A couple of weeks into the trip, the bite valve had nearly fallen off, and it's hard to replace because most stores only carry Camelbak bite valves. Worse, the part where the hose attaches to the main pouch had a developed a leak that was difficult if not impossible to fix. I ended up tossing the water pouch/hose and buying a Camelpak version to put into my Novara Pack. Unfortunately, this made the valve/magnet feature that I liked unusable, but otherwise the Camelbak pouch/hose in the Novara Pack works fine. The Bliss Pack itself is pretty good though - it had plenty of room for what I needed, and the bungee cord let me store extra things like a wind-jacket on the outside. <a href="http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/novara-bliss-women-hydration-pack-70-oz-reviews#bz-model-review-668257">Read more</a> </p>
