MSR Bite Valve

I purchase this because I thought I was getting what is actually shown in the picture. However, what I received was only the clear rubber bite mouthpiece. The red/black valve part shown in the picture (to which the rubber mouthpiece is affixed by sliding onto the red part of the red/black valve) is NOT included. I needed the whole assembly and not just one part of it. Sticking the mouthpiece onto a tube by itself is useless given that there is NO VALVE which will turn the flow of water on and off. Apparently, I need to buy the entire MSR hydration kit (for $20) which includes the assembly shown in this picture, the tubing and the cap in order to actually get what is shown in the picture for this item. If they are only selling the mouthpiece then they need to advertise it as such. A mouthpiece is not a "valve." The valve (red/black part) shown in the picture is a valve. I needed what was shown and not just a part of it. This is a grossly misleading advertisement and needs to be fixed. I realize we''re only talking about 6-7 dollars, but for that price, I SHOULD have gotten the whole assembly.

Really happy with the product overall but getting the initial fluid flowing requires a strong bite. I guess I would prefer that over one that was too loose though.

I used these with some 1/4" tubing from Home Depot, that connection worked great!

well, what more is there than it works when i drink, and doesn''t drip when i don''t. i still always set my bag on the valve in my car driving out to go hiking, but that''s user error. just replacing an old one i lost and had for several years. looked fine, worked like it did the day i got it. i trust few companies, but msr is one... i''ve had good experiences with all of their products i''ve used.
