Features

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. 

Don't need the hood? Check out our (in Rob's words), "corporately smart" collared version!

Care
  • Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
  • Do not tumble dry
  • 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 bleach
  • Do not iron

Great for dog walking on cold windy days with some showers thrown in

Great for dog walking on cold windy days with some showers thrown in, really practical for stowing phone and keys and perfect for that sit outside coffee at the cafe with the dog.

Solid !

Seems like a solid warm jacket so far and fits its product description more than adequately. One of the most appealing aspects to this jacket is the thick outer shell. Pity that unlike its Navy coloured mate the Spice is not made in Christchurch, NZ.

Great jacket

Great jacket, will get some good use. Would rate 5 but some constructive feedback thoughts: would have more freedom of movement with the arm gussetts cut higher, it want's to follow with large arm movements. The elasticated wrists are nice but thin so mainly a gesture and don't stay in place, maybe wider elastic woud be better
