Looking to replace a source bite valve which I find let's air back in and is generally annoying to use.
What recommendations can you give for a replacement?
Ta.

Always like Dakine valves but things have likely moved on.

When I used bladders Camelbak valves were always fine for me (higher flow and "easier" to use).

Same here. From Platypus, Source, Camelbak, Inov-8, to the one that comes with Evadict, I prefer Camelbak most, then Evadict (Decathlon). Small differences, but the Camelbak suits me best too.
