I just had my first SiS Gel. Double Expresso.
If I had to choose between this gel and diarrhea, it wouldn’t be an easy decision.
I’ll stick to Clif Shots and Beta Fuel.
hah. i find sis gels with caffeine to be pretty nasty, but the ones w/o caffeine are my favs. try a salted watermelon. mmm.

I thought SIS prices were over the top, until I checked Maurten. No idea how folks can afford that.

there is almost always some sort of sale on SIS. often times there are multiple sales/promotions and they stack.
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone has put muliple maurten gels in a water bottle and maybe water them down a little? I think the consistency would be too thick and scared to waste a load of gels trying. I switched from SiS to maurten, I fueled an ironman solely on SiS now I can’t even look at them! 
What is your specific concern beyond *has anyone tried"?
Get a single gel, add a small measured amount of water, see how it is. Add more water if you think it needs it. Find out for your self.
Not sure how relevant but decent read
A policies if its a repost
Haha you know what. I did think that after posting. . I’ll give it a go tomorrow

I like both but I have to give the edge to Maurten. The sis gels are very good but the biggest issue I have with them is that sometimes they are difficult to open where as the Maurten do not seem to have that problem. The only issue with Maurten in my opinion is the price now when looking at the price compared to sis I would say SIS may be the better buy but in terms of product quality I think Maurten i the better product
