Have you noticed the holes in the leaves of kawakawa?

Don't be deterred! Those holes were made by the hungry caterpillars of the kawakawa looper moth.
Research suggests that chewed leaves actually have more active compounds.
Kawakawa is a powerful plant that supports your whole body! Which is why we use it in a range of our products.

Do you think it's getting harder to buy a farm?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A piece of land of his own. That’s the dream for young King Country farmer Rameka Edwards.

As simple as it sounds, the barriers are formidable, with land expensive and sheep and beef lacking the traditional share milking pathway of dairying.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.
