Women's Clothing

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

Complete the uniform with a Cactus Supershirt and be the comfiest and sharpest-looking lass in your team. These shirts work well with the Cactus Supertrousers or the Cactus Skirt.

Made from 100% cotton - light enough to be worn year-round, but sturdy enough to be Cactus-standard tough. Nicely fitted on the sides to show off that waistline.

• Made from 100% cotton fabric - being non-synthetic it won't stink
• NASA grade thread (that's strong!) and military grade buttons
• 2 chest pockets, with a pen holder on the left one.
• Long back to save you from the infamous butt crack issue
  
• With a bit of a squeeze, you could 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
• Long Sleeved or Short Sleeved

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

Like all Cactus products, these are made to the highest quality standards right here in New Zealand. We use our proven Premium 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 workpersonship.

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
