Are you near a Sam's Club? I'm not sure if they all have the same
stuff.

The actual drinking tube is the same on both. The mouthpiece is
different. You can purchase a Camelbak mouthpiece for around $6.00
and use it on the High Sierra. I know because I have my old Camelbak
Big Bite valve on there now. There was nothing wrong with the High
Seirra mouthpiece per say, just that the Camelbak had a higher flow
rate so it's
easier to get more water at any given time.

There are a few on EBay at this moment. I am not connected in any way
with the seller.
