Both of my 8 year old Platypus 2 liter bottles sprang small leaks on my last trip.

I just got back from my local REI, where I had the unpleasant experience of asking for what I thought was a standard near-universal item, the Platypus 2 Liter collapsible bottle with a plain cap on it (as opposed to a push/pull for drinking type of cap) and discovering that, not only were they out of stock, they were not planning on getting any more. All they had were 1 liter and 0.5 liter bottles.

So, I came home and did some searching on the internet. What I found was a very spotty supply of these at a couple of sellers, and it was not even listed any more at most of the major sellers, such as REI and Campmor.

It looks very much like Platypus has discontinued the 2L+ sized bottle, which is a shame, since it is precisely what I use, what I want and what I need. My water system is built around this bottle.

Phooey!

(BTW, I ordered three an hour ago, through Amazon.)
