Just when you thought you couldn't get anything better than merino for outdoor work or play... we bring you Cactus merino!
So what's so blimin good about it? In a nutshell:
The secret is in how the fibres are held together. Traditionally, fibres are twisted together for strength but in the process, the ends poke out, giving materials like wool their characteristic of the itchy Grandmas home knitted jersey feel.
Like wringing out a cloth, air pockets are squeezed out too. Cactus Merino on the other hand, lays the fibres along the same orientation as the rest of the yarn, so fabrics feel more comfortable. Because more of the insulating air is retained, Cactus merino materials are warmer and loftier than ring spun materials.

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.
Hangdog Shorts 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 slimming 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)
• Polycotton Drill (60% Polyester, 40% Cotton) with mechanical stretch.

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
- Volume: 29 Litres
- Weight: 750 Grams
- Measurements: 470 x 200 x 250mm
- Fabrics: C-210n6, C-60n66, Aircell, NZ origin foams
- Our pack fabrics have an internal water proof coating and an external DWR coating. For increased longevity of these coatings we do not recommend machine washing
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
- Drip dry without creases

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.

• 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

• Weight: 420grams or 500grams (Canvas)
• Volume: 11L
• Dimensions: 46cm high, 25cm wide, 9cm thick
- Our pack fabrics have either an internal waterproof coating and an external DWR coating (C-1000) or water resistant impregnated coating (12oz c-canvas). For increased longevity of these coatings we do not recommend machine washing
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also silicone spray or lightly wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan

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
- Sizes: Small or Medium
- Volumes: 7 litres (Small) and 12 litres (Medium),
- Weights: 350 grams and 435 grams,
- Measurements: Small: Base 22 x 12cm, Height 30cm , Top width 35cm Medium: Base 30 x 13cm, Height 35cm, Top Width 42cm,
- Fabrics: Ultra C-Canvas, C-1000n6
- Use mild detergent or pure soap (preferably one that's nice to the earth)
- Our C-Canvas has a water resistant coating which can shift and discolour through the initial break in period
- For best results hand wash until broken in, machine washing is fine after this although it will reduce the lifetime of the product
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
- If your urban lifestyle gets so exciting that you rip your Witness, send it back to us and we’ll mend it for a small fee
- If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email

The Subductor is a c-210n6 lined courier style shoulder bag, but has a squarer shape, making it suitable for A4 papers, folders, and meetings. The Subductor comes with a cross-strap which pulls it around your body; avoiding that dreaded forward swing as you’re passing the Brooklyn bus. A superb around-town equipment vehicle and incredibly hard-wearing to boot. We do bang on about our stuff lasting a long time, but it’s true. Davie Robinson’s one of these is still going strong after 15 years and due to the design’s lack of dependence on zips and high construction values it should pretty much last forever.
- Corner covers to protect your stuff from even the worst Wellington southerly
- Fully lined with c-210n6, for the same reason!
- Two front pockets for convenient access to your wallet/phone/keys/u lock
- Fat 50mm shoulder strap
- Volume : 14 Litres

Customer Reviews




This is the cycle commuters dream over the shoulder satchel. Based on the messenger bag, this bag is designed for carrying your laptop, notebooks, phone and fancy pens (with compartments for each). Designed by an actual bicycle messenger and after months of engineering, prototypes and deep discussions the Mercury is a winner for all of you cyclists out there. It's also ideal as a travel satchel or work laptop carry bag.
Comes in Black canvas with Black trim, or Black cordura with Blue trim.
Like all things Cactus, it's built to last. Unlike all things Cactus, this puppy has a few complex features:
- Separate padded laptop pocket (fits a Macbook Pro 15" (of course)) - fleece lined and everything
- 4 smaller pockets for pens, Pod Wallet, business cards, Moleskine notebooks, Iphone and whatnot
- Corner gussets on the lid to keep the rain out of the inside
- Reflective strip (small enough to be cool, bright enough to be safe when commuting at night)
- Quick release buckle on shoulder strap
- Quick and easy grab loop to adjust shoulder strap length
- Shoulder strap comes with cross strap to keep it from moving around and can be used both left and right
- Key loop
- Includes No Worries 5yr Guarantee
- Covered by Cactus-Tough Lifetime Warranty
- Volume : 20 Litres
- Measurements : Width 430mm x height 370mm x depth 125mm

- Our pack fabrics have an internal water proof coating and an external DWR coating. For increased longevity of these coatings we do not recommend machine washing
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan

Practical, warm, and just the right amount of fancy - we bring you the Cactus Merino Polo Shirt.
Built for those who often find themselves shooting from the site/farm straight into a meeting (or anywhere else it is frowned upon to wear a smelly tee). Check out the Long Sleeved version, if you're more into that.
Made from 100% merino, this Polo Shirt will warm you up on cold days and cool you down on warm days. It is naturally odour resistant, so you could run around in it all day and end up in a somewhat-fancy place without stinking the place out. One of our Cactus Crew tested this theory for a whole week without washing and noone had any complaints.
So what's so blimin' good about it? In a nutshell:
- It's 100% merino. Epic.
- Naturally odour resistant (phew!)
- Fast drying
- Comfort stretch
- Retains its shape
- 100% merino
-
