MEN'S WORK GEAR

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

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. If you need them longer or shorter than the options available here, give us a call, 0800122682, or email.

Note: if you choose to hem the supertrousers to shorter than standard length, we cannot return them. Use the Supertrouser size chart to see what the standard length is, and gauge how much additional length you need.

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.

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.

• Premium C-Canvas is great to wear and will last for ages
• Women's cut
• Made in New Zealand with high environmental and labour values
• Articulated knee for tricky manoeuvres
• 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

Our canvas jackets are the logical companion to our trouser range. Crafted from the same C-Canvas as our Supertrousers and lined with polyester microfibre fleece, this jacket will protect you from the elements but with way more durability than your average down or waterproof/breathable garment. This makes it a favourite in demanding industries like forestry, building and construction. Due to the heavy fabrics used for longevity and protection, we've darted the arms and gusseted the back of the shoulders so there's no loss of flexibility. The Collared Jacket has the same shell, same lining, same rugged toughness, just without the cranial protection of the Hooded Jacket.

• Internal zip access chest pocket
• Gusseted shoulder construction and darted, giving great range of motion
• Proofed European 12oz C-Canvas is great to wear and will last for ages
• Made in New Zealand with first world environmental and labour values
• 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

The Hooded Jacket is a logical step from our Supertrousers. Crafted from the same Premium C-Canvas and lined with our polyester microfibre fleece this jacket is a tough customer for winter living.

Because winter is cold we've also built in a tailored hood to keep that most important part of your body warm. If you love your Supertrousers you'll love this jacket, check it out....

Love Cactus Slim Supertrousers, but wish they came in a lighter, softer fabric? The new Cactus CNC Fabric is for you. These are a similar cut to C-Canvas Slim Supertrousers, so they'll tuck into your gumboots easier, hook up less, and as a bonus, they look really stylish around town. The difference is they're made from our new CNC Fabric, which is less stiff and lighter.

Note: The Armadillo colour fabric is designed to fade to a washed denim-look. With just a little bit of wear, your Supertrousers will fade to a highly-fashionable worn-in look, so you don't have to look like the shiny-pants new fella round town.

• CNC fabric is durable and great to wear
• Made by happy people who’ll be even happier if you buy some
• Handle tricky manoeuvres with the articulated knee design
• Casual styling which can handle almost any social situation
• Clothing related embarrassing situations are minimised by YKK zips (because they’re the best) and bar-tacks at all stress points
• Phone pocket for easy access to your digital companion
• Cactus-Tough Lifetime Warranty
• Made in New Zealand
