No matter how lightweight or cutting-edge a water bottle is, it's worthless without effective liquid distribution. For two years now, Ultimate Direction's Kicker Valve has offered a different and revolutionary option in personal hydration. The first valve on the market to offer a very versatile water flow, the Kicker Valve lets users sip small, gulp big or drink somewhere in between – all with a simple bite and a squeeze. The Kicker Valve opens easily with a quick pull and closes with an effortless, hands-free 40-degree kick to the side. Extra bonuses – it's leak proof, soft on the mouth and maintenance free.

Sure, our Kicker Valve requires a short learning curve. But based on feedback from everyday runners and racers, we know that once you get the hang of it, you'll be thrilled with the difference.

Key Differences

  • Fast and versatile with the flow
  • Ultra-soft, flexible valve
  • Quick, hands-free retraction


It's as easy as...

  • Pull the valve up with your fingers or teeth.
  • Bite the valve and aim the flow to the side or bottom of your mouth.
  • Squeeze the bottle. For a sip, a slight draw will suffice. For a big gulp, apply more pressure.
  • Kick the valve to the side and it will automatically slip into its retracted, leak-proof position.


Kicker Valve Highlights

  • Biggest flow on the market
  • X-cut opening provides increased flow with a draw rate of 1,000 mL
  • Soft-touch valve for easier drinking
  • FDA/NSF approved, medical-grade silicone mouthpiece
  • One-piece valve construction eliminates moving parts that can cause leaking
  • Only Ultra Sonic Welded Valve on the market with a higher retention than friction-fit valves (radiofrequency weld process seals the valve tight to prevent choking hazards)
  • Maintenance free (other valves may require O-ring lubrication to protect them from drying out)
