I've used this product for years with little trouble. Occasionally one would wear out and need to be replaced, but I always felt like they lasted for many miles on the trail. It keeps the back of the car dry on the way to the trailhead and then is easy to open once I need access to water.
I wouldn't say I'm clumsy, but I also wouldn't say I've never sat on the bite-valve of my Camelbak Omega reservoir. The original valve lacks the awesome HydroLock feature, and any time I sat on the valve when taking a break on the trail, I'd end up with a wet behind and an uncomfortable walk. Problem solved! Also, the right angle of the valve in relation to the hose makes it much easier to drink on the move. I can keep the hose behind me and still drink without getting tangled up. A really great addition to the Camelbak.
Camelback makes some terrific gear but this is not one of them. The main issue is that the shut off lever is simply inserted into the unit, so falls out fairly easily. You can lose your water and/or get wet. This is one area I think Platypus has done a better job.
I use mine bladder in my pack for multi-day backpacking trips. Most packs including mine have the hydration sleeve either in the main compartmemt or in a pocket that is pressed right up to the main compartment. With a full pack this puts a lot of pressure on a full bladder (no pee jokes...) and this thing keeps unwanted spills at bay.
it baffles me to think this wasn't included with my camelback, its vital and makes using a back a dry experience. buy this now and the wet spot on your shirt will be no more, thank God
i love the 90 degree angle! its so easy when its resting on the sternum strap. really comfy just resting on the side of your mouth too. the lock is awesome too. easy cleaning when you run soapy hot water through it!
