Review on πŸ’§ Enhanced Ergo Hydrolock by Camelbak by Barry Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well with lock but drips a bit without.

I first bought a large 100 oz Camelbak Hydration Pack. reservoir and this lock bite valve design. On a recent kayak trip, my son pulled my bin out of the kayak and ripped off the yellow bracket. We couldn't find him. Little did I know it just slipped right out of the end of the valve. I've always liked the convenient design of this valve, but it WILL leak a little if not blocked. This was never a problem until my wife broke both her wrists and it seemed like the perfect hydration system for her to use "hands free". Unfortunately, we found that there is some dripping when the valve is not closed. It comes on very slowly but she slept next to her with it on and it made a couple of big wet spots. I had to figure out how to get her to lock it with just her teeth and finger. For my normal hiking and cycling use, it's absolutely perfect for me.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some difficulties
