Bundaberg Rum x The Aussie Pal: Every Piece in the Collab

Two Aussie icons, one colourway. We teamed up with Bundaberg Rum to put the bear on the gear we are known for, finished in black with that unmistakable Bundy yellow. Same Aussie Pal build underneath, same performance, just a look you can spot from across the campsite. Here is every piece in the collab, what each one is for, and which one suits you.

The collab, in one look

Every piece wears the same uniform: black, a slash of Bundaberg yellow, a thin red line and the Bundaberg Rum badge with the bear front and centre. It is a proper colour drop, designed as a set, so the bottle, the jug, the drink cooler and the backpack all look like they belong together.

Underneath, nothing changes. These are built the same way as the rest of our range, so you get the same insulation, the same dual drinking lid and the same finish. The difference is the badge.

Want to see the full range in one place? It all lives in the Bundaberg Rum x Aussie Pal collection.

1L bottle: the everyday one

The 1L Bundaberg Rum Bottle is the one that goes everywhere. Desk, gym bag, worksite, the beach. It keeps water icy for 36+ hours, and the dual drinking lid gives you a protected straw on one side and a magnetic chug cap on the other, so you can sip slowly or drink fast depending on the day.

It is 29cm tall and 9cm wide, weighs 0.6kg empty, and has the swappable silicone grip on the base so it does not clang every time you put it down.

4L jug: water for the whole day out

Four litres is a full day of water for most people, which is exactly what you want when you are camping, working outdoors or spending the whole day at the footy and do not want to keep walking back to a tap.

The 4L Bundaberg Rum Jug has the same dual lid as the bottle, a stainless impact guard around the base and a rubber grip underneath so it sits steady on a camp table. It is 29cm tall, 18.5cm wide and 2kg empty, and it holds ice for 36+ hours. Still deciding on size? Our 4L water bottle guide has the real numbers on weight and who a jug actually suits.

Drink cooler: a Bundy in a Bundy

The Bundaberg Rum Drink Cooler is made to fit a 375ml Bundaberg can or a 345ml bottle. That is the whole idea: a Bundy in a Bundy. It also takes standard 355ml to 375ml cans and 330ml to 355ml bottles.

The stainless steel body keeps a drink cold for up to 3 hours, and the rubber non slip base means it stays where you put it on a camp table or a deck. At $34.95 it is also the easiest gift in the collab.

35L cooler backpack: the esky you wear

An esky is great right up until you have to carry it. The Bundaberg Rum Cooler Backpack 35L holds up to 30 drinks and keeps them cold for up to 24 hours, then goes on your back with padded shoulder straps and a chest strap, so your hands are free for the chairs.

It is waterproof inside and out, with a roll top and a secure strap that seals it tight. Unfolded it stands 67cm tall on a 28cm base and weighs 1.6kg empty. If you want the full head to head, we put a cooler backpack up against a traditional esky in cooler backpack vs esky.

The Bundy Bundle: the lot, for less

If you want the full set, the Bundy Bundle puts three pieces together for less than buying them one by one:

• Your choice of the 1L Bundaberg Rum Bottle or the 4L Bundaberg Rum Jug
• The Bundaberg Rum Cooler Backpack 35L
• The Bundaberg Rum Drink Cooler

With the 1L it is $229, which is $74.90 less than buying the three separately at current prices. With the 4L it is $299, a saving of $94.90.

Which piece is right for you

• One thing to use every day: the 1L bottle.
• Out all day, away from a tap: the 4L jug.
• Keeping a can cold at the barbecue: the drink cooler.
• Carrying drinks for a group: the 35L cooler backpack.
• The lot, or a big gift: the Bundy Bundle.

Buying it as a gift

If there is a Bundy fan in your life, this collab makes gifting easy, whether it is Christmas, a birthday or Father's Day. The drink cooler is a stocking filler that actually gets used. The 1L bottle is something they will carry every day. And the Bundy Bundle covers the camping trip, the barbecue and everything in between in one go.

Looking after it

For the 1L bottle: the lid is top-rack dishwasher safe, and the straw is dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the bottle, as dishwasher heat can dull the finish and damage the vacuum seal. Our cleaning guide walks through the full routine.

The bottom line

Same Aussie Pal build, same 36+ hours of ice, dressed in black and Bundy yellow with the bear on the front. Pick the piece that fits how you spend your weekends, or grab the bundle and sort the lot.
