I realize Evernew limits their supply to the US, but it's crazy. The Interwebs are totally failing me. I can find the 600mL but not the 2L.

I got a 30 oz. and a 50 oz. on Cyclocamping.com for $18 shipped. Not too bad. Don't know about the full 2 L size ones though.

Good site Dale – but seems that site says that they are backordered (right under where you add to cart ? ) … or am I reading that wrong ?

Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder had a small stock of 2 litre and 0.6 litre Evernews when I was in there 10 days ago.

I found some 1.5L ones at MLH wilderness supply (sales@mlhwilderness.com). Found them on eBay but they were quick with delivery. No 2s tho, which is what I really wanted.

Keep googling, every day.

Put in stock notification requests to Mountain Laurel Designs and Gossamer Gear, both of whom state they're expecting shipments this month. I know that GG takes the requests in order received; I'll bet MLD does too. Check other firms to see if they do backorder requests of some sort.

I got a 2L one from Trail Designs last spring and two 400 ml ones from a place called "Great Outdoors Depot."

The problem is that thanks to the newer Platypus' being incompatible with the Sawyer Squeeze Filter, the Evernew carriers have become highly sought after. That's Platypus' loss for instituting non-standard threads! Plus I understand that the Evernew factory in Japan was out of production for quite a while after the tsunami and is still trying to catch up.

Got in on the preorder from Gossamer Gear and MLD because I follow them on facebook. They are now sold out. They went fast. Good luck.

Why do people like these so much? I've the same platy for like 3-4 years now and it works great. Are they desirable because they are so hard to find?

Michael,

Platys and many other water bottle threads work fine with the Sawyer Squeeze if you replace the 1/8 washer with a 1/16 neoprene washer which allows the platypus threads to set deeper. Costs about 20 cents.

Very cool thanks for the info.

I guess a year or so ago when the Sawyer was starting to get popular people were having issues with Platys, and it was a general conscientious that they just "didnt work, but the Evernew ones did".
