Broken bite valve
I also had a similar problem. Very good and also only bought within the last year. Until the on/off turn dial broke causing a sharp edge which cut me. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

The 90 degree bite valve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 90 degree bite valve has a perfect design and I feel it lets the water flow better then a straight one.

Bite valve
Hope this lasts longer than the last one. Disappointed that I had to buy one in less than a year of having bought the original.

Bite valve number three...but bladder worth it!
It's great that you can get replacements for these, but I'm about to buy my third one - the lever on the first two both broke after only a few months' use. When it snaps it leaves a very sharp point and you can't continue using it. Apart from that, I'm really happy with the bladder, and the lever is good for stopping water flow / spillage when you don't want it (unlike the Vango bladder I had before), which is why I'm persevering even though this is annoying.

I like it better than
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it better than the old one. It’s smaller size is easier to use and on/off toggle is a little better. Only 4 stars because the new cover I ordered separately doesn’t fit well and often falls off.

Works as expected
It is what it says it is. My original bite valve ‘opening lever’ broke after only 9 months of intermittent use - I really hope this one lasts longer - as it isn’t inexpensive and I would have expected several years of occasional use. (Storage inside bedroom wardrobe at room temperature and only used in temperatures above 10c)

Some of the best hydration
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of the best hydration bladders out there. I especially like the easy twist locking bite valve, and the simple detachable hose.

I truly appreciate being able
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly appreciate being able to purchase replacement parts rather than having to add to the landfill by needing to replace the entire hydration system. Thank you for making this possible. I love the Osprey system - especially the magnetic clip which keeps the mouthpiece easily accessible while hiking.

Breaks easily, poor compatibility with older packs
The new design is not durable and doesn’t work well with older packs.
