Science in Sport Energy Gel Pack, SIS Isotonic Energy Gel, 22g Fast Acting Carbs, Performance & Endurance Gels, Orange Flavor - 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)

Great product! I use it for longer than 2 hour bike workouts. I like that is not too sweet, but sweet enough to make me like it...'mildly sweet's is especially what I like after 3 hours in heat. And it's easy to digest and gives me energy on the bike.

I'm not sure why this is getting some bad reviews. Do people not know what a gel is supposed to taste like or what the typical consistency of a gel is like? It's perfectly fine. Actually the tropical flavor is pretty darn good compared to some others I've tried on the past. If you're an athlete who participates in endurance sports, then you know what to expect from an energy gel. This one is really no different. Skip past the negative reviews. These work exactly like they're supposed to and taste good. The consistency is normal, a tiny bit less bulky than some of the other gels out on the market but, in my opinion, that's a good thing. It also gets to work quickly, which is another positive when your tank is almost on "E." One thing I will say, I found it a little tricky to get the last few drops out of the packaging. These don't seem to be as easy as some of the other energy gels you can simply squeeze from the bottom. I had to stop during my ride and use both hands to get the last bit out. I have small hands so maybe that's part of the issue. Very minor detail and not a deal breaker, imo.

Having used almost every energy gel product out there, I was anxious to try SiS Energy Gel over the course of a few 2 hour + training rides that I was putting in for some upcoming endurance events (I always try new products in training settings before trusting them enough for a race). I found the taste of the lemon & lime to be neither lemon nor lime, sort of a bland citrus like flavor, which wasn't horrible, it just didn't wow me. To be fair, most energy gels don't taste all that great anyway. The consistency is true to how they describe it, more of a liquid rather than a gel, so it actually empties out of the sachet rather than having to squeeze it out, like with other brands. This makes it a little easier to actually get in the mouth rather than all over your hands (and gloves, and shift levers, etc). The main thing I do not like is the low calorie count, about 80 calories per sachet. For a 3 or 4 hour event, I would need to stuff my pockets with these if I were going to rely on them as my main energy source. I am looking forward to trying some of the other flavors, especially the ones that have caffeine.

I bought these gels initially because I discovered about the "Wall" you get in marathon/training running. Around Mile 15 one day, I noticed I was getting tired quickly, and within half a mile I could not even jog, and had to sit down every minute or two of walking. A quick google search explained that I ran out of carbohydrates for energy, and my body initiated the backup (and incredibly inefficient) process of converting fat to energy. So doing some research around Energy Gels, I found out it's quite the complicated process. You need to consider the fact that during marathon's your stomach's blood supply is lessened as your body redirects more blood towards your legs. Therefore not using water (for most) or using too much can led to GI side effects or the embarrassment and awful sensation of vomiting. So after discovering this Gel company, and the fact that they're formulated so you don't need water to chug these down with, I gave the variety pack a go with training. Now I think all energy Gels flavors are not ideal, but honestly these are fine and all I need to have is something that I can not think about it. And I found the tropical one to be the "best". The last thing I need during my marathon is to consume something disgusting 3 times an hour for a few hours. So as long as it's satisfactory, like some of these were, then it's good with me. Anyways, these proved to work! I bought a box of 30 Tropical (as well as their sodium and some caffeine ones) and have used them every weekend for a few weeks now. I did a 20 mile run consuming 3 per hour per the instructions, which led me to complete my distance without any energy issues! No "wall"! These also rip fairly easily at the perforation, I had no issues with opening them during the runs. The only real issues I had with them is their size and price. It was decently larger than I thought at 6in by 2in wide, but I guess that's what 2oz gets you. A pack of 6 variety was $10, and a pack of 30 Tropical flavor was around $30, so in bulk it's a dollar a piece. I'm no expert in this field, and that may be a great deal for all I know, so take those negative opinions with a grain of salt from this newbie marathon runner. Aside from that, gonna stick with these for the long run (I promise that pun was not intentional hahaha). I will be taking them alongside me for the upcoming marathon! That alone should prove their efficacy, and hopefully your decision if you were as lost as I was in this world of energy gels. --- Update: Ran the LA Marathon, carried these for a packet per 20 minutes. I had ZERO energy issues throughout the race. Sure I was tired, but I had no carbohydrate energy issues. These were also gently on my stomach with how sensitive it was that day. Strongly recommended!
