Features

Down jackets or puffer jackets are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters. 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 down jacket for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough jackets 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 jackets are known to fail. 

The latest evolution of our women's Cactus Down Jacket 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.

Love! But not for work

Bought this for cold days at work, I'm a tradie... Love the fit. It's super snuggly and warm! Extra cosy in pockets and around neck. Bought it to work in but I don't think it will be much good for that. I get too hot once I get moving around, unless on very cold days. We're in Taupō so it does get chilly! It is great in the morning and was good at a cold evening roof shout where we stood around. The sleeves go halfway over hands which is great for sideline standing, but they'll get wasted at work. Grub, silicone, glue, catching on tools... Love it, but can see if I can keep it clean it will be used more out of work. Would buy the Norbu for sure, but hate unisex fits - too broad in shoulders, shapeless around puku and snug around hips. Make it a womens fit and you've already sold one!!
