Women's Jackets and Vests

If you've got the type of job where you can't wear a whole lot of Cactus, then we've made this Women's Softshell Jacket just for you.

Designed for smart casual wear, this jacket is awesome for wearing with shirts, dressy trousers or as part of a corporate uniform. Ideal for tradeshows, corporate events or client visits, this clever jacket will smarten up whatever else you've got on. 

We've sewn our logo on the left so that your company can put their logo on the right.

They are also great for keeping you warm and protected from bugs on the electric scooter ride into the city.

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

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.
