Whether it’s a water bottle, an insulated flask, or a cheeky bottle of beer to drink at the summit; KAVU’s brand-new Sip Sling has got you covered. It’s a fully insulated bottle bag that features a cross body adjustable shoulder strap to be worn over your shoulder or across your body like a sling. It’s padded for extra protection on the trail, and includes a stretch mesh exterior pocket for your knick-knacks, patterned daisy chain detailing throughout, and some funky design options to choose from. You can fit a bottle/can up to the size of 32 fl oz (approximately 950ml) too - more than enough hydration for a quick hill walk or an afternoon jaunt around your local meadows
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.
