I've tried 5-7 (or more) different drink types. Some are way too sweet, others upset my stomach too much on rides, etc. But Skratch is very subtle sweetness with no overload to upset the stomach. On 3-4 hour rides, I'll start with two 28oz bottles of skratch and supplement nutrition along the way as well. Tons of flavor choices and I usually keep multiples on hand to vary the flavor on my rides.
I ordered the Summer Peach flavored mix thinking that it would have a peach taste. This taste more like a Lipton instant sweet tea mix. If you like instant tea this one would maybe suit you nut for me it's not good.
Skratch is my go-to electrolyte replacement mix. It is naturally flavored and easily digested, so I get the benefit of hydration and electrolyte replacement without stomach upset and without a lot of burping. Solid product for cycling, swimming, and triathlon. The 20- or 60-serving pouches work great for filling water bottles at home; I take the individual packets with me while traveling.
I like this drink mix. mild and tasty and I trust the brand.
I�ve tried other powders and Skratch has been the best tasting. It�s the closest in taste to what the flavors are and has no bitter after taste. My stomach also has no problem with it on centuries. For reference I�ve tried GU and liquid IV. I don�t really have a preferred flavor, trying out each one has been one way of treating myself.
Skratch has never let me down. Great flavors that don't upset my stomach.
I liked this a lot! It didn't give me the problems some sugary drinks do. It also didn't taste too sweet, which was a big plus. You pay a little more for th4e refined taste provided by this recipe, but it's worth it to me.
This drink mix is not overly sweet or salty.... I have used this product for years and its my favorite hydration mix thus far. My body does not do well with artificial sweeteners found in some other brands.... besides on the bike is not the time to restrict calories. I love the Matcha flavor! The others that I have tried are great too. The only �gripe� I have is that i wish it was cheaper, so I stock up whenever its on sale.
I use this for road cycling and my old default was Gatorade for riding longer distances in the summer heat. I was suspicious that this was a gimmick because of the high price, but now I keep coming back to Skratch. It's not too sweet and the flavor is subtle. It also doesn't leave that gritty coating feel on my teeth when you drink other sports drinks. Using 1.5 scoops for a 24oz is perfect for me.
I use it a little lighter than recommended to lessen the sweetness and extend servings. Fill bottle first then add this, shake well. If you add the product first, it can be more difficult to fully mix. Strawberry lemonade is one of my favorite drinks of all time, so this was a no-brainer. Excellent taste, easy cleanup.
I have been using Scratch Lab products for quit a number of years at this time. I keep going back and infact just reordered more of the Lemons and Limes. It doesn't seem to bloat me and it does certainly help with hydration both in high heat situations and for long distance rides. Highly recommended.
This is the first sport hydration product I've ever tried since I started cycling a year ago. The difference is very noticeable on a very hot day. I wasn't expecting it to be so effective but there is an obvious difference. I keep one bottle of this and one bottle of water with me on long hot rides now.
My go to hydration mix for rides when the tempo and outside temperature are increasing. If I'm going out for several hours I'll usually mix one bottle of hydration mix and one bottle of superfuel (only 3 scoops) for energy.
When I want something that tastes good and helps stop me from cramping it's my go to.
Decided to experiment with Skratch since I usually use Hammer Electrolyte products. I've been using it in the winter months so really have not put it to a serious > 100 heat index day. However, have been using it on longer rides without any negative reactions or cramping.
Easy to mix / dissolve very pleasant mild taste. Would buy again without hesitation & plan to test on hotter days
Probably the best energy drink out there. During training and long rides, Scratch has been my go-to drink. I've tried most everything on the market, and Scratch doesn't bloat my stomach, or leave a clingy feeling in my mouth.. Flavors are good too.
I purchased the strawberry lemonade and the flavor is very good. Not too sugary and the ingredients are clean. Unlike Nuun which has natural flavors.
I use this for my long rides on the road. I've never had any GI side effects from this mix.
Good flavor thats not over powering. Helps to supplement nutrients during a longer ride. Living in a humid area Skratch works great for me.
Best hydration drink Ive had. All flavors have been my favorite so far! The best deal is the 60 servings when on sale. As a novice I thought recovery drinks were a marketing scam - 40k miles under my belt since has proven recovery drinks are a required staple.
