SIS Isotonic Energy Gels, 22g Fast Acting Carbohydrates, Performance & Endurance Sport Nutrition for Athletes, Energy Gels for Running, Cycling, Triathlon, Pineapple - 2 oz - 30 Pack

SIS has the best gels in the market in my opinion. Especially if you tend to do longer workouts that require you to consume several gels.Here's why: SIS gels don't need to be consumed with water!! They have a mild taste, don't feel too sweet and are fairly priced. The caffeinated version (75mg) is just what I need to get a second life during long runs or rides. I like the orange or lime flavors which are even more mild. Does it taste fantastic? No! But that's not what gels are for.When you are doing endurance triathlons or century bike rides, SIS is the only way to go, when you have to consume a gel every 30 min. The logistics of having to carry enough water to be able to consume the other brands of gels is not a good strategy.I have basically used many of the other popular brands: GU, Clif, Stinger, and even premium ones Springer, Huma. They are not bad, and they are good options if you just need an occasional gel during shorter workout sessions (1 to 2 hr). Once you start using them more often, you get nauseated with the fact they are too sweet or go broke because they are too expensive.

My wife and I both love these. Strawberry and Pineapple are our favorite flavors. You feel good and do good but then you take one of these and you feel and do better. Faster, farther with more power! And they’re bigger but then you don’t need to follow it up instantly with a giant squirt of water. They’re isotonic and quite liquid-y so all you need is these for fueling and your bottle for hydrating.

Excelente calidad y muy rápido

The apple flavor isn't too sweet or candy-like, thankfully. Like you don't feel your teeth are going to instantly rot out when you "drink" this stuff. Seems to work well for recharging on a ride, but if you take in too many of these without something more substantial you're stomach might ache a little. I would prefer that they design the packaging so it's very unlikely the opening will tear off. I had to be super careful not to create two pieces of packaging on my ride (and thus end up littering or risking falling off my gravel bike).

These gels have a more fluid consistency like a warm syrup. You won't need to chug water to get it down. Some flavors are just okay so id recommend switching it up to avoid getting sick of it. Otherwise a solid gel for average level athletes

A lot of the negative comments about this product have centered upon the taste and consistency of these gels. My questions are... What gels have a phenomenal (not over sugary) taste? Which don't have an awful consistency, (like thick sludge) requiring water to avoid gagging? The answer, pretty much none. SIS gels lack flavor, I'm good with that. I need my gels to be more effective than 'great' tasting, which SIS has 'just enough' taste (orange best so far). And for consistency, they can't be beat. They go down like water. The only down side may be their size/weight because of the isotonic (water) factor. But if your not an elite participant who gets to lay stuff out on tables/stations in advance, you can handle carrying a few extra ounces around. And if you do ultras, triathlon or trail type events carrying these will be a cinch in your hydration packs, vests or cycling shirt pockets. Hands down best product by far for energy and electrolyte maintenance during endurance events.

Great energy gel, for long runs I bring along 1 or 2 of these. They kick in a nice little boost when I start hitting the wall without any added caffeine. Ive had the orange, lemon lime, and apple. Although not delicious I dont think the taste is bad, even when being pretty warm from being taken out of a flipbelt mid run, I dont need water to wash them down and they dont give me any G.I. issues. Overall very happy with purchase.

The first time I took the gel, the thin consistency was very odd and my brain definitely questioned swallowing it. However, I quickly acclimated, and now I can see the amazing advantages. While doing a group ride, even if the group is hammering pretty hard, you can still easily shoot the gel down your throat in 1 or 2 gulps, and thats it... 22g of carbs down in less than 5 seconds, no water required. To me this is important, because I have bonked plenty of times due to delayed eating habits when the group is hammering hard. Also, I had 0 GI discomfort or strange stomach feelings whatsoever. The energy supplied did not "hit" me either, just kept my energy level feeling normal for my 80 mile ride last weekend. I went with the orange flavor, which was pretty good. They are not saturated with flavor either, which I also thought was nice.
