Looking for anyone ( @Jonathan , @chad , @Nate_Pearson ) who has used both gels and their thoughts on one vs other. I used Maurten drink mix when it was first released and liked it. I’ve been using SIS gels recently and am starting to run low (and bored). Has anyone tired the Maurten gels? What do you …

It is good to hear first account trial and error on this stuff. But, what I use isn’t going to change because Jonathon or Nate won a crit or mtb race. Though, I have used the SIS stuff and it is nice. But, I really love the honey stinger gels.

I do this as well however I do half gel and then I cut it with water. Much easier to drink and take in while riding.

For people in the UK, SportPursuit currently have SIS gels available - 30 gels for £12.49 instead of £42 They do ship to other countries also, but the cost of delivery might be prohibitive.

I was looking at these yesterday- What would you recommend? GO + Isotonic Gels GO Energy + Electrolyte Gels They both have Carbs - So why would you choose the isotonic over the electrolight? Box of each? Thanks

FYI - SIS gels are 2 for 1 until tomorrow. In the UK at least.

As stated above - I don’t recommend the Lemon Lime isotonic! :nauseated_face:

I like SIS too as it doesn’t upset my stomach… But their Lemon Lime is pure vile. I’d rather drink a bottle of Buckleys (Canadians know what I mean). I’m also experimenting with Maple syrup recipe I found on a runner’s site.

Completely agree about the taste of some SIS gels. The Tropical flavor is downright disgusting. I just ordered the Tutti-Frutti flavor using the USAC discount, so I hope it is better as I prefer the texture of SIS gels. I actually really like the sweetness of GU gels, just wish they were thinner.

I think I’d go Maurten if I had to pick one, but I like the SIS gels too. I’m not sure how I’d do if I was say riding all day and primarily using Maurten but as much as they cost I can’t see me eating several of them a day anytime soon.

I’ve only had the ones without additional electrolytes so can’t really comment, sorry.
