This is a bestseller for Pacific-northwest based brand, KAVU, and we can understand why. First off, there’s not much more versatile than a lightweight fleece – this is something you can wear through the year. Late on summer evenings when the sun dips below the horizon or on bright winter mornings when the first snowflakes fall from the sky. Made from 100% recycled polyester, it’s breathable and moisture wicking, so great for activity but soft and comfy enough for everyday life. It’s also equipped with two large handwarmer pockets with zip closure so you can head out with no bag and your valuables tucked away safe in the knowledge that they won’t get lost halfway up a mountain. Whether you do or not is kind of on you. But you’ll be toasty warm and comfy if you do

Ethically Sourced Materials - This product is made with 100% recycled polyester
Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
And if you’re wondering about the name, KAVU is an aviation acronym that stands for ‘klear above, visibility unlimited’. It means it’s a perfect day for an adventure.
I love the color, pattern and the thickness of this sweater
