Workfit Supertrousers Womens

Updated sizings and fit for 2023: The new Workfit Supertrousers are an altered version of the now extinct 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.

• Essentially, Canvas Supertrousers and Supershorts require a bit of a wear-in period to soften the fabric.
• The first three or so washes should be done by hand, then you should be right to machine wash.
• Use cold water with a mild powder detergent, rinse thoroughly, very gentle or no spin and line-dry.
• Do not iron, dry clean, spin-dry or use bleach.
• When new, the stiffness of the fabric means it creases in points rather than soft folds - washing them in an aggressive or hot machine can cause damage on the crease points. 
• Our canvas also has a waterproofing agent which, if washed in an aggressive or hot machine, can shift and discolour. This will appear as white lines which cannot be removed.
• Washing inside out will minimise lighter coloured creases on the outside of the fabric, but won’t remove stains quite as well.
• Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
• Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
• Note that all the colours will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
• If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email
