This is a belt. Not much more to say really. It's wide, it's tough, it's simple, it's adjustable. This could be used for slipping a radio holder or anything you like onto. Probably not to hold up your pants unless you have super wide belt loops!
• 50mm wide, 137mm long.

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, Cordura 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 Cordura 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.
- Cordura 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.
For a longer leg length, you need Denim Supertrousers Extra Long.
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 - 13% Cordura, 87% mixed cotton (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).

Love Cactus Trade Supertrousers, but wish they came in a lighter, softer fabric? The new Cactus CNC Fabric is for you. These pants are exactly the same design as our classic C-Canvas Supertrousers, but made from our new CNC Fabric, which is less stiff and lighter.
CNC Trade Supertrousers are designed for indoor trades, work outdoors in warmer temps, or for those who want off-the-shelf comfort, but compromising on durability is not an option.
CNC Trade Supertrousers are true, fully-featured work trousers for those whose work demands it. Your essentials are all close at hand with dedicated pockets for a cellphone, ruler, and punches or measuring tape, plus reinforced hammer loops that stand out for easy use. The large main pockets at the waist are external so the contents don’t get in the way so much when you crouch down. Two full size pockets at the back for your wallet full of cash because you never have to replace your work shorts. The belt loops are wide enough to take a full width equipment belt.
- Lightweight, wearable, but still super durable CNC Fabric
- Cellphone pocket (large enough to fit a big phone)
- Dual hammer loops for when it’s hammer time
- Ruler and measure pockets help you only cut once
- Roomy external main pockets for durability and easy access

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....

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.

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.

And here it is – the next-level tough, Cactus Canvas Down Jacket. This is not a lightweight, 'pop in your backpack for a day walk' number. This is your hefty, super-warm, super-tough, big, burly, mega down jacket for outdoor professionals who need a durable, warm and reliable down jacket.

- Two external (fleece lined) hand pockets

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
- Made right here in NZ
- Fabric: Cactus WTF-3 (320 denier nylon face fabric with bi-component membrane with excellent balanced performance)
- Water resistance: 25,000 mm
- Breathability: 4,500gm (A1 test ) + 8-12,000gm (B-1 test)
- Weight: 930 grams (Size Large)
- Do not dry clean
- Non-chlorine bleach only when needed
- Tumble dry on a medium heat to rejuvenate DWR coating
- Don't have a dryer? Just drip dry then iron on low heat, no steam to rejuvenate DWR Coating

- Over time you may need to restore the DWR coating. We recommend using ReviveX Durable Water Repellent Spray
- Don't use permanent-marker, or any other solvent, on the lining of your garment

Although, as the name suggests, initially designed specifically for ski patrollers, the Patrol Pack is also the most versatile large day pack we make.
It seemed unfair to limit this pack to purely professional ski field users considering that happily, through some sublime alignment of the comfort/capacity/common-sense parameters, the Patrol has found an appreciative audience amongst – well – just about anyone wanting a good all around pack.
Hunters, photographers, climbers, skiers day-tripping off piste and lightweight trampers all seem to find the Patrol pack fits the bill. A contender for the most versatile pack we make?
- Cushy padded C-Lam harness and waist belt for all day comfort
- Front shovel pocket, for fast access to your shovel when you really need it. In summer it’s a great place for your jacket and scroggin
- Ice axe loops (of course)
- Side pockets for shovel handles, water bottles and internal pockets for a hydration bladder or avalanche probes
- Ski tail straps on the lower sides, with a side release buckle on the upper compression strap for easy ski carrying
- Compatible with our DB Boardstraps (sold separately) for carrying your snowboard
- Boxy base shape to fit the unusual loads that ski patrollers often carry
The Patrol Pack comes with our 5 Year, No Worries, Pack Guarantee. Read more about it here.

Volume: 45 litres
-
Weight: 1390 grams
- Our pack fabrics have an internal water proof coating and an external DWR coating. For increased longevity of these coatings we do not recommend machine washing
- Brush dirt from the product while still dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one
- that's nice to the earth
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also silicone spray or lightly wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
- Drip dry without creases
- OK, so somehow your Patrol pack fell off the rocks at the top of the field and made it most of the way to the bottom? Get someone to drop it back to Cactus HQ and for a small fee we’ll make it fully functional again

Originating from the snow industry, these vests are designed to give you everything you need to do your job right at your fingertips.
No matter what your tools, the 2 chest pockets (that go all the way to your armpit) or the 4 big cargo storage pockets will hold 'em.
- Super reflective
- A place for a radio harness
- A place for your ID
- YKK zips
- And a 2-way giant zip straight down the middle
These vests were used a bucket-load during the earthquakes!

Truly awesome holiday heroes at the smaller end of the scale, or a huge gear bag for expeditions and sales trips at the larger end.
One of the four sizes of Big Burly Bag (or BBB) is bound to meet your needs. You’ll never have to see your stuff strewn across the baggage collection area again as beefy fabrics, reinforcing where needed, heavy duty YKK zips and load relief straps across the zips mean the BBB easily meets the legendary Cactus durability requirements.
To avoid the polyester/cotton C-Canvas versus fully synthetic C-1000n6 argument we thought it was easiest to offer the BBB’s in both, with different colours to choose from too. You don't have a choice for size large though (which is massive). It only comes in Black Cordura.
We can’t stop you going over the weight limit, but the XS BBB does meet the maximum size limits for most airline carry-on luggage.
- Fabrics: Cordura or C-Canvas
- Extra Small: 43 litres, 600 grams, 550x330x240mm (airline carry-on luggage size)
- Small: 66 litres, 680 grams, 800x330x250mm
- Medium: 105 litres, 800 grams, 930x370x290mm
- Large: 170 litres, 1085 grams, 1020x480x380mm (Black Cordura only)
-
Our pack fabrics have various waterproofing coatings and treatments. To make these last as long as possible we recommend that you don’t wash your bag in a machine
-
Brush dirt from the product while still dry
-
Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the environment
-
Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also silicone spray or lightly wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
-
Drip dry without creases
-
It’s not impossible to damage these bags, and you’ll have fun trying, but if you succeed, get it back to us and for a small fee we’ll fix it up for you
