Kavu

The name Kavu stems from the aviation term CAVU, which stands for ‘Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited’, a term used to describe perfect conditions for flying. With Kavu being an outdoor clothing brand, it’s an incredibly apt term for a company that promotes worldwide exploration. Kavu began in 1993, when a man named Barry Barr was tired of losing his hats while working as a fisherman in the often harsh Bering Sea. Fuelled by this frustration, Barry designed the Strapcap, a durable hat created to stay on your head regardless of the conditions you may find yourself in. From there, Kavu has gone from strength to strength, now offering a vast range of clothing, all constructed with the same goal in mind as the Strapcap: hard-wearing, comfortable and functional garments that also hold a timeless aesthetic.
