How does the 'bite valve' mentioned in the soft flask description work?
After seeing the unfamiliar part name 'bite valve' in the soft flask product description, the user wants to check how its drinking method and structure differ from a standard water bottle cap.
It is a mechanism where you lightly bite the soft silicone mouthpiece to drink, and once you remove your mouth, it closes on its own to prevent water from leaking.
A bite valve refers to a cap structure where the gap opens and lets water out only when lightly bitten with your mouth. Without turning a cap open with your hands, the water path can be opened solely with the pressing force of your lips or teeth.
GOYOWEAR's soft flask applies a soft silicone rubber material to this mouthpiece cap[1]. Thanks to the elastic silicone, once you take a sip of water and remove your mouth, it closes by itself and seals the gap[2]. Because the opening closes automatically every time you drink, it prevents water drops from falling outside or leaking out[3].
Even when breathing heavily while running or climbing a mountain, you can drink right away by just using your mouth without using your hands. Even if you put it directly into a vest or pocket right after swallowing water without locking it separately, water does not leak, so it does not disrupt your flow of movement.
How to disassemble and clean the bite valve part separately or whether the part alone can be purchased individually when worn out has not yet been confirmed.
