Cactus Outdoor Christchurch

I purchased a pair of Cactus trousers and shorts for workwear due to their reputation as hard wearing. A pair of cheap jeans would last a me a year so I thought it was worth spending more for a quality NZ made product that would last many years and would reduce waste. Both Cactus products blew out the inseams within 12 months. The stiffness of the fabric causes them to wear through anywhere there is a crease. The zip broke on the trousers. Considering the company slogan "gear to be worn in, not worn out" and the price point the products are sold at I fell justified in feeling let down. I have since purchased some Hard Yakka trousers and shorts from Bunnings for half the price which have been used for about 18 months each with minimal wear and tear. When I spoke to Cactus about the issues I was having and they did not offer a resolution. I was asked if still wanted the trousers I had dropped off for repair or if they should be thrown out and that was it. I am quite disappointed in my experience with the products and the staff and would recommend to others who are looking for quality workwear trousers and shorts to shop elswhere.

Heard about the bags a while ago, and finally got a chance to check out the store. I was helped by Rob, who turns out is one of the founding members 30 years ago. The quality of the products and costumer service is second to none. Also refreshing to see a company that focuses on functionality and durability, with simple and effective design. Highly recommend.
