The Fur Ball is one seriously cosy cap. It's your classic five-panel camp cap with a flat bill, but the main body of the hat features a fluffy high-pile sherpa fleece for four-season comfort. And in case you're worried about cooking your head, it's also got nice big eyelets for breathability – plus the usual KAVU moisture-absorbing sweatband. The front panel is buckram-lined canvas, while the d-ring webbing back adjuster ensures a perfect fit

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.
