Selected User Reviews For Hydrapak Blaster BITE Valve, Black, 1/4"" I.D.
Using these valves in place of the stock valve in all my Platypus Hoser reservoirs worked great. Aside from the awesome reservoirs, there are some mediocre valves made by Pyrpus. This valve may not have as much flow as the stock platypus valve, but I still prefer it. The pros are You can use it regardless of what direction it is facing in your mouth thanks to its circular design. The unit features a valve that turns on and off. You will also find a cap that keeps the A flex tube with an angled head reduces bends if you don't have much length to work with. If you don't have a lot of length to work with it reduces your strain when using The tube actually fits through the passageway on my Mystery Ranch Scree bag. Perfect fit for my platypus tube. The cons are Doe's not flow as fast as the As you can see, there are far more pros than Compared to the stock valve on the platypus reservoir, it is a great upgrade.
I am replacing a bite valve that has a longer stem than the stubby one I have. This is an issue because once I removed the old bite valve and stem from the tubing, the tubing was Shorter stems flop out more easily because they are not solidly held in place. I think the fit would be more secure with a longer stem. My review of its performance is yet to come since I haven't used it yet. In the exchange list, I found nothing of interest. (The exchange list should include items from one's Saved items or Wish List. ) I was going to return this bite valve to Amazon for an exchange with another brand, however, Amazon's Exchange list included nothing of interest.
While it can be removed, the cover is great for preventing dust from sticking to your drink as you hike. As for the on/off valve, I don't currently use it, but it might come in handy if the valve develops a similar leak in the.
Easy to open, the valve squirts water right into her mouth or on her paws without a problem. It doesn't matter how high the water is, as long as it is above the water you are trying to provide! In my experience, this valve performs well with a Mazama Designs backpack, and I can't imagine you could go wrong with this valve if you are looking for a valve that will shoot water easily.
A good fit can be found for the cover. It is easy to take a bath in good water flow without a lot of There was only a slight problem when it came to connecting it to the tube, the fit wasn't that good. However, I found a solution to the problem. Heat gun and shrinking tubing were what I used. Water flow is now secured by securing the hydration valve. If you run into the same issues I did, I imagine you can use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun. Alternatively, you could try a rather lighter, but potential discoloration may result. The product I received was of excellent quality and I am very happy with it.
It is a decent valve, but not the best. Every now and then, even when it is closed, it leaks a little. I am able to operate the valve one-handed most of the time, but the valve is difficult to operate. As a result, if you are mountain biking or riding a motorcycle, it is difficult to switch it on or I find this valve to be an average yet reasonably priced valve.
This product was one of the reasons I bought it instead of Whether the tube is part of the CARP or Osprey offerings is determined by the photos. Each picture showed five raised ridges. There is a general benefit to the more as it offers a more secure connection in general. Even though I kept the product because it still works well for the price, I was disappointed that I did not receive the item that was pictured. I would request Hydrapak to update its photos if it wants to continue to sell this product. In the event that these discrepancies are resolved, I will update my review.
When I was doing a 14er the previous year, my 12-pack crashed into the car door, so I heard about this guy and was hoping he would provide a replacement. To slide this one in, I had to cut the tub by half an inch because the car door broke the first one in a weird way. I really like the cover as well. It works great!.
