Looks like Hydrapak is clearing out their old-style Seeker bottles, which they’re no longer making. The old ones are a lighter color, have a black lid with gray stripe, thinner fabric, and are worse tasting, but they’re also an ounce lighter (1.7 vs 2.7 oz for the 2L). Having used both, I way prefer the new ones, due to taste and robustness.
I figured that as well. I don’t plan on storing water in it, just need to use it to squeeze water into my plastic water bottles. My previous water bag was a 2L Platy with the top cut off I used to scoop water and then us my Steripen in it before pouring into my water bottles. Typically just a pair of repurposed .5L PET.
