Big Bite Valve Cover

Seriously. Why do we pay so much for such quality in a product, only to leave out something as important as a valve cover? That’s like buying a Hydro Flask without a lid? Besides that, it was very easy to install. It worked for me to take the silicone mouthpiece off, put it in this cover, align the base of the mouthpiece onto the valve, wiggle them down, and pinch them both and push down once its down the valve far enough till it feels secure. Doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere unless I take it off. As others have said, it’s nice to have peace of mind knowing my water source is kept clean. Seriously Camelbak, add the $6 to the price of your packs to include this. Cheaper alternatives do.

Bought this to keep the sand off my bite valve while on a river trip, which it does well as long as I remember/pay attention before letting go of it after a sip. Works great for that because it fully encloses the entire bite valve instead of just covering from the top like some. It is a hassle to get it on the first time, but once it’s on it can stay there, so just a minor in convenience. Didn’t notice any weird flavor, but I also washed it before using it.

They should all come with these—no joke! The best thing I’ve ever bought for my water backpack. I used my water backpack for cleaning when I worked as a cleaner for 10-16 hours a day. This made it difficult to carry my cup everywhere. Eventually, I bought a CamelBak, which was a great investment, but the products would splash back up on the straw, making me sick. I knew I needed this, and I’m so glad they had it! I bought it and was extremely happy with it. I highly recommend it if you own a water backpack and use it often!

I picked one of these up because I was tired of always worrying about setting my bite valve on the ground. My camelbak is also a part of my airsoft kit so it's pretty important to keep the valve covered. The cover comes in an easy to open package with instructions printed on the back. The instructions are a little hard to follow because it's not entirely clear on how to remove the bite valve itself. I'll try to explain it a little: This may be easier if you remove the bite valve part from the hydrolink, so do that if you wish. It doesn't look like it will separate, but the rubber part will come off the plastic part. I did it by using my fingernail on the bottom of the rubber part to push it up little by little. Once that is off, you can put the bottom part of the cover on. It will be a little easier to reinstall if you wet the plastic part, so do so. The rubber part can be coaxed back on by pushing and twisting until it seats properly back onto the plastic part. Once the cover is installed it works great! It definitely makes the bite valve massive but it makes a great seal and protects against dirt. Also, if you need a cover this is basically your only choice so there you have it!

These are great for keeping the bite valve clean. They’re a little bulky and it’s a little hard to get it through the hole at the top of the CamelBak backpack. It wasn’t too hard to put on. I ordered two of these in separate orders - both times I received the black ones instead of the blue ones I ordered.

First off, I want to say I wish camelbak's came with this nifty cover. During the first month of using my camelbak i got so many mouthfuls of and and dirt that I realized how important this cover would be. I ordered the black cover because it was cheaper than the blue one, figure that out.. but was not disappointed at all. Shipping was fast and painless, and the product arrived on time. Install this little bugger is a bit of a challenge but i found that wetting the ergo hydrolock valve stem before trying to push the bite valve back on helped. Now that I have used this for a few months the only gripe I have with it is that the bite valve leaks slightly when the cover is closed. I think this is because the fit is so tight that it pinches it slightly, allowing some water to drip out. Simply turning off the yellow valve on the ergo hydrolock fixes this for me, but is a slight nuisance when biking. If your pack didn't come with a manual valve, definitely pick one of these up to to keep it from leaking [...] Over all I am very happy with this product and it has help up great ofter constant use.

For me, it’s a necessity. I don’t want to be spitting out dust, dirt, dry grass, and other elements when hiking and setting my backpack on the floor. Wish it was included with the camelbak when purchased. Installation takes awhile. I remove it every time when washing my camelbak. You need to keep twisting the mouthpiece left and right when installing with the dust cover. Eventually the rubber tube will slowly slide straight down. Frustrating, but well worth it. No instructions were provided. Someone on YouTube said to use hand sanitizer as a lube to slip the mouthpiece back on. I didn’t do that. I don’t want hand sanitizer on my mouthpiece. I was able to do it dry for storage purposes.

This is a great addition to any Camelbak user who want to have some cover for their bite valve. I do a lot of outdoor activities, some consisting of very dirty environments. This cheap addition to your camelbak will allow you to prevent small debris from getting into your bit valve. It is very easy to install and has a great, tight fit so that it will not fall off during whatever activity you are doing. Pros: Easy to install Easy to clean Tight fit to both your bite valve and tight fit between the mount and valve cover. Sturdy build - has not failed me yet after going on many hiking and mountain biking trips. Not too expensive considering the quality Cons: None that I can see or have experienced *Please be aware of the compatibility of this item for other Camelbak products. If your Camelbak is not installed with a Big Bite Valve, you may need to look for a different cover. This item does not fit on some mil-spec Camelbaks that have different styled valves.

Easy to fit and very useful

It’s a little difficult to fit but worth it. It’s really good and makes the mouth piece safe from contamination.

Lächerlich teuer aber leider notwendig Tut was es soll aber nicht ganz so gut wie der mitgelieferte Deckel bei source Produkten Meine Finger sind nicht stark genug, um den Deckel einhändig zu öffnen. Schließen geht gut

es un excelente producto y recomiendo 100%.

Perfect. Nunca mas porquerias en tu boca cuando dejas la mochila en el suelo. Acople impecable . Ideal comprar al principio.
