Platypus says:
Building upon the original compact, fast and versatile performance of its 1L sibling, the QuickDraw 2L Filter System adds potential with a higher volume dirty reservoir and more ways to customize your system with compatible vessels. The 2L dirty reservoir is light and compact and will hold up to the rugged demands of a months-long thru-hike. Its wide-mouth opening and fill handle keep your hands dry and allow you to quickly fill it so you can keep moving. Like its predecessor, the dirty side I/O (inner/outer) threads attach to the QuickDraw reservoir as well as to standard narrow-mouth bottles like smartwater® and other Platy bottles. On the clean side, select between the DrinkCap for drinking and pouring and the ConnectCap™ that screws onto narrow-mouth bottles and has a hose attachment point. The short hose is fitted with a quick connector that pairs with any hydration reservoir with a quick disconnect, allowing you to quickly squeeze your water directly into your reservoir without taking it out of your pack. Two cleaning methods—shake-to-clean and backflushing—keep the filter flowing fast throughout your trip, while the Integrity Check process allows you to ensure it’s still safely filtering water. The QuickDraw 2L Filter system is the ultimate squeeze filter for pushing further and deeper in the backcountry.
