Women's Clothing

Down jackets are a 'must have' in New Zealand for the winter. They're pretty much a uniform in the South Island. They're not cheap and when you buy one you want it to last. You don't want to have to worry about brushing past a tree or holding a pile of firewood and the fabric tearing. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down jacket!

But why stop there ... you can't get much more heavy-duty than our C-Canvas Supertrousers – so how about a down jacket to match? 

And here it is – the next-level tough, Cactus Canvas Down Jacket. This is not a lightweight, 'pop in your backpack for a daywalk' 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.

• 750-loft white European goose down. Ethically harvested, sourced from Germany
• Premium C-Canvas outer, nylon taffeta lining
• Two internal chest pockets, two external hand pockets
• Fleece lined cuffs

A tailored women’s cut of the Men's Supertrousers.

The Women's Supertrousers are the result of giving traditional Cactus functionality the feminine touch of an experienced women’s apparel designer. We present to you our solution to the demands of those women who need real workwear but want to look good in it. These are the perfect all-rounders, whether you are trapping stoats for DOC, working the land or travelling the globe.

Like all Cactus products, these are made to the highest quality standards right here in New Zealand. We use our proven European C-Canvas and YKK zips and incorporate carefully considered design features such as articulated knees and strategic bar tacking for strength and wear-ability. Because of this we can confidently offer a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.

When you first put these on you might be surprised by the stiffness of the fabric. Have faith – after a bit of use they will “relax” and mold to the shape of your body, ending up being possibly your  most comfortable item of clothing  - and they’ll stay that way; truly pants that wear in, not out.

• C-Canvas is great to wear and will last for ages
• Women's cut
• Made in New Zealand with first world environmental and labour values
• Articulated knee for tricky manoeuvres, be they building houses or a quick spot of bouldering
• Casual styling which won't let you down in most social situations
• Bar-tacked at all stress points
• YKK zips because they're the best
• Phone pocket for easy access to your digital companion
• Two back pockets

Womens Supertrousers (8oz) come in Black only.

The new Workfit Supertrousers are an altered version of the Standard Women's Supertrouser to suit the more active outdoor worker. The main differences are:

• Higher rise 

• More room around the hips and thighs

• A soft liner in the waistband

IMPORTANT: These come unhemmed so we can customise them to your leg length.

To work out the length you need measure your leg inseam – this is from your crotch to the floor, in bare feet.

Then specify the length required from the drop-down menu.

Note: if you choose to hem the supertrousers to shorter than standard length, we cannot return them. Use the Supertrouser size chart under the "Sizing" tab below to see what the standard length is, and gauge how much additional length you need. 

If you need them longer or shorter than the options available here, give us a call, 0800122682, or email.

You've asked for it so here it is ladies - Trade Supertrousers in women's fit. These are fully featured gear for those whose work demands tough pants and pockets.

Never reach for a tool that isn’t there with dedicated pockets for a cellphone, ruler, and punches or measuring tape and a reinforced hammer loop stands out for easy use. Crouching with full pockets is no problem - the main pockets at the waist are external so the contents displace away from your body.

The Workfit styling is specifically designed for the female figure and designed to be physical in. We've made the waist band higher to avoid gappage when bending over and added more room in the hip and thigh area for more freedom of movement. We've also made a soft waist band liner for added comfort. Like all Cactus Supertrousers, they'll take some wearing in to soften but will result in the most comfortable, reliable and durable work pants you'll ever own. 

• Super durable and highly wearable 12oz (Antelope) or 8oz (Black) C-Canvas
• Your tools and other essentials are within reach with cellphone, ruler and measure pockets and a hammer loop
• Phone pocket (large enough to fit an Iphone7+ or Samsung Galaxy S7 Note)
• For everything else roomy external main pockets are durable and easy to access
• Wide belt loops for utility belts
• The details that matter, bar tacked stress points and YKK zips
• Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship
