I find the classic HStinger gels taste better and have no digestion issues. I use them on rides of course but also if I need to goose the energy a bit in the afternoon. As with all gels, the tear off top design makes it difficult to contain waste and avoid sticky hands while keeping up your pace.
I really like Honey stinger products, they always taste good, pack well, and never upset my stomach.
great for mid-ride energy.
I take it in my cycling jersey, on the road as well as to spin classes, where it is easily swallowed without much effort.
