“Absolutely love these. I never understood why I'd feel sick part way through a long run, as I thought it was doing everything right. Turns out, this is what I needed. This will be a forever staple to my endurance training, and as a non-caffeine user, I can totally feel the benefit during a long day at work or school!”
“Hi Aaron,
Just wanted to let you know I am on my second variety pack purchased from you and your team( orange is my favourite) I generally start my day with an energy pack and have appreciated the results. I am a construction consultant and days can be long. Since I started using your products I feel better overall, I found it calms the stomach, gives me more energy and not feeling so tired in the mid afternoons. Great product keep it up,
thanks Tim”
“Great product. The honey itself is delicious, didn’t hurt my stomach during multiple 50K trail races and was smoke than ample fuel. My only suggestion is to make the package a little longer and more narrow so it doesn’t cut the corner of my mouth when I’m ripping the tasty honey out. And I’m Canadian, so hell yeah, support local.”
“My daughter in BC got me onto this product. Absolutely tasty flavours and indeed improves my energy. Easy grab & go. Received order fast, made in Canada (SK) …. Will continue using this product”
“I was on on Saturday on my Long run in the rain. I could not open the pack with my cold fingers. I used my teeth to tear it open. It only tore off very little. I had a very small hole to squirt out the semi-solid gel. I forgot to soak the gel in warm water before my run.
Will not purchase due to hard to open. The flavours are great, but not cold days when your hands are cold. Will switch back to my dependable GU gel.”
Hi Kelly,
I'm quite surprised to hear this. I'm sorry you had so much trouble, but I'm not sure what happened. We've gone through 4 different versions of our packaging. Improving at each version based on athlete feedback, and the latest version is easily opened by kids as young as three years old. I'm honestly not sure what happened here, and I really wish I knew because we're always trying to improve based on feedback just like this.
Watching young kids open our current packaging I'm not sure what else we could do though. If we make it super thin and even more easy to tear, we risk it bursting in your bag. Given that 3 year olds are opening it (albeit with dry fingers), I'm not sure what else to do, but we are always looking to improve! Thanks for the feedback. :)
“Great tasting gels and easy to digest. The one down side that I have with them is the struggle I have to squeeze it out of the pack while on the move.
If you are taking them before a race or in a setting that you have a bit of time it is fine. But trying to trail run and squeeze it out takes a lot of time and effort to get it fully emptied.”
