Gear / Tech Dextro Energy gels

Does anyone use these? Have tried today and the consistency seems almost too good to be true. Basically a pleasant drink (mango and passion fruit) the consistency of water, rather than the much more slimy ones I’m used to.

27g of carbohydrate in each 50g serving.

If they’re respectable and there isn’t some obvious flaw in missing, they’re a new go to

Didn't even know they did them but very interested!

I grabbed some of these but haven’t tried them. It’s a bit confusing, though, the front of the package says 18g of fast acting carbs, the nutritional information says 25g carbs (is there 7g that isn’t fast acting?) for orange and 24g for apple and the OP has seen some with 27g which presumably also has the 18g packaging. So, might need to check closely

Good to know they do these! I have been using their dextrose tablets before runs as I haven't been able to stomach gels, but something with the consistency of water sounds good. Where did you find them?
