PowerBar Performance Energy Gels, 24 pk, Tangerine 1.44 oz

Comments about PowerBar Performance Energy Gels, Tangerine, 24 ea:

it's for that once-in-a-while day when I want to do a harder ride than usual. Typically don't like stimulants, but this one tastes good, and kicks in before the leg muscles start to complain too loudly. Basically very adequate means-to-end. Price is competetive with other sellers.

I take this on any run over about 8 miles usually one every 5 miles. Takes about a mile to hit and then boosts nicely for the next 3-4 miles. It will only work if you take it with 8+oz of water and then continue to drink through the workout. It can be hard to rip open the packs if your hands are sweaty and it is very sticky if you get it on anything. The taste may be bad compared to real food but if you compare it to other gels it is probably one of the best.

I'm training for my first half marathon and started bringing gels on my long runs (8+ miles) I've never used them before but have heard good things about their effectiveness. I have to say, this did not taste very good. I'm glad I brought water to wash it down. It did seem to carry me through the rest of my run (I ate it midway.) It didn't upset my tummy either.

I used this on a 4mi hike as a quick boost to keep me going. It was very easy to open and worked well for the purposes of delivering that extra boost to keep me moving.

The flavor is a different matter. While I realize this is a concentrated gel - salty tangerine isn't the easiest to get down. You may need to chase it down with a few good swigs of water.

The consistency is a bit thinner than other gels I've tried making it easier to swallow (if you can get past the taste)

Though I didn't like the taste so much, I would recommend this as it did what an energy replacement gel is supposed to do.

This is a good way to add some energy while out and about or exercizing. The packaging also makes it very portable which is helpful. Compared to some other products in the category this flavor isnt bad, but it is still far from delicious.

I do not know if this really provides an energy boost because after one small taste I could not finish the packet. The tangerine flavor is awful.

I found this product had a very medicinal after taste. The consistency was fine and it went down well with water but it left a bad taste in my mouth and even made my tongue tingle.
