Made For Work Coozie

Your hands take a beating day-in, day-out. Grease, degreaser, parts cleaner, the occasional rotor edge. Why subject them to thermal shock when you reach for an after-work refreshment? The Made For Work Coozie is what we (somewhat earnestly, mostly not) call a Beverage Thermal Management Sleeve.

What it actually is: a foam can sleeve, sized to the standard 12 oz can, with the Made For Work branding on one side. It folds flat for pocket storage; the foam compresses on the long axis of the can and pops back into shape when you slide a fresh can in. It's the small kind of gear that a workshop accumulates without anyone deciding to buy it, except that nobody else makes one with the Made For Work mark on it.

The fold-flat carry is the part that makes it more useful than the rigid neoprene kind. A foam sleeve packs in a back pocket, a tool bag, a hoodie pouch. Always be prepared.

Built by a tool company

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče, Slovenia, since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The Made For Work line includes the small stuff alongside the tools and the apparel. Coozie naming aside, the construction is honest: a foam sleeve that folds flat, sized for the standard can, branded with the Made For Work mark.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The coozie is the after-work end of the drinkware spectrum. The Enameled Coffee Mug is the morning end; the Insulated Vacuum Bottle covers the long bench session in the middle. The whole Made For Work workshop kit (apparel, drinkware, bottle openers) is in: What we wear in the workshop →
