KA_YO_Prototype

KA_YO_Prototype is the experimental offshoot of Swedish label Ka-Yo, and it makes trail, running and outdoor gear with a technical bent. The name nods to the toughness of the Nordic wilderness and the resilience of the Solaris grape. Outerwear uses sustainable, water-repellent materials, aiming for durability and functionality without losing a considered look.

The range includes cargo trousers and fleece jackets that work on the trail and in town, plus reflective printed t-shirts that add visibility in low light. Colours stay muted and neutral, a nod to Nordic trails and rugged mountain landscapes. If you want technical pieces that don't look out of place in the city, this is a good label to try.
