Skratch Sport Hydration comes in a variety of flavors. Having tried at least four of them I can tell you that they are all great tasting. I have used this hydration mix in temperatures ranging from 40 degrees to 100 degrees. It continues to do an efficient job at replacing electrolytes. Originally developed for use by professional cyclists. I would highly recommend Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix as a replacement for lost electrolytes.

I find it to be tasty and easy to digest. I do add half a Nuun tablet for extra electrolytes,

Made for cycling in FL summer heat.
Review by Larry L
Use for weekend cycling rides. Love the taste, not too sweet, but value more hydration purpose. I believe Skratch has discontinued the 60 serving bag, switching to 30 serving bag and offering same value.
Only con with this product is to keep bag sealed, use within few months because powder tends to clump if moisture sets in, particularly if don't consume bag within few months.

It's a question of paying for specific performance blend vs. saving on off-brand electrolyte mixes from the store. Nice to have for races and important training sessions, especially in the heat. I also like that it has a non-trivial amount of calories, which helps when I struggle to take down concentrated carb mix in the heat. Skratch periodically runs discounts, so my advice is to wait for one and stock up.

Taste great not overly sweet. No GI distress even with multiple servings on longer days
Review by jaeii0729
This is my go-to hydration and electrolyte drink mix for all my training sessions and running/triathlon races. My favorite flavor is Fruit Punch. I used to suffer from cramps or upset stomach until I found Skratch. I don't have to worry about putting any color dies into my system since its made from real fruit. Skratch never leaves a nasty aftertaste like so many other sports drinks and is great tasting even after 10 hours on an Iron Man course. I'll even buy the one-serve pouches and carry one with me in case I lose a water bottle on the triathlon course. I also use the Skratch Chews and Skratch Bars pre-race.

Skratch is made from natural fruits and has been the only hydration mix I have used that is effective and taste great with zero sugar added.

Love Skratch hydration mix. Been using it for several years now. Really like this larger size if for no other reason than making it easier to scoop. I found the smaller bags harder to use and always transferred the powder into a container. Not necessary with this new size.

There's lots of sport drinks on the market, this just has the electrolytes and natural flavors. The lemon lime is nice as it cuts the sweetness and I don't have issues drinking it on a hot day after several hours in the saddle.
Review by P-Phunk All-Star
Generally a fan of the Skratch family of products. Good quality, generally pleasing taste. This is my favorite of the Skratch Hydration flavors.
I use this mix on its own for shorter rides. For super-long and/or high-intensity days I add 1/2 to 1 full scoop of this mix to bottles of very high-carb lemon-lime or strawberry-lime drink mixes that do not contain any electrolyte support. The addition of a little Skratch hydration mix to those bottles improves their flavor and adds some sodium.
Value is 4 stars for full price. But 5 stars when available for 20% off, as is frequently the case.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy Skratch Hydration mix. Most flavors are awesome for use on the bike! My daughter uses it during her summer softball tournaments. It seems to be the only drink mix/sports drink that doesn't cause her to be nauseous in the heat. She LOVES the Strawberry Lemonade flavor.
Review by Bill58
I had the opportunity to try Skratch Labs a few years ago on a 3 day club outing. We had the individual serving packets and I tried all flavors. All sat well with me and the lemon-lime is my favorite flavor. While more economical, the pouch lets me adjust the strength based on the ride. I also use it during pickleball, it's great cross training for us older riders.
Review by ZiggyVA
For years I have used Gatorade but I wanted something a little more healthy than Gatorade since it has too much sugar and salt. My cycling buddy recommended this stuff so I figured it was worth trying especially since BikeTireDirect had a sale. It isn't going to be the same as Gatorade flavor but on those long rides, this is so much better to drink.
Review by EngineerBiker
I use Skratch on bike rides to get some energy from the sugars and to replace the electrolytes that I'm losing. This is particularly important when climbing and riding in our warm California summers. I have tried both the lemon/lime and orange flavors and like them both, but slightly prefer the orange.
Review by Vafishinpa
My household has been using this hydration mix for years for biking and triathlon... we've tried others but we prefer this. Skratch isn't overly sweet, sticky or too salty. It also lacks the artificial sweeteners found in other mixes that upset my stomach. All the flavors are great. My only gripes about the 60 serving bag is that I really wish they offered the Matcha flavor in it... that and price but I generally stock up whenever Skratch is on sale.
Review by Merlin
I use this primarily in warm or hot weather (today). I've used it for many years before moving from Texas where riding in the heat was what you did if you wanted to ride.
It never upset my stomach and I found myself drinking more because it tasted to good. I'd often take two full large bottles with this mix and carry some more mix to use when I filled my bottles with water during a long ride.
This is the best "on ride" mix I've ever used!

I'm an older cyclist who always hated Gatorade, etc., but also suffers from cramping on longer rides. Tried this on the advice of friends and it does seem to help. I try to buy from BTD when on sale - can get a tube or something to get to $50 and free shipping.
Review by Dennis F
I have been a Cytomax user for years. When it disappeared I tried Accelerade, but then decided to try this Scratch product. I think it mixes the best and has great flavor. I don't really see any performance difference than the other two products but it gets approval for a better flavor and ability to stay dissolved after mixing.
