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

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.

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.

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.

I love this product and use it religiously for cycling. The lemon/lime flavor is pretty decent and it's easy to swallow during my rides. My only complaint this order was the case was completely opened as a botched "reseal" attempt didn't workout. However, I did not issue a return/replace since none of the individual packets were opened...still annoying though. Regardless, I highly recommend this product and the opened case has nothing to do with the actual quality. I feel this product is much more affordable while being better quality than many of its competitors.

Good texture, flavor not the best kinda flat but not issues with my stomach which is good. Good value for the money. Will try another flavor.

Have had no issues with these. They can run expensive at times, but just look out for deals. No upset stomach, not thick, and good flavor. I can't have caffeine and these still give me the boost of "energy" I need. I've tried other brands as well as ones with no maltodextrin, or only natural ingredients and they just don't do it for me. Will reccommend this brand to anyone. Better than Spring, Huma, Gu, Cliff, Hammer, Maurten, and Honey Stinger.

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).

Easy gel to digest. Not overly sweet. You don't have to chase with water. I recommend putting the product in a flask and it's not easy to open the packaging while cycling.
