In keeping with the theme of ‘staple’ gear for Kiwis, we bring you the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt. Now complete and glowing with awesomeness we’re all wondering why we took so long to make these.
From the tradie go-to work top, to the urbanite’s default classic and the weekend warrior’s dash-and-grab favourite, the flannel shirt has to be one of the most versatile items of clothing.
Now you can probably pick up a flannel shirt from your local red shed for the price of half a dozen (non-craft) beers but it will never outlive, look as good, or feel as amazing as the Cactus version. So what makes the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt stand out from the rest?
- It’s made from quality, 100% Cotton, 233gsm soft and warm brushed flannel
- NASA grade thread (that's strong!) and military grade buttons
- Voluminous, generous length chest pockets - they fit notebooks & phones
- Felled side seams for strength
- Long back to save you from the infamous butt crack issue
- Roomy enough to nicely fit a Cactus merino underneath for extra warmth on those cold days
- Reasonably high collar - high enough to keep the sun off but not so high as to look like a dork
- Double layered shoulders for extra strength and durability
- NZ made - right here in Christchurch
Please note: shrinkage may occur in first wash.

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

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
-
Country / Region of manufacture: New Zealand
- 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

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
- Weight: 275 grams
- Fabric: 12oz Ultra C-Canvas
- Measurements: 41cm deep (or high whichever way you see it) x 15cm wide x 34cm long (along the zip)

Down vests or puffer vests are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters and without the arms, they're great for autumn and spring too. Good down vests are never cheap so when you buy one you want it to last. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down vest for those working and playing hard in the outdoors. And we did - super tough vests that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.
Taking on broad feedback that we've had over the years, from both our customers and our repairs team, we've strengthened them in all the places that down vests are known to fail.
The latest evolution of our men's Cactus Down Vest features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around the pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers and so much more.
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in a warm water using a non-detergent soap or specific down-washing product - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Rinse well
- Tumble dry on low heat or line dry away from direct sunlight.
- 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 iron
- Do not dry clean

A fine tailored-fit short-sleeve cotton button-up shirt for when the hard work's done and you deserve a few cold ones.

Matches very well with a nice tidy pair of Denim Supertrousers or SOS Shorts.
Note that we've made these shirts long in the body because they will shrink a little, especially if you hit them with a warm to hot wash.

Just when you thought that we had thought of everything, we've taken things a step further and introduced yet another member to the Supertrouser family. A denim version. But in true Cactus form, this isn't any ordinary denim. Made from a tough, Dyneema denim, these pants have potential to become the greatest looking pair of denim trousers you ever put on. Like the Canvas Supertrousers, after about 6 months of hard wear and tear, they will have taken on that feeling of a second skin and look like they were made especially for you.
Because Cactus customers demand more than a pair of jeans to drink a latte in, we needed to find a fabric that could withstand a bit of a thrashing. This is why we went for the Dyneema Denim which is 4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denim. The inclusion of high-tenacity nylon fiber helps resist tears, rips and punctures.
These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrouser pattern and are the result of some serious trials and wear testing to make sure we nailed it. The fit is slim (but not skinny) and has a lower rise and fit more like a jean than a canvas Supertrouser.
So if you're one of those guys who finds buying denim (jeans) a nightmare, look no further - these will tick all of the boxes and fit like nothing else. You can count on Cactus to get it right.
- Dyneema 12oz Denim is super durable, comfortable and wears in like nothing else
- 4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denim
- Still super practical for people who move their legs with the articulated knee design
- Slim (but not skinny) fit which can handle almost any social situation
- Clothing related embarrassing situations are minimised by YKK zips (because they’re the best) and bar-tacks at all stress points
- Cactus-Tough Lifetime Warranty
- Made in New Zealand
Please Note: Do not shorten (hem) prior to first wash as shrinkage may occur. These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrousers*
These come hemmed to a standard length – see the 'Sizing' tab above.
If you need them hemmed shorter, we can do this for you. Just send them back to us – after you've washed them – with a note specifying the length you'd like them hemmed to. To work this out, measure your leg inseam – this is from your crotch to the floor, in bare feet. There is a charge for hemming.
Or you can hem them yourself. You do not require a heavy duty sewing machine for our denim, unlike our canvas.
• 12oz Cordura denim - 94% Cotton 6% Dyneema (4x more abrasion resistant to normal cotton)
- Machine wash in cold water only. Rinse thoroughly, line dry.
- Do not dry clean or bleach.
- Pant length will reduce by approx. 4cm during initial wash.
- Please note: When new, be careful not to ruin your mates brand new white leather seats in his/her Mercedes - the indigo dye does tend to bleed a little (this is common on all quality denim products).

Measure pants that fit you well. Lay them flat and measure from the crotch to the bottom of the leg hem. If you don't have suitable pants, measure from your crotch to your desired pant leg length.
- The leg lengths of our trousers fit 95% of people just fine, but for those of you who need them shorter we can customise.
- If you would like your trousers hemmed to be shorter then you need to add Hem Shorter to this order where you can specify the length.
-
Please note that custom length shorts and trousers cannot be returned so please choose and measure carefully - call or email us if you are not sure.
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.
*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing.
66% Merino, 15% Lycra, 11% Nylon, 8% Spandex

If you're after a hat to protect your face from the elements during your summer surf and sand missions this summer, the Cactus Hard Hat will become your default. As a word of warning, as well as being extremely practical, it will it make you look mighty attractive too.
Because Cactus gear is made to last, the general rule of thumb is to design gear that will keep looking good (unlike shell suits of the 80's). The New Zealand Bucket Hat is timeless. It's been the go-to style of summer (or winter) hat for generations and will continue to be - especially now that Cactus has made one.

Cactus's answer to 'softer' shorts. These have been through some rigorous wear testing and we have come to the firm conclusion that they are the ultimate summer go-to shorts for biking, tramping and heading to the beach.
The SOS's are the shorts version of our SOS Trousers. The same cut and fit, only shorter.
They're made from a lighter, polycotton drill fabric, which has mechanical stretch and is super durable - and our idea of durable is based on the Cactus Supershorts so we don't make that claim lightly.
Great features like quick drying fabric and mesh pockets, ideal for water drainage post jetty jumping. Triple stitched crotch. YKK zip and of course they come with our lifetime warranty on faulty materials and workpersonship.
Available in any colour, as long as it's slimming black.
Made right here in NZ.
Please note: In June 2020, the fit of the SOS was changed. Please check your size against the size chart if you are re-purchasing.

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

- 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.
• 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

Down jackets or puffer jackets are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters. Good down jackets are never cheap so when you buy one you want it to last.
Our journey began with a simple goal: to craft a down jacket robust enough for the adventurous souls braving the wilderness, whether for work or play. The result? We did. Our super tough Down Jacket would stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, and brushing past the old farm gear you left out.
Yet, our ambition didn't end there.
Inspired by the legendary durability of our canvas Supertrousers, we envisioned a down jacket that embodies the same indestructible spirit. Enter the Cactus Canvas Down Jacket: a marvel of craftsmanship, this jacket is far from the typical lightweight layer.
It's a well-made workhorse for those who work in the toughest of environments, designed with no compromise on toughness, warmth, and reliability.
Crafted with pride in New Zealand, our 30+ years of manufacturing know-how shows through in every detail of the Cactus Canvas Down Jacket.
We've listened, we've learned, and we've enhanced. Features include a robust two-way zipper, reinforced pockets for added durability, a detachable hood for versatility, and advanced water-repellent C-Canvas to keep you dry and warm in the harshest conditions.
Key features of the Canvas Down Jacket include:
- Water-repellent Premium C-Canvas exterior for ultimate protection.
- An adjustable, detachable hood, offering customizable shelter from the elements.
- A durable main zipper, equipped with a two-way slider for ease and flexibility.
- 750-loft white goose down, ethically and responsibly sourced, ensuring exceptional warmth without compromise.
- DWR-treated down, ensuring that even in the rain, the down resists water, prevents clumping, and continues to insulate.
- A robust Premium C-Canvas outer shell, paired with a soft nylon taffeta lining, and reinforced at critical wear points for unmatched durability.
- Ample storage with two internal chest pockets, an external chest pocket, and two fleece-lined hand pockets for warmth and convenience.
- Comfort-enhancing fleece-lined cuffs, a testament to our attention to every detail.
Proudly made in New Zealand, the Cactus Canvas Down Jacket is more than just a piece of clothing; it's a commitment to quality, durability, and the outdoor lifestyle that defines us.

The Vacuole was the first backpack ever made by Cactus. The fact that some of the originals are still around is testimony to its pedigree. The classic design lends itself towards versatility and this had ensured its enduring popularity. Over the years (25 and counting) we’ve updated it with new materials and ideas to maintain its relevance. If you are only going to own one pack, the vacuole is a strong contender. Designed for heavier day loads the harness sports our c-aircell fabric, and a 38mm webbing waist belt.
- C-aircell harness and a 38mm webbing hip belt all contribute comfort and stability be it lugging books to university or ski touring
- Internal hydro sleeve to keep you on the go
- Compression straps stabilise the load, take the stress off the zip, and allow awkward items
(camera tripod, perhaps?) to be carried externally - Ice axe loop and shock cord for crampons keep the winter options open, and can be used
for other things – axe loop for your flashing bike light, shock cord for – well – anything… - ‘Road kill’ front pocket for those wee items – keys, wallet, phone etc
- Includes No Worries 5yr Guarantee

There's nothing better than after a summers day than chilling out with a cold one on a hammock after an awesome day of bike riding or working hard on the house renos. A Cactus Hammock is also great for holiday reading or that mid afternoon snooze.
Thanks to Jeremy, a design student of Otago Polytechnic, Cactus can now offer their first 12oz Canvas Hammock. He cleverly designed this and he's thought of everything including a pillow system, drinks holder and simple rigging system.
It packs down to carry size so it's super practical for throwing in the car and taking to your favourite camping spot or the family bach.
Fits one person comfortably, two at a squeeze. We tested its load by putting three blokes and a dog in it and it held but we wouldn't recommend it.

Any dog can have a regular collar, but a Cactus dog deserves a Cactus collar.
Made in New Zealand from premium quality American steer leather, this collar is built to suit both a serious working dog or a furry companion. With natural finish top grain leather, a heavy-duty buckle and a welded square keeper – this beauty could take on more than just a dog.
Please do not use the collar in salt water as it will rust the metal parts.
The supplier: We want nothing but the best quality products for Cactus customers, which is why we left the leather crafting to the pros over at Taurus. Taurus have been making super tough leather products for building, farming and the outdoors right here in New Zealand since 1988. Everything is carefully constructed from top quality leather and built to last the distance. Just like Cactus, their gear wears in, not out, as the leather moulds to your body with every use. Taurus are an awesome company who we are proud to boast as a supplier.

In the old days, before log carriers, we used to load up an armload of wood, wince at the elbow tendonitis, then drop one bit, bend over awkwardly to pick it up, watch another piece roll off, swear loudly, get stuck by a splinter, get covered in wood chips and dust, get told off for brushing off the jersey onto the carpet indoors … then repeat that whole process three or four times every evening.
Enter the Cactus Log Carrier – a simple, clever, no-fuss solution to the daily task of shifting firewood.
Bring in three armloads at a time (2-4 depending on your arm-span). Dump it in the basket, or lay out on the carrier itself. Save your elbows, save time, save fuss.
Use it to carry all sorts of items – tools, children, hedge-trimmings, a couple of slabs … the list is pretty much endless.
Made Cactus-tough for a lifetime of carrying utility.

These are hollow cases with zips. Five different sizes. Four different colours.

But since the invention, the uses have become endless. Add 4 more sizes to the mix and you've got one for everything.
Pens & pencils, toiletries, packing cell, tools, first aid kit, jumper leads, nails, screws, crampons, ropes, cables, lunch, headphones, dirty nappies, clean nappies, boots, books, drill, drill bits, at least 3 bottles of beer (500ml kind - not cans), at least 6 cans of beer...

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.
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
