ALL WOMEN'S JACKETS & VESTS

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 

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 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.

Tired of waterproof breathable jackets that wear out? The Cactus Mountain jacket is for you. Built in ultra tough 3 layer WTF-3 fabric, with real exterior pockets and no bogus lighter-weight pocket linings that leak, this heavy duty jacket will protect you from the elements with way more durability than your average cut-price waterproof/breathable garment.

Here's what our testers thought of it: "I thought the fit of the jacket is spot on. The storm flap definitely did the job of keeping snow out of the pocket - even when I forgot to zip it up I didn't loose any goodies from the pocket. I really like having no hip pockets, as there is nothing to hinder and bunch up when bending at the hip. The pockets were sufficient for carrying all the stuff I needed for ski patrolling. Another feature I thought was pretty tiptop is the foldaway collar, it works nicely when snow is blowing everywhere."

"I was surprised at how well this thing breathes given how burly the fabric is. I never got hot skiing in it, and it’s obviously gonna last forever. Had a couple of stormy days in it on the mountain, it was totally wind and snow proof and the fabric didn’t soak, so it stayed supple yet bombproof in nasty weather."

• Fully seam sealed
• Super straightforward design for fewer fail points
• Two external zip access chest pockets - no leak points into the garment
• Foldaway hood domes away into fleece-lined tall collar
• Velcro hood adjustment
• Draw cord at hem

• One fabric all the way through the garment - no bogus soft pocket linings
• YKK zips because they're the best
• Guaranteed for life, like all Cactus product
