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. 

Now we can say that we can dress you head to toe in good quality kit.

These are a lighter weight version of our Nuyarn Merino socks – perfect for summer – breathable and non-stinky.*

And they have a 'safety first' reflective Cactus logo on the back.

Now, we know we're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like our other socks, and all thing Cactus, we've made sure these ones will go the distance. 

These lightweight, reflective Cactus Logo socks come in black and in three sizes. Made in New Zealand.

*We make no guarantees about stink-free feet – you will, unfortunately, still have to wash these socks.

We're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like all things Cactus, we've made sure that these ones will go the distance. We did the ultimate test and made Rob wear a pair. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*

For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, Merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer. 

The Cactus socks come in black and in three sizes. Made in New Zealand.

*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing.
