MERINO ACCESSORIES

We all know that a sock is a sock. But this one is just 'Better'. We once claimed that the Mahi Sock is top of the range but after vigorous testing, this one comes in a couple of points up on the 'Better' scale. Chunky knit, perfect for both in the workboots, or on the couch in winter. 

Merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*

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

We're once again not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But we did realise there was a bit of a gap in our range for a 'daily' type sock. Thinner than your average work sock but still warm and comfy. Good enough to wear... Daily. 

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 two sizes.

*When we say daily, we don't mean wear them everyday. We suggest changing your socks after use. Merino does have anti odour properties. But, they will probably stink after several days of wear without washing. 

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.

At Cactus, we've got your super warm work sock (The Mahi Sock), a tramping(ish) sock (The Better Sock) and some in between socks. But what we were missing was a lower cut "gym / running sock" so we called up our mates down at NZ Sock Company to see what they could come up with. We introduce the Cankle sock (Cactus-Ankle). 

One of our office crew even wear tested a sample on a recent 24 hour endurance race and gave it the Cactus tick of approval.

A few months back while visiting the team at NZSockCo, Jared enlightened us to the fact that coloured socks were included in their offering. It was a fair point, other than our Mahi Socks, everything else on offer was black - boring black as a frequent customer of ours, Dave, calls it. 

We raced back to Christchurch and flicked some designs through. A few months later and our new Tibia Socks were here. A little bit different, but something perfect for those who like a bit of colour in their lives. 

In the early 90's in Wellington there were two communities - climbing and mountain biking. The Cactus Crew would make product during the week, and weekends were for hitching to various crags and races around the country. On the shores of Whanganui Bay in Lake Taupo, there is a climb known as the Tibia. Many moons ago, founders, Gwilym, Rob and Ben spent a fair chunk of time climbing the Tibia, and we thought it apt to name the sock after it. A nod to the simpler days. 

Looks best with a Merino LS T-Shirt and a pair of Hangdog Shorts. 

*Please note, socks may stretch over time depending on wear

We like to think of ourselves as hardy individuals. Drawing inspiration from an old high school teacher who famously tramped the Southern Crossing of the Tararua ranges in the depths of winter in bare feet, stubbies and an old woollen jersey, Rex is a legend.

But, we suspect that he, like others feels the cold more with age.

In honour of his exploits as a younger man, and to protect his (and all of our) hips and knees from the impact of the cold we introduce the Cactus Rex Merino long johns with the sartorial addition of a Cactus elasticated waist.
