Kriega HydraPak Blaster™ Bite Valve - High-Flow, Leak-Proof Replacement
Ensure reliable hydration with the Kriega HydraPak Blaster™ Bite Valve. This high-flow, self-sealing bite valve features a twist on/off lock, 45-degree angle for ergonomic drinking, and includes a dust cover. A genuine replacement for Kriega Hydrapak reservoirs.
The Kriega Hydrapak Bite Valve is the essential mouthpiece for all Kriega hydration systems, including their popular Hydro 2, Hydro 3, and other packs utilizing HydraPak reservoirs. Designed for optimal performance in demanding environments, this bite valve ensures quick, efficient, and leak-free hydration on the go.
Kriega primarily uses the HydraPak Blaster™ Bite Valve, which is renowned for its high-flow design, allowing for a generous sip of water with minimal effort. This is particularly beneficial during intense physical activity, such as motorcycle riding or racing, where quick rehydration is crucial and taking your hands off the handlebars for too long is undesirable.
A key feature of the Blaster™ Bite Valve is its self-sealing mechanism. After each sip, the valve automatically closes to prevent drips and leaks, keeping your gear and clothing dry. For added security and to prevent any accidental leaks during transport or when not in use, it incorporates a simple twist on/off bar. This allows you to positively shut off the water flow when needed.
The valve is typically designed with a 45-degree angle, optimizing drinking ergonomics, especially when wearing a helmet. It connects securely to standard 1/4-inch diameter hydration tubes. Many versions also come with a protective dust cover, which is vital for off-road riding to keep the mouthpiece clean from dirt, mud, and debris.
Made from durable, high-grade compression molded silicone, the Blaster™ Bite Valve is built to withstand repeated biting and flexing. It's also easy to disassemble for thorough cleaning, helping to maintain hygiene and extend the lifespan of your hydration system. Kriega offers this bite valve as a standalone replacement part, ensuring the longevity and continued performance of your Kriega Hydrapak reservoir.
