Chums is a friendly outdoor brand that grew out of a simple need. Mike Taggett was a river guide on the Colorado River and noticed that his customers often lost their goggles in the water. In 1983, he invented a practical solution to the problem: a neoprene goggle holder that held the sunglasses securely in place. He called it the Original Chums Retainer.

The Chums brand, named after the cheerful golden retriever Chumley, has been synonymous with a friendly, nature-loving attitude to life ever since. Their simple products secure our favorite parts and thus contribute to successful excursions and adventures on and off the water. Since 1985, a red-footed booby has been the mascot of the brand, which stands for adventure and travel on waters all over the world and today offers a wider range of products including goggle straps, cap retainers, bags, floating key rings and other practical items for adventure seekers.

Chums is headquartered in Hurricane, Utah near Zion National Park and surrounded by the great outdoors of the southwestern United States. From there, the company continues to develop and produce smart new items for adventurous people and water activities. Without their products, we would have already sunk dozens of goggles and caps in Lake Constance.
