Source Storm Push-Pull Valve

Unlike bite valves that require pressure to release water, the Storm valve uses a manual push-pull action to open and close the flow. This provides a higher, more consistent water flow and eliminates the need to bite down, which some users find more comfortable during intense activity.

The Storm Push-Pull Valve is designed specifically for SOURCE hydration systems using Quick Mate Technology (QMT). While it integrates seamlessly with SOURCE products, it may not be compatible with the hose connectors of other hydration brands without specific adapters.

The 90-degree bend allows the drinking tube to sit closer to your body, effectively shortening the length of the tube needed to reach your mouth. This reduces excess slack and prevents the tube from snagging on gear or getting in your way while moving.

Yes, the integrated twist-lock mechanism provides a mechanical seal that is more reliable than standard valves in freezing conditions. By locking the valve shut, you prevent residual water from sitting in the tip and freezing, which helps keep the flow path clear.

The valve is designed for easy disassembly, allowing you to take it apart for a thorough cleaning. It also includes a Dirt Shield, which acts as a protective cover to keep the mouthpiece clean from dust and debris when not in use.
