This is a white-label product, they likely just used lighter plastic or a cheaper frame (cost savings? white color?) and accidentally made it attractive for hikers.

The weight difference to the Nitecore pack being mentioned is only ~15g.

While the price is only 1/5 of the Nitecore packs.

This seems off, either nitecore is putting a very heavy premium on their products while not using obvious weight saving options, or the Haribo pack simply will not deliver on capacity
