The KAVU Timber Lane is a sort of Frankenstein's monster of a fleece, but in all the right ways. It's an unusual mish-mash of lightweight 7.5oz polar fleece, bulked up with fluffier 10oz sherpa fleece fabric around the chest and back. Available in eye-catching block colour combos and a trippier kaleidoscope print, it's a great-looking top that's engineered for serious comfort. They've gone for a roomy, relaxed cut with scooped hems front and back, plus dropped shoulders and a half-zip design. We're particular fans of the convenient handwarmer pockets too. Whether you're coming off the slopes, kicking back in the van with your Kindle or revelling in the endorphin hit after a bracing sea dip, the Timber Lane will warm your cockles – especially as the polyester fabric is 100% recycled

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.
