"A great product for carbohydrate fueling during activity."timpontarelli
Ease of use
This product and packaging was made for performance. The classic hip flask design sits and stay upright in your tri-suit or jersey pocket. I prefer to tuck mine under my shorts on the back of my hip. The concave back contours my hip, stays upright and doesn't move around. You can keep the dispensing cap open, it wont tip, spill or hide in the corner of your pocket. This makes for a quick one hand delivery of fuel/gel. Grab the upright flask, tip to your mouth, liquid gel comes right out of the super large orifice cap, and then back in the pocket. And easy to swallow without reaching for a water bottle. Never a mess on your hands, face or in your pocket. If you don't use the entire flask, just close the cap and save for another day. Recycle the flask and cap when empty.
Quality of Construction
PETE plastic. Regarded as the safest and greenest(#1) standard in liquid food packaging today. HDPE dispensing closure, #2 for recycling, has a super large orifice, easy to open and close when necessary, Good air tight seal when closed so no mess or spoilage during transport or storage. Maltodextrin with no sugar added is rare, but proven the best for digestion and performance.
Fit
The hip flask. Classic and brilliant. Convex front, concave back, made for your pocket and comfortable anywhere against your body.
Comfort
See above. If you think the flask is a big step up from a little foil package, try it. The ergonomics, functionality and cleanliness will keep you from ever going back to foil or hand grenade shaped containers. Mellow flavor with no sugar added.
Adjustability
Mini marathon 3oz flasks for short course racing.
Durability
The packaging is hard to break or destroy. If you drop it in training or racing, you're still good to go. The formula, like Honey , can go without refrigeration for extended periods and no spoilage.
Value
$6.98 for one 10 serving, 700 calorie flask. My bike shop gives me 10% off when I buy 10. Great Value.
Customer Service
Max Energy is not widely distributed. The most convenient purchasing is through your local bike, tri or running shop or a shopping cart on the Endurance website. Endurance has a toll free consumer number 877-475-7874 for advising triathletes on proper training and fueling methods.
Performance
Outstanding. When my friends and I are hammering out Olympic distances in two hours, half IM at threshold for three or four hours or just wanting to finish in extreme conditions like Badwater or Kona, we have never had any issues.
Strengths
performance, functionality, versatility
