The Cactus Washable Face Mask
We are constantly iterating on our products at Cactus. Following customer feedback, we have designed a new Cactus facemask that's washable, with replaceable filters (while doing our best to keep all of the goodness from our previous mask).
This Face Mask in a nutshell:
- The woven wool-filter is designed to be more than twice as easy to breathe through than standard masks.
- The filter media used in the mask filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size - for reference, to meet N95 standard, a filter must block 95% of these particles.
- We've designed it to seal snugly around the face for superior protection with an adjustable nose-wire to form a protective seal.
- Made in NZ - 100% cotton outer and a NZ wool-filter.
IMPORTANT:
- As mentioned above, the filter is tested in-house to exceed P2/N95 levels.
- This face mask is washable but the filter must be removed (check care tab for further information).
- This face mask comes with one filter inside it, and replaceable filter packs are available for purchase.
- Check the care tab above for when to replace your filter.
- Wearing the mask cannot fully remove the risk of infection or contracting a disease.
- Due to face masks being a sanitary product, we cannot accept them for return, refund or exchange for any reason. We recognise this is quite different from the regular Cactus stance on returns/refunds/exchanges but unfortunately the nature of this product gives us no other option.
- Stop using the mask immediately if breathing becomes difficult.
- This Face Mask is a consumer product. It is not a respirator. It is not a medical device.
Background:
Cactus have teamed up with Lanaco to create a highly efficient, portable Face Mask. We’ve placed Lanaco’s HELIX® woven Filter Media - an innovative natural wool filter - into a soft cotton outer. And voila, filtration that blocks harmful particles, pollution, bacteria and virus. The HELIX®Filter Media, scientifically tested within an inch of its life, proves kiwi sheep have got the goods to protect their two legged friends. In fact it’s so good, NASA are currently testing it to protect their space team.
Care Removing the Mask:
As with any mask used to filter out germs and viruses, care needs to be taken when removing the mask. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after touching the mask.
Taking Care of your Mask:
- Store below 30 degrees in a dry place. Keep separately in a sealed bag.
Washing your Mask:
- Remove and dispose of your filter before washing mask. (Washing the filter makes it less effective.)
- Warm gentle machine wash, not above 30 degrees celcius.
- Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not bleach.
Lifetime of your Filter:
Filter life primarily depends on air conditions, daily user usage (hrs) and rate of breathing. The filter is said to be at the end of its life when it is noticeably harder to breathe through but, with normal use, we expect filters to last the lifetime of the mask.
Replacing your Filter
If you are removing the filter from your mask, we recommend disposing of it and replacing it.
The mask comes with one filter, and we have filter packs of 5 available to purchase.
The wool, fluffy side of the filter is to face away from you (face down when you insert it into the mask.
This video shows you how to replace the Filter:
Packaging:
For hygiene purposes, we’ve had to package these Face Masks in a plastic bag. We’re not fond of this solution and will be looking for other methods, but in the meantime, let’s find as many ways as we can to ensure this bag is not single use.
NOTE: Our masks are a standard one-size-fits-most. However, due to everybody's face shape being different, we cannot assume it will fit absolutely everyone. Feedback suggests our masks don't work as well on people with beards or large chins.
- Insert the filter
- Place the face mask to your face
- Pull the elastic to a point that it is comfortable but snug (the better the seal on your face, the more effective the mask is)
- Tie a knot in the elastic

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
S: 15.5cm long, 4.5cm high, 7cm deep. 500ml.
M: 25cm long, 10cm high, 8cm deep. 2L.
L: 25cm long, 19cm high, 8cm deep. 3.8L.
XL: 29cm long, 19cm high, 8cm deep. 4.4L

Due to popular demand we bring you Slim Fit Supertrousers. These will tuck into your gumboots easier, hook up less and are just as hardcore as your standard Supertrousers. Apart from the slimmer fit the only other difference to standard Supertrousers is a new waist band for added comfort. They also look really stylish around town ... and we're okay with that.
If you are on the tall side and after longer Slim Supertrousers, you need Extra Long Slim Supertrousers.
Note that the colour will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
Our new Premium C-Canvas is just as hard wearing as the classic Cactus canvas, but has a more comfortable finishing weave, so requires less breaking in time.
(Note: Gingernut Slims Supertrousers are made from our classic C-Canvas).
- Exclusive Premium C-Canvas. Durable and great to wear
- Made by happy people who’ll be even happier if you buy some
- Handle tricky manoeuvres with the articulated knee design
- Casual styling 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
If the colour or size you want is not showing, we are probably out of stock. Email or call us to find out when they will be here or to place a backorder – cactus@cactusoutdoor.co.nz, 0800 122 682.
Fabric: Premium C-Canvas
Weight: 780 grams (Medium)
- Essentially, Canvas Supertrousers and Supershorts require a bit of a wear-in period to soften the fabric.
- The first three or so washes should be done by hand, then you should be right to machine wash.
- Use cold water with a mild powder detergent, rinse thoroughly, very gentle or no spin and line-dry.
-
Do not iron, dry clean, spin-dry or use bleach.
- When new, the stiffness of the fabric means it creases in points rather than soft folds - washing them in an aggressive or hot machine can cause damage on the crease points.
-
Our canvas also has a waterproofing agent which, if washed in an aggressive or hot machine, can shift and discolour. This will appear as white lines which cannot be removed.
-
Washing inside out will minimise lighter coloured creases on the outside of the fabric, but won’t remove stains quite as well.
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
- Note that all the colours will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
- If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send them back and we'll patch ‘em for a small fee
- If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email

Made from our super tough C-Canvas, the Cactus Bean Bag is suitable for chilling out in indoor or covered outdoor use.
Fabrics: Ultra is our classic, super-durable 12oz C-Canvas.
This bag comes empty. Fill with the stuffing of your choice - beans, foam padding, old jerseys... If you're going for the bean option, we'd recommend a 100L bag for super sloppy, 150L for the perfect balance or 200L for a firm seat (or for that 'showroom' perfect look).
Bean Bags made right here in the Cactus workshop and are a great gift for yourself or someone who loves a good chillax.
Weight: 1kg (empty)
Fabrics: 12oz European C-Canvas
YKK zip
Measurements: 100cm across (flat), 95cm high
Our C-Canvas has a water resistant coating applied to it.
To make this last as long as possible we recommend that you don’t wash it in a machine.
Brush dirt or crusty stuff from the bag once it is dry.
Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth. Best to close the zip.
Drip dry without creases

Cactus Supertrousers might just be the world’s best general purpose trousers and they’re made right here in NZ. These trousers can handle a shortcut through the gorse, nailing up some framing, or fitting the chains on the access road. On the flip side they are just as sweet for waiting for your fix at the local coffee cart, stylin’ at a BBQ, or sitting in the office dreaming of better things. There are two types of people out there, those who love their Supertrousers, and those who haven’t bought any yet!
If these are a bit baggy for your liking, check out our slim-fit version – they're not your super skinny hipster jean; you can still build a house in them. If you're after some full-featured, work-specific trousers, Trade Supertrousers might be for you. If your legs run hot, check out our Supershorts.
If you are on the taller side, you may need to order our unhemmed Extra Long Supertrousers
For shorter inseams, add 'Hem Shorter' to your cart and specify a length in centimetres.
Supertrousers come in two fabric options. C-Canvas is the classic, hardwearing Cactus canvas. Premium C-Canvas is newer, just as hard wearing, but with a more comfortable finishing weave, so requires less breaking in time.
If the colour you select has 'Premium' in the name it's the new Premium C-Canvas, if it doesn't have 'Premium' in the name, it's the classic C-Canvas. Easy as.

In keeping with the theme of ‘staple’ gear for Kiwis, we bring you the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt. Now complete and glowing with awesomeness we’re all wondering why we took so long to make these.
From the tradie go-to work top, to the urbanite’s default classic and the weekend warrior’s dash-and-grab favourite, the flannel shirt has to be one of the most versatile items of clothing.
Now you can probably pick up a flannel shirt from your local red shed for the price of half a dozen (non-craft) beers but it will never outlive, look as good, or feel as amazing as the Cactus version. So what makes the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt stand out from the rest?
- It’s made from quality, 100% Cotton, 233gsm soft and warm brushed flannel
- NASA grade thread (that's strong!) and military grade buttons
- Voluminous, generous length chest pockets - they fit notebooks & phones
- Felled side seams for strength
- Long back to save you from the infamous butt crack issue
- Roomy enough to nicely fit a Cactus merino underneath for extra warmth on those cold days
- Reasonably high collar - high enough to keep the sun off but not so high as to look like a dork
- Double layered shoulders for extra strength and durability
- NZ made - right here in Christchurch
Please note: shrinkage may occur in first wash.

Supershorts - our original “free standing” shorts. Supershorts are constructed with our tough, comfortable C-Canvas. Not the cheapest material in the world but we’re yet to find a better material – its combination of durability and breathable comfort is what makes these shorts possible.
Antelope, Black and Olive are all made from our new Premium C-Canvas, a durabe 12oz canvas with a softer finish. The Gingernut Supershorts are made from our classic hard-feel 12oz C-Canvas.
These will end up being possibly the most comfortable shorts you own - and they’ll stay that way for a long, long time; truly shorts that wear in, not out. If you need proof of the comfort and durability, James chose them for a 18,000km bicycle ride around the globe. We’ve got them framed up on the wall of fame here at Cactus HQ. Think a lighter weight pair might suit you better? Go and visit our SOS Supershorts. Don’t want to inflict your lower legs on innocent bystanders? Try our Supertrousers. Proudly made in NZ.

The Trade Supershorts are a true, fully featured work short for those who's work demands it. We've taken the Trade Supertrousers kept all the best bits and removed everything below the knee. Your essentials are all close at hand with dedicated pockets for a cellphone, ruler, and punches or measuring tape and a reinforced hammer loop that stands 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. Those pockets are tough enough for a handful of nails or screws occasionally, but we’ve tried crouching down with screws in our pockets and it isn’t that pleasant. Two full size pockets at the back give you a place for the “can you just pick some stuff up from the supermarket on your way home” shopping list. The belt loops are wide enough to take a full width equipment belt.
Antelope, Black and Olive are all made from our new Ultra C-Canvas. The Gingernut Trade Supershorts are made from our classic C-Canvas.

Hangdog Shorts are a reinvention of our classic Hangdog climbing shorts from the 90s. Only nowadays they've been revamped to suit to a more holistic, lifestyle-based approach to recreating outdoors.
Hangdog Shorts are made from a soft but durable polycotton drill fabric that also has a wee bit of mechanical stretch. We've rigorously wear-tested these by spending heaps of time out biking and climbing in the Port Hills. Product development can be a hard job eh, but someone's gotta do it! We've come to the firm conclusion that Hangdogs are the ultimate go-to shorts for doing good, active stuff outdoors, and they don't leave you feeling like a dork at the cafe or bbq afterwards.
Available in any colour, as long as it's slimming black.
- Low-profile zippered thigh pocket
- Reflective strip above back pocket (safety first)

- YKK zips

Going down on one knee might be a romantic gesture, but spending lots of your work day on your knees is less so, and can take it’s toll on your and your pants. That’s why we make the Trade Plus Supertrousers, a true fully-featured work pant in new Ultra C-Canvas with Kevlar-reinforced kneepads.
Crouch and engage with external main pockets at the waist - the contents displace away from your body. The pockets are tough enough to handle an occasional handful of nails or screws as well. Two full size pockets at the back give you a place for that bit of ply with the crucial measurements written on it and your pie money, and the belt loops are wide enough to take a full width equipment belt. We’ve also added ample dedicated pockets for a cellphone, ruler, and punches or measuring tape, and two reinforced hammer loops that stands out from your leg for easy use. We're confident those who need work pants this tough and this protective will really appreciate them.
Check out the Trade Supertrousers without the knee pad and our Trade Shorts too...
- Super durable and highly wearable 12oz Ultra C-Canvas
- New Kevlar knee-pads – this stuff is super tough. It's tensile strength is over eight times greater than that of steel wire. These knee-pads won't be wearing out in a hurry.
- Removable foam padding in the Kevlar reinforced knees
- Your tools and other essentials are within reach with cellphone, ruler and measure pockets and two hammer loops
- For everything else roomy external main pockets are durable and easy to access
- The details that matter, bar tacked stress points and YKK zips
- Wide belt loops for utility belts
- Phone pocket
- Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship

- Colours: Antelope - a dark chocolatey brown, or Black.
- Weight: 950 grams (Large)
- Fabrics:
- Ultra C-Canvas – durable, hard-wearing exclusive proofed 12oz canvas with a stiffer finish. C-1000n6 reinforcing. Kevlar knee-pads.
- Essentially, Canvas Supertrousers and Supershorts require a bit of a wear-in period to soften the fabric.
- The first three or so washes should be done by hand, then you should be right to machine wash.
- Use cold water with a mild powder detergent, rinse thoroughly, very gentle or no spin and line-dry.
-
Do not iron, dry clean, spin-dry or use bleach.
- When new, the stiffness of the fabric means it creases in points rather than soft folds - washing them in an aggressive or hot machine can cause damage on the crease points.
-
Our canvas also has a waterproofing agent which, if washed in an aggressive or hot machine, can shift and discolour. This will appear as white lines which cannot be removed.
-
Washing inside out will minimise lighter coloured creases on the outside of the fabric, but won’t remove stains quite as well.
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
- Note that all the colours will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
- If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send them back and we'll patch ‘em for a small fee
- If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email

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).

Meet the Do-Gooder - don’t let it’s simplicity distract you from it’s complete awesomeness!
Here at the Cactus HQ we get our choice of all the packs and bags we sell, and the one the you’ll see us with more than anything else is the Do-Gooder. It started out as reusable shopping bag that would really go the distance, but once we made a few we quickly realised it had far more potential than that.
You’ll see us bring our lunch and office essentials to work in a Do-Gooder, stuffing the roadtrip “get at them while you’re driving” bit and pieces in one, carrying muddy cycling shoes and helmets around, and loading them with beers and sausages when it’s BBQ time. At the farmers market the Do-Gooder makes the other pseudo-eco plastic bag alternatives look disposable.
We wanted Cactus tough, so 12oz C-Canvas was the obvious choice - it’s so tough we carried Jan in it round the office. Your guess as to how much she weighs, but more than Rob (who back when he was a climber referred to his forearms as “Da Boyz”) could carry in one hand! Cactus durability means it’ll last a really long time, and of course it comes with a lifetime warranty even though we doubt you’ll need it. It’s also easily repairable. Yes, long lasting and repairable - that’s all good stuff for the environment we reckon.
- Super durable and washable proofed European 12oz C-Canvas
- Deep enough for good carrying capacity
- Pre-bent straps that stay on your shoulder
- Internal pocket to make sure your phone/wallet/keys aren't always at the bottom
- Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship
- Weight: 275 grams
- Fabric: 12oz Ultra C-Canvas
- Measurements: 41cm deep (or high whichever way you see it) x 15cm wide x 34cm long (along the zip)
- Our C-Canvas has a water resistant coating applied to it. To make this last as long as possible we recommend that you don’t wash it in a machine
- Brush dirt or crusty stuff from the bag once it is dry
- Hand wash in cold or warm water using mild detergent or pure soap - preferably one that's nice to the earth
- Drip dry without creases
- If your veggies do manage to make an escape bid through the bottom of your bag, drop it in to use and we’ll repair it for a small fee

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.

Love Cactus Slim Supertrousers, but wish they came in a lighter, softer fabric? The new Cactus CNC Fabric is for you. These are a similar cut to C-Canvas Slim Supertrousers, so they'll tuck into your gumboots easier, hook up less, and as a bonus, they look really stylish around town. The difference is they're made from our new CNC Fabric, which is less stiff and lighter.
Note: The Armadillo colour fabric is designed to fade to a washed denim-look. With just a little bit of wear, your Supertrousers will fade to a highly-fashionable worn-in look, so you don't have to look like the shiny-pants new fella round town.
- CNC fabric is durable and great to wear
- Made by happy people who’ll be even happier if you buy some
- Handle tricky manoeuvres with the articulated knee design
- Casual styling 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
- Phone pocket for easy access to your digital companion
