Hammer NutritionHammer Gel (26 Servings)(Return to Product Page)

I love the idea of having a jug and a flash better than anything, it saves so much time and its cheaper to buy these jugs other than buying the gel packs.

I like the flavor and this stuff really packs a carbo punch. I'm still struggling with the flask delivery system but otherwise this stuff is pretty good!

This is the stuff, cost less per serving than other gels, and requires less water to be isotonic.

This is a very good product and it does what it suppose to do.

Mountain Huckleberry is fantastic - I'd put it on pancakes! Really good in your water bottle

packaging needs to be improved

Its fuel for the body to recover and use on rides.

Use on most rides 3-4hrs or longer, up to 600km brevets. Also on short & fast group training rides. easy to get down with out the mess of several empty, sticky single use packages getting all over my jersey pockets.

cons, hmmm, need more flavors?!!!

Tasty, if you like chocolate. Couple of teaspoons b4 a workout. Too thick to use in a gel flask.

Use this for training- more economical than individual packets.

I had been using single servivg gels but for riding in the winter it was a real pain to try and pull one out of my jacket with winter gloves on. It's a lot easier to grab a flask without issue. Added bonus is that it does not create any litter. The product itself is palatable and agrees with my stomach. I actually like the taste - Espresso - and the caffene helps to keep me sharp. I mix in a bit of water to thin it out a little so it dosen't get to thick in the cold.

I find it easy to digest and provides lots of good energy. A few slurps of the gel prior to a long climb makes such a difference. Because it's complex carbs, there are no energy spikes. Really important for those long, full day rides, I don't get burned out on the flavor. It's not super sweet which gets old after a while.

Also, it's really easy to pour from the jug into smaller containers that fit in the jersey pocket.

All positive, really like the Hammer gel.

The wild eye man visited me last night in my sleep. I was as charged up as a battery and revin' to go when the roosters started crowin' in the morning. Hammer products rule!

I ride with the wild eyed man with the expresso bottle,

Power on the peddles with the help of hammer gel,

sometimes wired up after the ride and banging on walls

He wakes me up in the middle of the night to drive home from double centuries

Easily and quickly digested muscle fuel. I have never experienced a knot in my gut when dosing on this stuff every 10 mile/30 minute interval. I load up 2 of the 5 dose squeeze bottles before a ride and I have insurance against cramps and the bonk that take up, but only take up a small space in my jersey pocket. I like the convenience of no sticky trash to port and the cost savings of the big bottles. The Espresso is my fave.

I love buying the gel in this larger container and then using the flask on the bike rides. Much less messy, no stickiness, and environmentally friendly not to have to discard the individual gel packets. No hassle in trying to open the individual package, while I'm riding. I simply pull out the flask, take what I need and slip it back in the pocket.

GU Roctane is good, maybe even very good. Hammer Gel is better. The 25 serving bottles combined with their squeezable flasks is the dialed-in setup. I have a 4 year history with this well sorted, bonk-proof secret sauce. My search for endurance ride nutrition has been met triumphantly!

Hammer gel has real flavors. It gives me steady energy rather than the sugar spike followed by a crash that I get from some gels. My favorite is raspberry - real fruit and not too sweet. If you want caffeine, the espresso flavor has a lot, along with serious coffee flavor.

A few months ago, Hammer thinned out their gels, making them easier to use. They increased the size of the bottles to keep the same weight of the contents. Since Hammer changed the consistency, the gels flow much better from the little bottles-even in the cold. I really enjoy using the Hammer gel bottles now. Less waste and lower cost than individual gels. Also, I find the gel bottle easier to use than single gel packs- and I don't get the gel all over my fingers.

The flavor is good and it does its job!!!

Quick and easy to use. Stores well. Acts almost immediately. Affordable.
