We've bought the Banana Rope Manager back. This rope bag is a Kiwi classic, and it's built to last.

Heaps of people asked us to make these again, so we've done a limited, special edition run of them. 

The banana shape means an easy over the shoulder carry, and the sheet protects your rope from the dirt, adding to its lifespan. It’s a great place to put your shoes on too, keeping them clean for the send, and avoiding polishing the bottom holds of your route – good for you and the crag!

• Made in NZ
• Enough room for your rope, draws, and harness.
• 38mm webbing shoulder sling, for carrying comfort
• Small outside zip secured pocket for car keys or other wee cragging essentials
• Twin 25mm side release straps with grippin buckles to keep things from coming apart – at least before you get onto the rock

Who wants to faff around with multiple pockets, credit card separaters, coin sections, note sections, photo of the dog sections? Not people who want this wallet. 

It’s as simple as it gets. Enough room for the money card and the other 8 cards you don’t really know why you have plus a couple of coins and a folded up note or two. One compartment, easy access and fits nicely into your back pocket. 

It could also be used as your memory card pouch, spare battery pouch, headphones case, tampon pocket, earrings case... to name a few. 

Comes in several colours and has a sweet Cactus brass dome. 

A top-tube accessory bag with two velcro loop attachments. Mounts behind your handlebar stem to provide easy access to muesli bars, gels, a squashed banana, your cellphone, bike tools, maps, fireworks … and whatever else it is you like to keep handy.

Also mounts to the seat post end of your top tube so you can double-mount for extra storage.

• YKK zip
• Relective cactus logo
  
• Olive: C-1000 cordura
• Black: Premium C-Canvas

Small Utility Bags

These are hollow cases with zips. Five different sizes. Four different colours. 

We started with the 'Medium' which was the ideal pencil case (we even called it a pencil case), perfect for accommodating some pencils, pens, scissors, highlighters and a K-bar (if kids still do that?). But since the invention, the uses have become endless. Add 4 more sizes to the mix and you've got one for everything.

Pens & pencils, toiletries, packing cell, tools, first aid kit, jumper leads, nails, screws, crampons, ropes, cables, lunch, headphones, dirty nappies, clean nappies, boots, books, drill, drill bits, at least 3 bottles of beer (500ml kind - not cans), at least 6 cans of beer...

• C-1000n6 (cordura)
• YKK zip
• Little tab loops on the ends
• Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship

Our grippin buckles are little wonders and are working their way into numerous applications throughout our product range.

Easy and quick to use, they allow us to eliminate those potentially breakable plastic buckles. Your pack will have a longer service life and we feel a bit better about using raw materials! We've decided to put them on our website as an accessory - primarily because if you do break a plastic 25mm buckle, often you can replace it with a Grippin on the male side and cut the female buckle off, leaving the webbing loop to be the receiving part for the hook.  If you do it's a good idea to put a double fold in the end of the webbing the buckle slides on - otherwise it can potentially come off...

We call a Grippin buckle righthand if you were wearing it is one that you would hold on to with your right hand when hooking it into the webbing of a belt. A lefthand one would be used with your left hand. The other way to think about it is that the S in Cactus starts is over the hook in a righthand buckle. 

Our DB Boardstraps are our proprietary double purchase board straps. Initially they were seen on our old Sedition packs and after retro-fitting many pairs to Deepwinters we've decided to make them modular on many of our alpine packs: Patrol Pack, Miklat, Vacuole, Foray (any model), Hector (with nothing in front pocket) and pretty much any other pack with 2 compression straps.

Ask us if you're not sure if they'll fit to your pack.

• C-Reo board holders lock down securely on your board and withstand your nice sharp edges better than anything else we can imagine
• If you wrap them around twice they carry skis really well too

These little wonders are working their way into numerous applications throughout our product range. Easy and quick to use, they allow us to eliminate in many places those potentially breakable plastic buckles. Thus hopefully your pack will have a longer service life and we feel a bit better about using raw materials!

As you'd expect, the Grippin Belt is good for holding your Supertrousers up.  They are also handy if you need to lash your ski's onto the roof of the car, or perform a citizens arrest then the Grippin belt is a fast and easy way to secure the situation.
