Decided to experiment with Skratch since I usually use Hammer Electrolyte products. I've been using it in the winter months so really have not put it to a serious > 100 heat index day. However, have been using it on longer rides without any negative reactions or cramping.
Easy to mix / dissolve very pleasant mild taste. Would buy again without hesitation & plan to test on hotter days
Probably the best energy drink out there. During training and long rides, Scratch has been my go-to drink. I've tried most everything on the market, and Scratch doesn't bloat my stomach, or leave a clingy feeling in my mouth.. Flavors are good too.
Good flavor thats not over powering. Helps to supplement nutrients during a longer ride. Living in a humid area Skratch works great for me.
Best hydration drink Ive had. All flavors have been my favorite so far! The best deal is the 60 servings when on sale. As a novice I thought recovery drinks were a marketing scam - 40k miles under my belt since has proven recovery drinks are a required staple.
All of there flavors are tasty goes down easy works well
One of my favorite flavors, and I've tried other companies whose lemon lime tasted like medicine.
Ordered one bag with samples and enjoyed it. Ordered three more and was surprised to see no samples even though they were in description.
This is my go to for hydration on my rides. It never fails me and never upsets my stomach.
I purchased the strawberry lemonade and the flavor is very good. Not too sugary and the ingredients are clean. Unlike Nuun which has natural flavors.
I use this for my long rides on the road. I've never had any GI side effects from this mix.
Although it isn't inexpensive, skratch is my favorite sports drink while riding. I have tried others and experienced stomach upset. Not the case with skratch.
One of only three products which wont cause me to have an upset tummy.
I've been a Skratch labs user for years. Good tasting and reasonable cost. Staying hydrated is the first step to avoid bonking.
Skratch lab drink mix is my go to hydration on the bike. I like the fact that it is not loaded with sugar, it does have a very mild taste. I sometimes mix 2 flavors for a different taste. It keeps me hydrated during long rides.
Taste and energy mild, it does help without the jitters
Love Skratch Labs products. They taste great, keep me hydrated, and give me energy for long rides. I use them all season long for my cycling, and all winter for cross-country skiing. My favorite flavors are Lemons and Limes, and Passion Fruit. The Chocolate Recovery Drink Mix is also excellent. Good stuff.
best value for your buck
Skratch mixes well in water (no Undissolves particulate left over) and doesnt leave any stickiness in your mouth.
Decent flavor (lemon line), and gives you the right electrolyte loading without a ton of sugar. I ride all summer in Phoenix (start at 6am when it can still be above 90 degrees) and Skratch keeps me going without cramping.
On long hot rides Scratchlabs the ticket! When it's cool I'll go straight up water but when its hot and or i'm going long it's nice to get some calories through hydration.
