GU Energy Gel - 24 Pack

Taste is iffy, but its worth gritting your teeth for. THis stuff is great

These little packs tend to bang around in one of my backpacks or camelbacks and the packaging doesn't get holes like others. The tri-berry is the best tasting of all the brands and GU stuff doesn't seem to take as much water to wash down.

I have very little caffeine in my diet, so when I suck one these down - it does the job! The residue can be a bit sticky - that's the only problem I've had with these. Have used them in adventure trail runs and MTB races.

I've tried most of the energy gel brands, and GU is by far my favorite. It has a good consistency, and isn't overly sweet like some other brands. It is much easier to eat a GU every hour while on a trail run, hike, or climb then it is to try to stomach a bar. My favorite flavors are Vanilla Bean, Just Plain, and Lemon Sublime. Some of the others are palatable too. The chocolate flavor is a bit much unless you really like chocolate.

These are the best "no bonk" gels around. I think they tast better than the Cliff Shots too - not so thick.

Espresso Love tastes great and goes down easy, it is the only flavor I've tried. Tough packaging so they don't break in you pack. I leave about a dozen in my backpack all the time in case I get stuck somewhere and carry 6 per day for use. They are great for mountain biking, skiing and motorcycle riding in the desert, 1 per hour during activite riding/skiing.

I've been using these on biking, skiing and dirtbiking and they Espresso Love is great. I ussually have one an hour.

The little packet fits perfectly in the key pocket of my running shorts and it goes down real easy with a gulp of water. Not as salty as other gels. Gu is getting me through my marathon training.

I had these while marathoning and they gave the extra punch i needed. goes down easy with some water. They work best and taste best during hardcore workouts.

I had Gus years ago and didn't like the taste of them. I gave them another shot about 6 months ago and have been hooked - the triberry is excellent, and the lemon sublime tastes like lemon filling from a pastry from Dunkin Donuts. Mmmmmmmm - I look forward to eating Gus during a race now!

I down one of these with a 16 OZ glass of water before I head up to summit anything. this gives you an incredible amount of energy with out the muscle cramping and overtired feeling you get at high altitude. These do not taste bad at all, my favorite being the berry. If you need that extra gas to get up the hill, GU is for you!
