AFAIK there is only one Schnozzle pump bag. Mine is yellow. While there are 2 items listed on the search page you reference, they both take you to the same item page.

There is a 4 gram difference (I have both) – the UL one uses the same material for the tube portion at the bottom instead of a heavier fabric used on the earlier one, and a cap to cover the output valve rather than an intake valve for it to snap into.  Function is identical.

That doesn’t make what I posted wrong.  I was comparing the weights and design of the two pumpbags the OP was asking about, which are the same 42L size.

The link to Campsaver the OP gives shows the big orange one also. No size was mentioned by the OP

Hopefully almost a year after he asked the question it is all worked out.

Casey,

Very interesting pictures. You are saying that the one on the right (with the cap over the valve) is newer and a few grams lighter, right? Mine looks like the bag on the left, as does every one I have seen. Further, all the (web) sources I find for the Schnozzle show the model on the right, including the Exped USA product page.

How did you acquire this unicorn?

Edit: I take it back…I did find one source

John, I purchased two Downmat UL 7 LW’s recently.  One was older stock, and one was brand new.  The newer one came with the lighter pumpbag (59g versus 63g).

I have it listed for sale in the Gear Swap section, asking $30 shipped if you are interested.

There are actually THREE different versions – the older style has two variations.  The oldest ones have an actual extra input valve that the output valve snaps into (I have that pictured on the left above), then there’s a newer but not the newest version that has something that looks the same in the same place, but it is solid rubber, not a valve.  Here’s a picture of it (on the left) compared to the oldest style (on the right).  Weight is identical (63 grams each):
