Overall I like it. It will take a few tries before you learn how much to use. Sometimes a little is all i want. Performance wise, I think it works well. We need more than just water folks. Try it.

Great product for hydration and contains carbohydrates. It has barely any taste which is good because I mix it in my water bottle to plus up my Xtend electrolytes grape flavor. I ride in FL heat 95-100 degrees and feel confident that I will not heat stress due to electrolyte loss.

My husband and I have used other hydration products for years. Earlier this year, we tried Scratch Passion Fruit flavor Sport Hydration Powder. We absolutely love it. So much so, we threw away all of our other hydration products. No fizz to go flat or aftertaste, just great taste. We use 1 12 scoops of powder per 10 - 12 ounces of water poured into a 21 ounce Camelbak Podium Ice bottle loaded with ice. It is the perfect formula for us. Enjoy!

Ive tried and used many products but have always had stomach issues after several months. Decided to give Scratch Labs a try and it has been well worth it. Ive now been using this product for several yrs with no problems. It is light and clean and has caused zero stomach issues. Works great in the lovely Florida heat and humidity. Its not sugar sweet or has an after taste.

I switched recently to Skratch labs and have been very pleased with it during my mountain bike rides. The flavor is subtle but tastes good and helps for me as a sweaty rider. The fruit punch flavor is my favorite so far.

Flavor is personal but this brand is my favorite sports drink mix.

I've been trying different drink mixes over the last 6 months and find the scratch labs one to be the most pleasant one I've tried so far. It's not too sweet and has a very light flavor so I don't find myself getting sick of it halfway through the bottle like I do with other drink mixes.

I started with Skratch Hydration at the beginning of 2020. With the pandemic lockdowns, I wound up riding nearly 1k miles/month in my garage, and really increased my hydration needs especially through the hot summer. I'd wind up going through a 20 serving bag every 2-3 weeks, but the electrolytes definitely work, as my heart rate was much more under control with this than just water alone.
I've used Fluid, SIS and Gatorade over the years. Fluid is awesome, but flavors are limited and get boring. SIS tends to be less sweet, while Gatorade is too sweet, even when watered down. The Skratch pineapple and strawberry flavors are my favorite by far.

not too sweet and definitely helps while you're riding hard. lemon and lime is probably my favorite flavor. peach is a bit artificial tasting. pineapple is nice as well.
Review by MELEVANS
I use this product (lemon/lime) when I cycle, year round. I find it works fine. I like the taste very much, you don't need much, and it disolves very quickly.
Review by Laszlo
It dissolves well,good flavor sets in very quickly and is not sweet.

Hoping for something that tasted better. The ingredients are nothing special and the price is too much for what you get.
Review by LDinSLC
I use this on longer rides to mix with unflavored nutrients, makes them palatable, and is easy on the gut. The pleasant taste keeps me coming back, and it seems to be good on the electrolyte thing.
Review by CycleRef
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.
Review by Stephen
I like this drink mix. mild and tasty and I trust the brand.
Review by SParker42
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.
Review by Vafishinpa
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.
Review by cycle4Jesus
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.
