Mmmmm Delicious

What can I say? Skratch Labs makes a delicious electrolyte replacement mix. Worth the coin if you have it. Orange is my favorite flavor.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Flavoring

Little on the expensive side...60 servings is a bit misleading to me. like most others, i use 20 oz bottles, and you have to use 1.5 scoops for that.

Thank you for your feedback.

The best!!!

Skratch is by far the best Hydration mix that I have used. Easy on the belly and replenishes the electrolytes you lose when riding. And a fair price from BikeTiresDirect doesn't hurt. -)

Thank you for your feedback.

CRAMPLESS !!!

A leap in the dark, I bought a large bag of the orange and one of the lemon lime; this on the strength of the reviews. As one of those unfortunate souls that cramp up in the legs and feet after even a 25 or 30 mile ride, I've obviously tried most of the formulas out there that promise to obviate the dreaded stabbing pain. 200 miles over 5 rides and (touch wood) the legs are silent. Oh yes, let this be the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Thank you Lord, for the alchemists at Skratch Labs.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nothing better to replenish you when working hard.

Skratch Labs Hydration sports formula is the first mix I genuinely look forward to putting in my bottles. My body generates a good bit of sweat with fairly high salt loss. Other products did not prevent occasional electrolyte loss-related muscle cramping, especially in hot weather. (Won't mention the competition, their products may work fine for you!) Skratch Labs options do a great job replenishing electrolytes, I haven't cramped since. The number of ingredients is limited to what you need, you aren't filling up your body with artificial ingredients. It tastes refreshing, even when the bottles' contents have long since warmed up a bit. I actually look forward to taking a drink, rather than knowing I ought to.

Thank you for your feedback.

Seems to work

Since I switched from plain water to this stuff I think my endurance has increased and I don't have cramps when I get home.

Note that the proportions given are for a small water bottle. Large ones need 1-1/2 scoops

Thank you for your feedback.

Great hydration drink for cycling, great tasting lemon + lime and is a great hydration product. Scratch Labs has been my go-to electrolyte for the past 3 years

Wish I'd found this earlier

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Better than Hammer HEED for me

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Stay on top of your hydration!

My average hydration requirements while cycling are 24 ounces per hour. More on a hot day (2x in Phoenix!), less on cool days. I've only cramped once, on a hot century ride with headwinds.... and vowed to never "go there" again, in regards to coming up short on hydration. SKRATCH Labs gets kudos for their science and product development. One and a half scoops for a 24 oz bottle keeps me in a "safe" zone for an hour, or slightly more. Good stuff!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great hydration drink for cycling

'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

Always Refreshing

Unlike other sports drink mixes, I never get tired of this product. The fact that it is made with real fruit makes it refreshing and easy on the stomach, whether you are sweating buckets during long summer efforts, doing a grueling climbing or interval day, or racing. It is sweet, but never cloying, just enough to make reaching for your bottle a bit of joy. Even tastes good when it's on the warm side. It has helped keep cramps at bay on really hot and humid days where exertion levels are high. When my bottles are empty and I have to refill with something else at a convenience store, it is always a bit of a disappointment. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it.

Thank you for your feedback.

The next best thing to drinking form the Fountain of Youth.

If you've ever stricken with cramps due to dehydration I can tell you that is a life experience you don't want to repeat. Skratch labs is never sticky or too sweet enabling you to drink without the bloated feeling you get from things like Gatorade. There are just enough calories to keep your energy up. I have tried most of the flavors but Lemon Lime is a safe bet if you are a first time buyer. My wife has become a fan. When she goes for long hikes she will ask me to put some in her bottles. I have been using the product since it was introduced years ago and except in the winter when I add organic pear juice to the bottle for more calories I have never used anything else. I should mention I still take one bottle in the winter just not three as for hot weather rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Product

I've been plague with leg cramps for many years, nothing ever worked. Was talking to a competitive bike racer and asked him if he had any recommendations. He recommended SKRATCH, IT WORKED, knocks down cramps within 5 minutes with no lingering tightness in muscles. I recently tried Orange, more like orange whisper. LIme is good.

My go to. I use it for electrolytes and flavor combined with home concocted carb drink on longer rides, and solely on shorter easier rides.

Great tasting electrolyte drink

I use this drink on shorter rides, 2 hours or less or while I'm on the trainer. It's easily digestible and doesn't have an overly sweet taste.
