Abstract
A hydration pack has a reservoir for holding fluid, a fluid conduit extending from the reservoir for passage of the fluid from the reservoir, and a bite valve connected to a distal end of the fluid conduit. The bite valve includes a deformable sleeve having an open end defining an inlet and a closed end. At least one outlet is formed between the inlet and the closed end. A sheath is shrouded over all of the outlets and seals the same. The closed end of the sleeve extends beyond the sheath to provide a bite engagement area for opening the valve. Deforming the sleeve at the bite engagement area moves at least one of the outlets away from the sheath to allow fluid flow through the outlet.
