Beyond its practical function as sun protection, the Hiko In Water We Live Cap is above all designed to share your love of water with the whole world. And now you have the chance to do so with real style.
In water we live. We think everyone who paddles can fully identify with these four words in this order. Because they simply embody the feeling after a long day of paddling when everything went right. The feeling when you nail that boof perfectly. When your roll works first time in a hairy situation. It's there just as much for someone who "only" paddles class III as for someone running their first 10 m waterfall. It's there when you close your spray skirt and feel a little nervous. And when you scout a rapid and realise today is the right day. And of course, when you're sitting by the campfire in the evening, the river rushing in the background, and you think — wow, pretty lucky in life.
The HIKO story began in 1990, by the way, because back then in the Czech Republic there simply wasn't any decent paddling gear to buy. So Ivan and Marcela Hilgert had materials shipped from the USA to Prague and started sewing the first life jackets at the kitchen table at night. The business took off, and HIKO gradually grew into the innovative company it is today. "We make what we need to do what we love" — the motto from HIKO's
Instagram page sums up their journey perfectly.
But enough with the history lesson! We simply love this cool cap! And because the slogan is so great, it's also available on
hoodies and
T-shirts!
