Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good substittue for Clif Shot Mocha Comment: I like the taste and really like the consistency of this gel versus the Clif Shot Mocha. It seems a little easier to get from the container and into my mouth while riding. The Clif Shot is gooier and sometimes leaves me with a mess on my hands and face and packet. That ends up in my jersey pocket too since I carry the empties with me until we find a trash can.
It's close enough to the Clif product to buy either one based on price. Customer Rating: Summary: Like a jelly doughnut (raspberry) Comment: I've bought Hammer Gels for training (trail running and mountain biking) and been provided with them during two mountain races that Hammer sponsored. Hammer Gels seems to taste better than most other brands (although most flavors of Gu Energy Gel are also quite good). A serving of Hammer Gel is typically larger than other brands (1.25oz vs. 1.1oz for Gu, for example), although this does not mean Hammer Gels necessarily provide more calories (just 86 calories in a packet of Hammer raspberry, vs. 100 calories in smaller sizes from other brands). But Hammer does claim to be made with natural ingredients.
Hammer raspberry flavored gel is hands down the best flavor--it tastes like the inside of a jelly doughnut. When you are pounding up a trail or down a road, there's nothing like the thought of a jelly doughnut to keep you going...delicious!

Customer Rating: Summary: Good but the packaging could be better Comment: I used these for the first time today. I have the Raspberry ones and they taste great. No stomach upset, quick results and a very good boost during a long run.
However, the packaging is a bit problematic. First, the tops don't rip off easily - not fun while running. Secondly, the bottom of the package burst easily while dispensing into your mouth from the top. Out of the 3 packs I've tried, 2 of them burst. And that's with the top wide open, so it was oozing from both ends. Customer Rating: Summary: Energy Gel Comment: Husband loves this product and will use for all workouts. Received in a very timely manner!
