Jug Smuggler was developed by David Ollila of Marquette, Michigan. It’s one of several products that has gone through the full five-step process, from idea to market, at Invent@NMU. Invent@NMU specializes in helping people bring their concepts to market. Ollila has previous experience inventing and selling products, including the Marquette Backcountry Ski.
“Jug Smuggler may not be flashy, but it’s a high quality and effective product,” Ollila said. “It solves a simple problem for adventure riders—purchase a gallon jug of water and easily transport it from your last stop of the day to camp for the night.”
The product is now available on its website, jugsmuggler.com. It enables a motorcyclist to carry a gallon size jug of water. A single Jug Smuggler runs for $49.95 and a bundle of two is discounted at $89.90. Other features of the product include a collapsible design for when it is not in use, a bottle opener and a hole in the bottom to hold the jug upside down and use for running water.
Jug Smuggler is a Michigan made product designed for adventure motorcyclists to easily transport water through unpredictable terrain.
