This replacement valve is great! Using it has made me realize that the one I originally had may have been faulty; if that one was open while I was hiking with a fairly full reservoir, the water would dribble out pretty quickly. Therefore, I had to open and close it often, which is probably why it broke with less than a year of use. This one doesn't leak/dribble when I'm hiking, even if the reservoir is completely full, so I expect it to last longer. I've seen other reviews from people whose open/close switches broke, so that seems to be a significant flaw in an otherwise extremely well-designed reservoir.

It fits but the one I replaced had a magnetic attachment. Am I missing it? Doesn’t snap to the magnet on the tube?

I've lost count of the number of replacement bite valves I've bought now - this is at least the third, possibly more. I leave it open most of the time to reduce the amount of movement, but the plastic level still snaps and really hurts when it cuts you. I've also got separate sheaths - I've only had the bladder for about 3 yaers and I use it every weekend, and generally I find it good, but this is very frustrating :(

This was easy to install and have lasted fore many trips. Very durable

I also had a similar problem. Very good and also only bought within the last year. Until the on/off turn dial broke causing a sharp edge which cut me. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

The 90 degree bite valve has a perfect design and I feel it lets the water flow better then a straight one.

Hope this lasts longer than the last one. Disappointed that I had to buy one in less than a year of having bought the original.

It's great that you can get replacements for these, but I'm about to buy my third one - the lever on the first two both broke after only a few months' use. When it snaps it leaves a very sharp point and you can't continue using it. Apart from that, I'm really happy with the bladder, and the lever is good for stopping water flow / spillage when you don't want it (unlike the Vango bladder I had before), which is why I'm persevering even though this is annoying.

I like it better than the old one. It’s smaller size is easier to use and on/off toggle is a little better. Only 4 stars because the new cover I ordered separately doesn’t fit well and often falls off.

It is what it says it is. My original bite valve ‘opening lever’ broke after only 9 months of intermittent use - I really hope this one lasts longer - as it isn’t inexpensive and I would have expected several years of occasional use. (Storage inside bedroom wardrobe at room temperature and only used in temperatures above 10c)

Works as promised. Original bite valve lasted 4 years.

Some of the best hydration bladders out there. I especially like the easy twist locking bite valve, and the simple detachable hose.

I truly appreciate being able to purchase replacement parts rather than having to add to the landfill by needing to replace the entire hydration system. Thank you for making this possible. I love the Osprey system - especially the magnetic clip which keeps the mouthpiece easily accessible while hiking.
The new design is not durable and doesn’t work well with older packs.

Fits perfect, hope I don't accidentally yank this one out on another trail run :D they are actually pretty hard to pull out!
