We’re Coody Camping Tents and Gear Manufacturer

After 30 years in emergency services and over a decade of off-grid overlanding post-retirement, I’ve developed a no-nonsense standard for outdoor gear: it needs to work, every time, no excuses. That’s why I was so impressed with the Coody Stainless Steel Camping Mug and Polarized Sunglasses Lenses—two deceptively simple pieces of gear that have earned a permanent place in my setup. Let’s start with the mug. I was skeptical at first—how good could a mug really be? Turns out, very good. I put it to the test during a winter drive through Flagstaff into the red rock country of Utah, where mornings dropped below freezing. I poured boiling coffee into the mug and set it on the tailgate while I packed up. Forty minutes later, that coffee was still hot enough to sip. The handle stayed cool, the lid sealed tight, and it even survived a drop onto hard rock without so much as a dent. What I appreciated most was how easy it was to clean—no weird smells, no gunk build-up. This mug was clearly made with experience in mind. As for the sunglasses lenses—they might be one of the most practical upgrades I’ve made this year. I wear prescription glasses, and most clip-on lenses are either flimsy or distorted. Not Coody’s. These snapped into place cleanly, didn’t slide around, and dramatically cut down glare while I was driving rocky trails in Moab and glassing for wildlife during sunset. I wore them on water, in snow, and through thick desert sun, and they never let me down. Crystal-clear vision, lightweight, and durable enough to be tossed in my glovebox between stops. What I admire most about Coody’s products is that they’re obviously built by people who camp. They don’t cut corners, and everything I’ve used so far has delivered performance that matches or beats “big name” gear at a better value. For folks who demand reliability in the wild, Coody’s not just a brand—it’s a partner in the journey.
