ALL MEN'S CLOTHING

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. 

Just when you thought you couldn't get anything better than merino crew for outdoor work or play... we bring you Cactus merino!

Longsleeved for those chilly NZ winters, these merino crew neck midweight tops are good for workwear, activewear or rock around town wear, they'll stop you from smuggling raisins on a cold day and keep you looking sharp with their subtle but cool homage to Cactus on the front.

Simple and effective with an embroidered Cactus logo, a handy half zip, and subtle thumb holes designed to a Cactus-tough standard. 320 grams per square metre makes this top a bit weightier than our other merino gear - perfect for layering.

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.

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.

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

A merino tube thing that keeps your neck-to-your-nose toasty warm and protected from the elements.

Perfect for heading up the mountain on a chilly ski day, jumping on your bike with a gnarly headwind, or smashing out a fresh morning hike.
