ALL MEN'S JACKETS & VESTS

If you've got the type of job where you can't wear a whole lot of Cactus, then we've made this Softshell Jacket just for you.

Designed for smart casual wear, this jacket is awesome for wearing with shirts, dressy trousers or as part of a corporate uniform. Or if you're headed from the farm to the bank, this clever jacket will smarten up whatever else you've got on. 

We've popped our logo on the left so that your company can put their logo on the right.

They are also great for keeping you warm and protected from bugs on the electric scooter ride into the city.

We've stepped it up a notch in the fleece department. We've not only got the most simple, trusty Fleece you could want, but now we've introduced an extreme, heavy-duty, work specific fleece jacket. It's ideal for when your Down Jacket is just too much but you need more than just your merino.

This jacket hasn't happened over night - it's a result of customer requests, rigorous testing and some well thought out designing. 

It's called the Windpro Jacket for a reason. It's made from Wind Shield fleece to withstand those nasty cold winds. The blurb on the packet says it's 3 times more wind resistant than traditional fleece, greatly reduces windchill, provides warmth without the weight, it's extremely breathable and does not retain perspiration.

Because we never do things by halves, we've also added a tough windproof polyester/cotton reinforcing fabric on the front, shoulders and arms – ideal for when you've got the 4x2 on your shoulder or when you're grovelling around on your elbows. Did we mention the chest pockets? Yep - there are two. One has a top opening with a flap, and is positioned for keeping your note pad and pen handy. The second is a sneaky side-zipped number on the other side. 

Add in some deep fleece-lined hand pockets, positioned high and out of the way of pack or tool belts, and we reckon you've got quite an awesome warm, durable functional garment. Enjoy!

Made in New Zealand and like all of our products, comes with a lifetime warranty on materials and workpersonship. 

Tired of waterproof breathable jackets that wear out and don't keep you dry? Then the Cactus Rain Jacket is for you. Built from ultra-tough 3 layer WTF-3 fabric, this heavy-duty jacket will protect you from rain, wind, snow, and whatever else nature throws at you - and is guaranteed to last the distance in tough New Zealand conditions.

Similar in concept and design to our proven Mountain Jacket, the Rain Jacket is a longer cut so it keeps your shorts dry and protects your butt when you sit down for a brew in the rain.

Our canvas jackets are the logical companion to our trouser range. Crafted from the same C-Canvas as our Supertrousers and lined with polyester microfibre fleece, this jacket will protect you from the elements but with way more durability than your average down or waterproof/breathable garment. This makes it a favourite in demanding industries like forestry, building and construction. Due to the heavy fabrics used for longevity and protection, we've darted the arms and gusseted the back of the shoulders so there's no loss of flexibility. The Collared Jacket has the same shell, same lining, same rugged toughness, just without the cranial protection of the Hooded Jacket.

• Gusseted shoulder construction and darted, giving great range of motion
• Proofed European 12oz C-Canvas is great to wear and will last for ages

The Hooded Jacket is a logical step from our Supertrousers. Crafted from the same Premium C-Canvas and lined with our polyester microfibre fleece this jacket is a tough customer for winter living. Due to the heavy fabrics we've darted the arms and gusseted the back of the shoulders so you can get your arms down near your body. Because winter is cold we've also built in a tailored hood to keep that most important part of your body warm. If you love your Supertrousers you'll love this jacket, check it out....

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. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down jacket for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough winter jackets that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.

In true NZ made style, we're always looking for ways to make our gear even better and our 2020 design tweaks do just that.  Strengthened in all the places we do repairs and taking on board customer feedback, the latest evolution of the Cactus Down Jacket features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers rolls and so much more.

• 100% nylon two layer waterproof outer
• Adjustable and removable zip-off hood
  
• Extra strong main zipper with two way slider
• 750-loft white goose down. Ethically and responsibly sourced
• DWR treated down - this means when it's raining the down itself is water repellent, anti-clumping and carries on doing it's job to keep you warm and insulated
• Nylon taffeta lining with extra internal reinforcing on the lower back to avoid wear and tear around your 'seat'
• Two internal chest pockets, two external (fleece lined) hand pockets
• Fleece lined cuffs 

Tired of waterproof breathable jackets that wear out? The Cactus Mountain jacket is for you. Built in ultra tough 3 layer WTF-3 fabric, with real exterior pockets and no bogus lighter-weight pocket linings that leak, this heavy duty jacket will protect you from the elements with way more durability than your average cut-price waterproof/breathable garment.

Here's what our testers thought of it: "I thought the fit of the jacket is spot on. The storm flap definitely did the job of keeping snow out of the pocket - even when I forgot to zip it up I didn't loose any goodies from the pocket. I really like having no hip pockets, as there is nothing to hinder and bunch up when bending at the hip. The pockets were sufficient for carrying all the stuff I needed for ski patrolling. Another feature I thought was pretty tiptop is the foldaway collar, it works nicely when snow is blowing everywhere."

"I was surprised at how well this thing breathes given how burly the fabric is. I never got hot skiing in it, and it’s obviously gonna last forever. Had a couple of stormy days in it on the mountain, it was totally wind and snow proof and the fabric didn’t soak, so it stayed supple yet bombproof in nasty weather."

• Fully seam sealed
• Super straightforward design for fewer fail points
• Two external zip access chest pockets - no leak points into the garment
• Foldaway hood domes away into fleece-lined tall collar
• Velcro hood adjustment
• Draw cord at hem
• Single piece yoke to minimise abrasion points on seams that might leak
• One fabric all the way through the garment - no bogus soft pocket linings
• YKK zips because they're the best
• Guaranteed for life, like all Cactus product
