A robust cotton tee suited to travel and time in camp
KAVU says:
The Salmon tee is an ode to the heritage of KAVU. Founder Barry Barr came up with the idea for our first product while captaining a commercial salmon fishing boat in Alaska. Heavy weight garment dyed to withstand the elements at sea or watering hole.
Our Verdict
A robust cotton tee suited to travel and time in camp
The Kavu Salmon SS Tee is a heavier-weight 100% cotton option that emphasises durability and everyday comfort. At 215g (Medium), it has a more substantial feel than lighter tees, with a fabric that holds its structure well over time.
The cotton is soft against the skin and breathable for its weight, making it comfortable for steady walking on the trail or wearing around camp. The heavier fabric reduces airflow compared to lighter options and, when damp, behaves as expected, holding moisture and drying slowly, making it better suited to lower-intensity use.
The fit is relaxed with good room through the shoulders and chest, giving it a natural feel under a pack.
This is not a technical piece, but a dependable choice for travel, downtime, and everyday wear.
