Skratch LabsExercise Hydration Mix (20 Servings)(Return to Product Page)

Skratch has just enough flavor to let you know you have some mix in your bottle, and just enough sweetness to help break the pain of a hard ride. But it is a clean taste that doesn't linger and result in a sticky feeling in your mouth, like if you had a soft drink.

Skratch mix also provides you with a good, high quality mix of electrolytes leaving the fillers to cheap competitors.

I have used Matcha Lemons over the course of two years or so and it has proven very effective in keeping me hydrated. With the added carbohydrate and natural caffeine, it also is refreshing boost on the long rides. I like that I can make a concentration to suit my needs. On long rides I often make one bottle with a stronger concentration. I start out drinking the normal (or dilute) bottle and when I get to a place to refill water then I pour off from the stronger mixture into the now empty bottle, refill both and then I have two bottles with an appropriate concentration. At least that works for me.

Skratch has never upset my stomach or left me with that syrupsweet aftertaste that I dislike about other sports drinks. It is really high quality stuff.

I ride long distances, as in double centuries. That means that I consume a lot of water and burn a lot of food. It also means that I get very tired of the flavor of plain water, as well as the flavors of most common hydration and food products.

I like Skratch hydration mix because it tastes great and doesn't feel heavy in my stomach. Unlike most of the products I have used, I can go to Skratch day after day and not get tired of it. And I do. This and Hammer products are my absolute go to mixes for short rides (under 8 hours.)

The same is true for 12 to 18 hour rides as well. I tend to do those rides with no solid food, just what I can drink. With Skratch and Hammer, that works for me. It means carrying small packets of powder for either brand, or relying on ride directors to have those products handy at aid stations. The flavor and function are absolutely worth the minor hassle.

The only thing that I don't like is the packaging. I can't speak for other folks, but for me the resealable package just is not functional. So I move my powder to an airtight container and scoop from there.

I like and don't like the single serving packets.The convenience on long rides is outstanding. Tossing wrappers is not so wonderful. I use them on rides but no other times. For that, they are pretty much perfect.

I have been using this product for years. It tastes great not chalky like some of the other hydration drinks out there and has never upset my stomach. I love it.

Its a steal when it is discounted. I have drank the lemon-lime flavor for a long time (probably some Gatorade thing), but the other flavors are great for a change of pace. Tastes better than Gatorade and if you believe the Skratch propaganda, is better for you.

Balanced taste while providing hydration during riding. Also used as post ride recovery drink.

In my never ending quest for the perfect formula to control muscle cramping in the Florida sun, keeping energy levels up after the natural stores are depleted and avoiding the sticky sweet mainstream sports drinks, this product seems so do it for me.

Cost a bit more than others but the taste is great, the only lemon/lime I will drink. Raspberry is good too. Very light taset and great lytes mix.

This hydration mix has been in my bottles for the past 2 years or more. The flavors are GREAT and combining flavors raises the bar higher! Using this mix has eliminated cramping on rides and not one experience of stomach issues. Avoid the sugars and go natural, you'll love Skratch!

Not too sweet, tastes good and seems to do the job very well. I use at about 2/3 strength. No problem digesting

This is a healthier alternative to some of the other hydration drinks. The pineapple tastes the best to me.

Have this on the bike all summer. Love the neutral taste and never gives me gut rot.

I've been using Skratch Lab's products for years. Their hydration mix is simple with just the necessary electrolytes you need, a small bit of natural sugars for flavor and nothing else. No food coloring or any un-natural products are ever added. You can even see the tiny particles of the dried and ground up real fruit. But don't worry it all dissolves easily in your bottles and doesn't leave too much of a sugary mess on your bike like some other products can. It's very lightly flavored and just the right amount which makes you want to drink more because it tastes so good. I'll even find myself drinking it at home when you get that water tastes nasty to me right now feeling.

I use Skratch for long runs, it tastes great without being too overpowering.

Taste good and no tummy upset.

Strawberry is now my favorite. Works well to control my leg cramps.

I've tried a number of hydration products, but Skratch is the best. I like the lemon matcha mix, which has a little caffeine and a light, refreshing flavor. Doesn't taste gross when it gets warm! I'd say the only downside is that it's powder form, so you can't just pack a tab or two for long rides, but you can measure it out and carry it in something else. No upset stomach or anything. My wife loves it, too, and drinks it when she works out.

After trying about everything over the past (many) years, I found this several years ago and love it. Simply put, I take one drink of this and immediately take another as it tastes very good without a sugary sweet taste. Orange is my flavor of choice with the lemon-lime second.

If looking for a hydration mix, you really should try this!

I love this product! It keeps me hydrated and helps keep me fresh. The flavor is awesome ( I make mine slightly stronger than recommended). I think a buck a serving is steep but there are few alternatives and their pricing is no better. I ride a couple hundred miles a week and couldn't do it without Skratch.

Not overly powerful drink mix, add a little to your water and you are good to go! Keep hydrated without too much stuff in your water! Tastes good, keep riding!
