ALL WOMEN'S CLOTHING

Down jackets or puffer jackets are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters. Good women's 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.

In true NZ made style, we're always looking for ways to make our gear even better and our 2020 design tweaks do just that.  Strengthened in all the places we do repairs and taking on board customer feedback, the latest evolution of the Cactus Down Jacket features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers and so much more.

• 100% nylon two layer waterproof outer
• Adjustable and removable zip-off hood
  
• Extra strong main zipper with two way slider
• 750-loft white goose down. Ethically and responsibly sourced
• DWR treated down - this means when it's raining the down itself is water repellent, anti-clumping and carries on doing it's job to keep you warm and insulated
• Nylon taffeta lining with extra internal reinforcing on the lower back to avoid wear and tear around your 'seat'
• Two internal chest pockets, two external (fleece lined) hand pockets
• Fleece lined cuffs 

These are Cactus's answer to 'softer' shorts. These have been through some rigorous wear testing and we have come to the firm conclusion that they are the ultimate summer go-to shorts for cycling, tramping and heading to the beach. 

The SOS's are the shorts version of our Womens SOS Trousers. The same cut and fit, only shorter. 

They're made from a lighter, polycotton drill fabric, which has mechanical stretch and is super durable - and our idea of durable is based on the Cactus Supershorts so we don't make that claim lightly. 

Great features like quick drying fabric and mesh pockets, ideal for water drainage post jetty jumping. Triple stitched crotch. YKK zip and of course they come with our lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. 

Available in black only.

Made right here in NZ. 

A Cactus skirt? Don't worry, we're not having an identity crisis... Cactus are still totally focused on making fully functional and incredibly tough outdoor gear - this time in the form of the Superskirt.

This beautifully crafted A-line activewear skirt is built to serve a certain kind of woman - the Cactus woman. Active in the outdoors and always on the move, a Cactus lass needs something functional yet tidy so she can go straight from the garden to the pub, or from working on her feet to refueling at a cafe.

Made from our lighter and less stiff CNC fabric - this outdoor work skirt is incredibly durable, but soft and easier to wear. It has front and back pockets (and not those ridiculous fake ones like some skirts), sturdy buttons and a YKK zip. 

Every superwoman should ditch the cape and get a Superskirt - it's much more practical.

Available in any colour as long as it's black.

- Practical and flattering knee-length
- A-line shape with a back split for movement
- Nice wide band for comfort
- Semi-relaxed fit, should sit approx. 3-5cm below the belly button
- Front and back pockets
- Button and zip closure

Made locally right here in Christchurch, NZ, our Cactus tee is not any old t-shirt.

Made from 93% cotton and 7% lycra (elastane) they've got a slight stretch, and superior comfort and durability.

Down vests or puffer vests are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters and without the arms, they're great for autumn and spring too. 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 women's down vest for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough vests that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.

Our limited edition Tees have a little something for everyone. This one is for the lady tradies among us. A result of our Tee comp, this cracking series by the talented Josh are Cactus all over.

Step Up is the ultimate Cactus tee for those hard core tradies or DIYers who love to cruise around with a ladder on their shoulder. The tee itself is sewn in workshop right here in NZ and the print has been done down the road and it is. It also beats most other Tees hands down in a quality contest.

We went out to our Cactus crew (you lot) for fresh inspo with tee design ideas - this beaut is 'Cact-Us' by Mariya.

Made locally right here in Christchurch, NZ, a Cactus tee is not just any old t-shirt and this print has an especially cool backstory. The 1992 Tee is a reboot of one of the first tees Cactus ever made, way back in 1992.

"Back in the early 90s, Cactus was founded as a way to keep a few folk from having to get real jobs and in an effort to provide the best locally-crafted apparel and backpacks to our people. One of those people was Mr D Best, otherwise known as Tobius D. The Cactus Climbing and Space Exploration was our first ever print and was a play on words (a backpack is, after all, an enclosed space. Thus Cactus was all about exploring space.) 30 years later, the only things that have changed are our PO Box and phone number - we're still exploring space and still doing it 100% here in New Zealand." - Ben Kepes, Founder
