I�ve been riding for maybe 40+ years and just drinking water. Got very tired in hot weather; many times leg cramps afterwards. This season I�ve been using Skratch Labs hydration. I feel like I don�t wilt as quickly, no cramps, and I think it�s prompting me to drink more. I�m sold.
I had the opportunity to try Skratch Labs a few years ago on a 3 day club outing. We had the individual serving packets and I tried all flavors. All sat well with me and the lemon-lime is my favorite flavor. While more economical, the pouch lets me adjust the strength based on the ride. I also use it during pickleball, it's great cross training for us older riders.
I use Skratch on bike rides to get some energy from the sugars and to replace the electrolytes that I'm losing. This is particularly important when climbing and riding in our warm California summers. I have tried both the lemon/lime and orange flavors and like them both, but slightly prefer the orange.
Used Hammer products for years but now greatly prefer the less-sweet Skratch labs products. Decent pricing compared to like products, and my stomach is in much better shape for very long rides (6-12 hours) when using Skratch compared to any other hydration I�ve tried.
This is my go-to hydration and electrolyte drink mix for all my training sessions and running/triathlon races. My favorite flavor is Fruit Punch. I used to suffer from cramps or upset stomach until I found Skratch. I don't have to worry about putting any color dies into my system since its made from real fruit. Skratch never leaves a nasty aftertaste like so many other sports drinks and is great tasting even after 10 hours on an Iron Man course. I'll even buy the one-serve pouches and carry one with me in case I lose a water bottle on the triathlon course. I also use the Skratch Chews and Skratch Bars pre-race.
Love this stuff. Not too sweet. Not too salty. Mixes easy. Tastes great.
for me its the best drink mix,taste is mild,easy on stomic,mixs well, and works!
compared with sport drink, I'd prefer this
Generally a fan of the Skratch family of products. Good quality, generally pleasing taste. This is my favorite of the Skratch Hydration flavors.
I use this mix on its own for shorter rides. For super-long and/or high-intensity days I add 1/2 to 1 full scoop of this mix to bottles of very high-carb lemon-lime or strawberry-lime drink mixes that do not contain any electrolyte support. The addition of a little Skratch hydration mix to those bottles improves their flavor and adds some sodium.
Value is 4 stars for full price. But 5 stars when available for 20% off, as is frequently the case.
Great flavor best electrolyte drink mix on the market.
I purchased this on sale. It was my first time trying this product.
I like the taste- not too sweet, goes down easy and does not upset my stomach.
This is one of the best hydration products out there! Not too sweet or salty and extremely tasty!
Love Skratch hydration mix. Been using it for several years now. Really like this larger size if for no other reason than making it easier to scoop. I found the smaller bags harder to use and always transferred the powder into a container. Not necessary with this new size.
I have been a Cytomax user for years. When it disappeared I tried Accelerade, but then decided to try this Scratch product. I think it mixes the best and has great flavor. I don't really see any performance difference than the other two products but it gets approval for a better flavor and ability to stay dissolved after mixing.
've been using this mix for about 4 years during my bike rides. Not sweet, no stomach issues, works great in preventing leg cramps during 30-60 mile bike rides in 80-90 degree weather, tastes good
The Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix (60 Servings) lemon-lime flavor is easy to use and has a well balanced taste profile is not too sweet nor salty
This was the first flavor I tried from Skratch Labs. I have been pleased with it during my rides and the subtle flavor.
Not cheap, but worth buying if on sale here
Tried the smaller serving pack, and loved the strawberry lemonade flavor so much I had to get the large size
One of the only drinks that does not make me feel sick on intense rides
