep the tube handy. The tube runs on the outside of the shoulder strap, not internally where it could end up rubbing you the wrong way
• External shock cord for excess clothing, and for load compression to keep things stable on your back

Our enduring, streamlined solution for mountain bike trips and running around the hills, or everyday urban existence. The Zero is a unit you hardly know you're wearing - until you need it, that is, when like the proverbial black hole it will consume just about anything you can throw at it (can fit a 6 pack of beer and still have room for a vege burger and chips).

The Zero is our choice for riding the Heaphy or Old Ghost Road, sit low for riding uphill and crank it down for the bumps. It'll take the cheese rolls and dates and it won't torque your lumber like a bum bag. 

• Mesh phone/wallet/keys pocket for the daily essentials
• Hydro sleeve bladder holder to keep you going up the last big hill of the day
• C-Aircell padded back and straps for comfort, and a 25mm waist belt to keep things stable
• External shock cord for load compression and/or that extra item of clothing

A stylish, functional, and Cactus-tough roll-top back pack.

The Ruckus is our ideal backpack for urban life – fits your laptop, lunch, bike lock, spare jacket, and still has room for that copy of The Luminaries you haven't finished reading yet.

• Internal mesh zip stash pocket, and external low-profile zip pocket –  for the detritus of urban life.
• The external sleeve is perfect for storing spare shoes or jandals.
• Slim profile for stealth and comfort.
• Roll, latch, cinch – adjust the volume to your needs with a roll-top closure that's quick and easy to use, secure and weatherproof.
• Cactus 'Device Drop Redundancy' design. The internal sleeve sits up from the base of the pack, to protect your laptop from meeting the concrete when you set down or drop your pack.
• Bike-light attachment tab.

Made by happy people right here in our factory on Lichfield St, Christchurch, NZ.

Hangdog Shorts are a reinvention of our classic Hangdog climbing shorts from the 90s. Only nowadays they've been revamped to suit to a more holistic, lifestyle-based approach to recreating outdoors.

Hangdogs are made from a soft but durable polycotton drill fabric that also has a wee bit of mechanical stretch. We've rigorously wear-tested these by spending heaps of time out biking and climbing in the Port Hills. Product development can be a hard job eh, but someone's gotta do it! We've come to the firm conclusion that Hangdogs are the ultimate go-to shorts for doing good, active stuff outdoors, and they don't leave you feeling like a dork at the cafe or bbq afterwards.

Available in any colour, as long as it's black.

• Low-profile zippered thigh pocket
• Reflective strip above back pocket (safety first)
• Triple stitched crotch
• YKK zips
• Lifetime warranty on faulty materials and workpersonship
• Made right here in NZ (of course)

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
• 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
