• 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

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)

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 right here in our factory on Lichfield St, Christchurch, NZ.

Now we can say that we can dress you head to toe in good quality kit.

We're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like all things Cactus, we've made sure that these ones will go the distance. We did the ultimate test and made Rob wear a pair. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*

For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer. 

The Cactus socks come in black and in three sizes. Made in New Zealand.

*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing. 

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a Hi-Vis Yellow Day Pack Cover made from quality 400 denier Oxford nylon to exacting Cactus quality standards to be sure it has your back for miles and miles and miles.

• Hi-Vis yellow fabric with reflective stripe so there's no blimmen excuse for hitting you on your bike
• Handy loop to which you might attach a bike light right in the middle of your back
• Waterproof to keep your faithful old daypack dry even if it is really past its best before date
• Shock cord around the outside to help fit various sizes of pack and variable packloads 

A wooly merino thing that keeps your lid feeling warm and looking cool.

Made in NZ from the least-scratchy 100% merino wool we could get our hands on. Comes in black, grey or navy.

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

Hit the slopes in head to toe (literally) top quality kit.

Now, we know we're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like our other socks, and all thing Cactus, we've made sure these ones will go the distance.

Being merino, they are also stink-free*. Perfect for a long hard day on the slopes. 

*We make no guarantees about stink-free feet – you will, unfortunately, still have to wash these socks.

We're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like all things Cactus, we've made sure that these ones will go the distance. These ones are the top of the range, chunky knit, perfect for both in the workboots, or on the couch in winter. 

ADDED BONUS: You get three in this pack.
