Size Guide
Features

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 vests 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 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.

Taking on broad feedback that we've had over the years, from both our customers and our repairs team, we've strengthened them in all the places that down vests are known to fail. 

The latest evolution of our men's Cactus Down Vest features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around the pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers and so much more.

Care

  • Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan
