I have been very impressed with the Kavu Synthetic Strapvisor so far. I have been using it for a little over a year now, and it has taken some serious abuse! It shows no signs of wear and tear, and the color is till the same as when I bought it, no fading!

Pro: Stitching is very solid, super easy to adjust when the wind picks up, dries very quickly, and there is a d-ring on the back so you can clip it to your pack or in my situation, a pfd!

Con: The bill does not really hold its shape that well, but some could look at this as a plus, for ease of stuffing in a pack.

Yep, I don't my exact size but I am an XL helmet and the KAVU StrapVisor and Strap Cap fit me.

This visor is perfect for me... I can't really wear caps (dreadlocks) but this provides as much sun protection for my face. Dries pretty quick, too!

Kavu's website says their synthetic visors are made out of

Kavu's website says their synthetic visors are made out of 100% nylon, but the specs on this one say "Force 10" canvas. What is the difference?

Think they mean just some trim and the underside of the bill. The bulk of it is still nylon. Either way, built to last.

I absolutely love the Kavu Strapvisor. I bought one from Backcountry and haven't looked back since. It has been worn regularly but still looks brand new. These things can take any adventure you throw at it

Fantastic headwear

I have loved this visor since the first time it ever graced my head. It is comfortable and lightweight. The synthetic material drys extremely fast. It is also made in the USA, which is just the cherry on top of an over great product.

I have had one of these bad boys for probably 4 years now. I wear it hiking, climbing, kayaking, even mountaineering under my helmet. They look good, are easy to adjust, and are comfortable. I throw mine in the wash every once in a while and it looks brand spanking new. Great sun protection!

Works great

By:
October 13, 2010

I bought this to wear running and it works great. I had been searching for a sweatband and I discovered that I needed a hat too. I didn't want to wear or buy both (I have curly hair that has a mind of its own, even when its captured in a braid). This visor doesn't slip and I don't even feel like I have it on unless I see my shadow. It wicks the sweat away from my face and shades my eyes. The strap is easy to adjust, even when on the move. I have no doubt that it will perform well during other activities (rafting, hiking).

I have had one of these bad boys for about 10 years now, and it's still kickin. Has survived many many hours in the sun/sweat/water and hardly looks of it. Got another just to have a spare. Staple on every adventure.

Comfy, perfect fit

By:

Love it. My husband finally got tired of me stealing his so I got my own. His was a lot stiffer than mine when it was new, so I was excited that this one was comfortable right off. I use it for everything and it's flexible enough that I can fit my sunglasses under it for fly fishing.

great visor

By:

Great visor. I had one just like it before and had to give it to my friend who I stayed with in Honduras because she had one just like it that was her favorite and got chewed up by a dog. It is a great hat for going fast on boats, doesn't fly off. Shades the eyes and is cool, not heavy. I wear mine to surf and just pull it down around my neck when I catch a big one. That way, if I fall, I won't lose it.
