Kavu Fisherman Chillba is a versatile and travel-friendly hat with roots in a kayaking trip to Okinawa, where inspiration came from a local guide and his traditional straw hat.

The hat is reversible and packable, and features an adjustable chin strap with a locking buckle that keeps it in place in wind and weather. The stainless steel ring in the brim ensures the shape is retained, even after being packed away.

The hat is still produced in Seattle, and the steel ring is made locally at Ballard Sheet Metal, right next to KAVU's headquarters. With its unique shape and functionality, this is a reliable shield against the elements – and a guaranteed conversation starter.
