Ogie Outdoors · Est. 2017

Our story.

Everyday gear should feel natural, comfortable, and easy to live in. Ogie began with that simple idea — and a love of the outdoors passed down from a father to his son.

The outdoors, every day

Where it began

A single idea,
built to live in.

Founded in 2017, Ogie began with a simple idea: everyday gear should feel natural, comfortable, and easy to live in. What started as a single product quickly became something larger — a brand built around thoughtful design, practical comfort, and simplicity.

The Ogie™ Mask was created to challenge conventional face coverings with a more flexible, wearable experience. As people wove it into their daily routines, it became clear Ogie was about more than one product — it was about essentials that fit seamlessly into real life. Today we design versatile pieces made to move with you, whether you're heading out, staying active, or simply going about your day.

Outdoors, every day

Our mission

"To create thoughtfully designed essentials that support everyday comfort, movement, and ease."

In loving memory

Joseph Urban Jr.

1955 — 2016

Everyone has that one person, or one moment, that inspired their love for the outdoors. For me, it was my dad. He always found time to take me camping and fishing, and it never mattered about the catch — we cherished those moments. He taught me to respect the outdoors and stay humble. It was never about the size of the trophy, but the moments you spend doing what you love, with the people you love. He lived as the perfect example of what being an outdoorsman is really about: humility, respect, love, and a genuine caring for everything outdoors.

"I can only hope to be half the man my father was — and through my life and Ogie Outdoors, I hope the message he taught me can live on."

— Joseph Urban III, Founder
