I’m Russ Woolsey, and I founded Daylodge gear during the pandemic, a time when the world felt upside down. Public spaces were closed, and venturing out meant rethinking how we connected with the outdoors.
For me, and so many others, our vehicles became more than just transportation—they transformed into our day lodges, basecamps, our sanctuaries for adventure, work, and life on the move. That’s when Daylodge was born, with a mission to help you Create Your Space wherever your journey takes you.
At Daylodge, we design gear that empowers you to roam freely and live fully, whether you’re chasing waves, exploring backroads, or simply carving out a moment of peace in the wild. Our flagship product, the AirHaven awning, is the heart of this vision. Inspired by my years of kiteboarding, I poured my passion for harnessing the elements into designing an awning that’s as tough, versatile, and intuitive as the adventures you chase. The AirHaven sets up effortlessly, withstands the elements, and transforms your vehicle into a home base, no matter where you park.
Every product we create at Daylodge is built to spark freedom and connection. From our awnings to our Workspace Camp Collection, we’re here to help you craft a space that’s uniquely yours—whether you’re adventuring solo, with friends, or with family. My kiteboarding background taught me that the right gear can turn a fleeting moment into something unforgettable, and that’s what drives us to design with purpose, durability, and a deep love for the outdoors.
We’re more than a brand; we’re a community of roamers, dreamers, and doers. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Let’s keep creating spaces that inspire, wherever the road leads.
Adventure on,
Russ Woolsey & the Daylodge Team
