Why dug?

Not Just a Bottle. He’s a Mate.

There's a million bottles out there, but there's only one Dug.

Dug’s the one mate that shows up and always has your back. Born in Australia, built for anywhere -  he’s your everyday carry, road trip wingman, gym buddy, and all round Legend. 

So, who is Dug?

We reckon everyone needs at least one Dug in their life. You know the one - all care, no frills, just easy going. No dramas, no hassle, the first with the shout and stays cool under pressure. Even remembers the ice for the kids party, a pressie and everything. 
Dug can water your plants, supply drinks when you need it the most and is always ALWAYS the last one standing - loyal and strong.
Yep, he's a real legend. 
That's your mate Dug.

Tougher than your Esky. Smarter than Single-Use.

Dug’s made with food-grade stainless steel and double-wall insulation that keeps drinks icy for 48+ hours. He’s leakproof, sweatproof, and plastic-free -  built to outlast whatever you throw at him.

❄️ 48hrs cold no problem
💦 100 % leakproof
♻️ Plastic & BPA free
🦘 Aussie owned, born and bred

Why we we created Dug?

Well, being totally honest - we just wanted something simple that did the job. Everything out there was either trying to be a fashion accessory or falling apart after a week. So we went searching for a tough bottle we could take to work, leave in the car stay cool, not leak and last us all day. 

No gimmicks. No fashionista vibes. Just cold water, anywhere.

Plastic bottles are cooked.

We all know it - single use plastic bottles are the worst. Cheap, nasty and everywhere you look. We just want to be part of the solution, not contribute to the problem. Dug's built to replace as many plastic bottles as possible, one big unit at a time. 

How it all began...

Dug's never been a fan of paying for plastic bottled cold water. Back in his days as a landscaper in Melbourne, he'd go for the garden hose or fill up an old school thermos. It was a trip many years later to Portland, Oregon (craft beer capital of the world) where he watched locals fill up big metal containers straight from a beer tap - that caught his attention - they were his first encounter with the 'Growler'.

They were steel insulated, kept drinks cold for ages and you only had to buy the bottle once - Absolute genius. He bought one on the spot. It kept his water cold, but it also worked for hot coffee too. It became his best mate and never left his side wherever he went. So he bought a few more for mates back home.

And My Mate Dug was officially born.
