A classic cotton cap with a secure fit and a clean, low profile. Practical, simple and reliably comfortable on long days out.
Kavu says:
The Strapcap—perhaps our most recognisable design, this was the hat that started it all. Originally devised by our founder Barry Barr back in 1991, it was created after Barry had lost one too many caps to the sea as they blew off his head whilst working as a commercial fisherman. Taking matters into his own hands, Barry combined hardy fabric with a strip of nylon webbing to make a functional hat that would stay firmly fixed to his head. Over 30 years later, it has become a true outdoor classic, loved by everyone from anglers to rock climbers—still made the same way, in the same factory, by the same family as it was all those years ago. The original and the best.
Our Verdict
The Kavu Organic Strapcap in 183g (Medium) has a structured feel that sits close without pressure points. The webbing strap adjustment holds securely, keeping the cap in place. Breathability is good for a full cotton build, and the fabric maintains its shape over time. The curved bill provides good shade, and the overall fit works across a broad range of head sizes. Durability appears strong, with stitching and materials showing confident construction.
