What brand of gel?

Powerbar Gel is the only one I can stomach.  All of the others have a nasty consistency that doesnt sit well with me, plus they have less calories and not nearly as much sodium.

Carboom. Local company and is maltodextrin based like hammer gel only more available around here.

Carb Boom is the only 1 can barely stomach, and usually I mix it up with water.
Have taken to eating Snickers Marathon Bars if possible instead of gels.

Hammer Gel diluted with 2 parts water in a little flask. I like the raspberry, orange and vanilla flavors.

I use Gu and Clif - Clif, because not as many of the flavors contain caffeine. I have two Hammer gels floating around from my tri and the clinic for the tri, though I have yet to test them out.

Accel Gel- Strawberry/Kiwi.

The consistency is thinner than Gu or the other gels, so it's easier to swallow. I also like the fact that it has protein in it. As a vegetarian I need all the protein I can get!

Powergel. Consistency is good - nice and thin. Plus they have 200mg of Sodium, compared to most gels that have 50mg. When I need 600mg per hour running, that's 3 less salt pills I have to take.

Love Gu ... and not just because of the sponsorship deal I got either.  I can just stomach them the best.

Vanilla Bean GU,

I like cherry bomb from E-Gel.

They're all the same to me. I don't have any GI problems with any of them. Hammer Gels seem to taste the best, and I like that they have more natural ingredients than some others.

I like the Hammer Rasperry the best.

I've only tried a select few, but the one to which I am faithful is vanilla powergel for the reasons mentioned above. I'm not a very salty sweater so I don't care so much about the sodium, I just really like the consistency. I tried a red tropical hammer gel the other day and almost threw up. I can't stand it when gels are thick. A lot of chocolate flavored gels are thick too but at least they taste okay.

I voted for Gu, but only because there was no selection for my actual favorite:







I've tried gels from RoadRunner sports, and they were OK, and I tried a couple Clif gels, but didn't care for them. Gu seems the most stomachable. (Is that even a word?)

have to agree with you on that one.
i keep them in the freezer so they are typically cool when i eat them on my ride.
i like the little caffeine boost too :P

Cliff Shot Double Expresso, I love caffeine! Gu Chocolate Outrage is my second favorite.

Accel Gel

Am I the Only one who likes "STINGER"? I thought honey was a good thing. MAn, do I have a lot to learn!

Accel Gel the citrus flavor I love just need to find a place to buy them.
E-Gel i like all of them except strawberry kiwi.
ive tried the classic vanilla bean gu and almost threw up on my bike.

I tried all those on the list. Clif shots was okay, but I use POWERGEL with 2X caffeinne. Works for me........

Powergel, especially the Tangerine or Raspberry Cream.

For those that commented about the consistency being too thick: the new Powergel ( I believe it has the number "2" and something about Step 2 ) is much less thick and goes down much easier. The chocolate was especially bad about being too thick. My half mary I had that stuff and I was ready to go "gel-less" by the end of the race.
