KAVU is more than a name; it’s an aviation acronym for a perfect, cloudless day. Founded in 1993 on the rainy docks of Seattle, KAVU started with a single “Strapcap” that wouldn’t blow off in a gale. Today, they are the purveyors of “True Outdoor Wear”—gear designed to be climbed in, camped in, and lived in until it’s falling apart at the seams. KAVU doesn’t build gear for elite mountaineers chasing oxygen-deprived peaks; they build gear for the “everyday explorer” who knows that a good day is measured by the amount of dirt on your shoes and the size of the smile on your face.
