The Rope Bag is quintessential KAVU. The recipe is simple: in a cast-iron pot, combine two parts 'core outdoor' and one part 'lifestyle vibes'. Cover and cook over a 'fun has no season' campfire. The outcome? A 15+ year smash-hit icon and one of the top selling outdoor bags in the entire USA.
Often imitated, but never replicated. What's in your KAVU?
This cotton canvas sling features an adjustable rope shoulder strap with side release buckle, two vertical zip compartments, two key or cell phone pockets, and a padded back with KAVU embroidery.
