Features

In Nepal, the Sherpa take on a myriad of tasks - guiding, carrying, cooking and cajoling Westerners on their journeys. When designing our new insulated jacket, these were the attributes we wanted to emulate.

Like every Cactus product, the Norbu (named after a guide during one of our Himalayan sojourns) is a simple, solid, subtle and utterly reliable product. We’ve always been about making good sh*t that lasts a long time and the Norbu is no different.

Using synthetic insulation means it is more tolerant to a bit of moisture - be it rain from the outside or sweat from within. As you’d expect, it sports legendary tough YKK zips and our proprietary “tough arse” reinforcement.

Most importantly, it was designed with our 30-plus years of engineering know-how, and all the long-lasting Cactus toughness that brings. 

Don't need the hood? Check out our (in Rob's words), "corporately smart" collared version!

Care

  • Do not tumble dry
  • Close zips while washing (they'll last longer), you can also lightly oil or wax zips periodically to increase their lifespan

Fantastic jacket

Fantastic jacket. I use it for work, while I am shifting bags of product which sometimes can be a little dirty. I just wipe the jacket down with a damp soft cloth at the end of the day and it comes up great. I love having the hood, it protects my neck from the cold a bit more. Good length down my back and good sleeve length. I am somewhere between 12 - 14 in size and I went for the 14. It gives me a bit more room to layer underneath, not that I have needed too, its keeps me warm. If and when this one wears out I'd buy another for sure.

Jacket for Life

This is a great jacket. Tough, durable, comfy and looks great. Hoping it’s the last puffer I’ll ever need. I’m 75kgs and 5’9 so gambled on a size S which is the perfect fit for me. In saying that, I tend to only wear one layer beneath it so if you want multi layers I’d suggest a medium. Still gutted the WN shop hasn’t reopened.
