Kavu Clothing Straight from the Woods of Washington State

By

Spring is finally starting to set in, which means it’s time to put away the heavy pants and coats and find yourself some new outdoor gear. Kavu is a Seattle-based company that places comfort and durability at the forefront without forgetting that you want to look good too.

Here are some of our favorite items from the brand:

The Charlestown button-up takes the classic two-pocket design and prepares it for battle with the elements. The shirt is 100% cotton so it’s breathable, and has thick threads so you don’t have to worry about it getting too beaten up when you’re pushing through the forest. It’s available in an attractive selection of colors, faded enough that you won’t feel too fancy on a raft, but bright enough for grabbing a beer afterward.

If it’s a bit warmer where you live, you should also check out the Coastal, a short-sleeved button-up built with the same high quality cotton and thick threading you’ll need while climbing a mountain or racing down it. Whether you button up or let it flow, you’ll be comfortable and stylish without your clothes weighing you down.

Kavu’s Big Eddy shorts are perfect for doing pretty much everything. You can get them in a myriad of colors, and they don’t skimp on functionality. Built from 100% Vagabond Nylon, these shorts stay light when wet, and dry fast so they won’t hold you up from moving to the next activity. The shorts have a built-in herringbone webbing belt to keep them up, and half-moon pockets to store whatever you don’t want to dig through your pack for.

If you need something a little more sturdy and don’t plan on getting as wet, the Base Camp pant is exactly what you’re looking for. They’re constructed from durable and warm Moleskin cotton, so they’re great for sitting around the campfire after a long day of hiking. These pants have pockets everywhere, both with and without zippers, so you won’t lose anything important when you have to run. The colors aren’t exciting, but they don’t need to be; classic khaki, olive, and navy options are all appropriate for the office or the pub, but won’t show the dirt and wear of nature after a long weekend out in the woods.

You can check out the full line of outdoor gear on the Kavu website.

Board dorks make ninja suits for other board dorks
Snowboarders from Portland, OR make the best base layers for snowboarders
Merino Ninja Suit in yellow

Twenty-one years ago, there was a basement in Portland, Oregon, where the love of a few snowboarders was enough to inspire them to launch a business. Of course, with no prior experience in the tech or the clothing business, it was a tall order. But with only the love of flying down a mountain with a board strapped to his feet and the knowledge of what it takes to give your trip down the mountain the comfort it needs, they launched one of the raddest snowboarding brands on the market. The Airblaster Ninja Suit is the way to keep your personality and your comfort as you enjoy the greatest ride the mountain offers.
Focus on the trip down the mountain

The original Ninja Suit is the one-piece hooded base layer that put Airblaster on the map over two decades ago. It was developed to virtual perfection over the course of nearly 20 years of testing and abuse by our Ninja Ambassadors and Professional Team, which included Leanne Pelosi, Temple Cummins, and Taylor Carlton. If you need a base layer, this is simply the best. Experience the action and fringe benefits of being a Ninja while enjoying the undeniable function (and fashion) of the original Ninja Suit.
