I need a new bite valve for my bladder,there s nothing wrong with bladder itself just the bite part its split !.
It's not the camelback type I'm after i don't like them ,it's the dakine/evoc type,any ideas where I can get one please guys ?,thx.
Amazon search for hydrapak bite valve. There are plenty of brands that are just repackaged hydrapak. Some are cheaper too.
That's what I want thx !
I have been looking for a replacement valve for my old Dakine pack, the same system as Hydrapak, but in the older 5/16" tube fitment (current Dakine replacement valve from CRC didn't fit). So their [url= http://hydrapak.com/store-2/#!/Surge-Valve/p/2479665/category=632580 ]Surge Classic valve[/url] seems the one to go for. I can't find these for sale anywhere though - anyone know of a source?
Lots of the old types (larger size) on ebay lorn, no idea if you'll find that exact one though. As above, Hydrapak produce bladders for a number of companies (Osprey/dakine for a start) so try looking for other 'makes'.
Try the Platypus bite valve, it's quite good.
If it's a Hydrapak bladder (Dakine ones are I believe) and it's not that old, you might be able to get a replacement bite valve under warranty. Mine split after about a year and I bought a new one from CRC, but noticed that the valve they sent had a lifetime no leak warranty, so I enquired about the old valve and after filling in a web form and sending a couple of photos, they popped a replacement in the post.

Great tip, thanks. A free replacement valve is on its way to me for my 2011 Dakine system, a couple of hours after sending the warranty form 😀 .
