I use this drink on shorter rides, 2 hours or less or while I'm on the trainer. It's easily digestible and doesn't have an overly sweet taste.

Cycling primarily, but the family uses it for soccer games and hiking as well. While I was used to fizzy supplements, Skratch is an effective addition to the lineup.

I've tried others but Skratch hydration mix is the best. Not too sweet but just enough flavor. It's also pretty good about not growing stuff in your bottle if you happen to not rinse it right away.

I use to get these horrific leg cramps, so bad I'd have to tell myself to breathe and would be sweating like a mad dog, the pain was so intense. Tried everything. I met a competitive bike racer and asked how he remedied leg cramps, he recommended SKRATCH and I haven't looked back. You can take to prevent cramps and in the event if you get cramp while not biking, it'll knock it down within 5 minutes, and with no sore muscle after.

Quite subtle flavoring. Not good or bad per se, just something to be noted.

This is one of the best hydration products out there! Not too sweet or salty and extremely tasty!
Review by Bay Area Rider
I usually get major hamstring cramps AFTER the ride (even when staying hydrated during the ride). Following instructions (12-16 oz of water) by SKRATCH found it took about 20 min to kick in - too long. So I tried full dose with 1/3 cup of tempered water, 5 short minutes for it to kick in - LESS PAIN - Great Product

Tastes good, much better than alternatives I've tried.

My water bottle always contains Skratch - no more dehydration issues on long or hot rides. I also like that the flavors are very mellow, not overwhelming me with sweetness when really thirsty.

I used this an alternative to Hammer Perpetuem just to try something different . The scratch labs power mixes much easier (less powder dust when I add the water), and tastes better. I use either product to help prevent cramping on long rides, and both seem to do that job well.

I love the orange flavor. Not too strong and not too sweet. I notice I drink much more with this mix than with plain water. Plus I never have a problem with cramps. This has been my favorite drink mix since it was introduced many years ago.

I have used this product in various flavors for over five years. It is especially helpful on rides that involve higher temperatures. It has never left me feeling bloated and that is why I continue to use it. The lemon lime is my favorite flavor.

This is the only thing I add to my bottle for hot weather training. Light, no after taste, not sticky if you spill it and if you drink enough it is apparently effective in keeping those ,oh my God did someone stab me in the legs cramps, away.

Great electrolyte drink for almost all rides. Doesn't have that sweet taste many sport drinks have.

I bought this after running out of water a couple after 40+ miles in the summer heat, despite hauling two 24 oz bottles. I'm not a big fan of artificial flavors so I use half the recommended dose in one bottle and it did the trick.
Review by SF Bay Area Rider
SKRATCH is a GREAT Product, been using it for years to prevent (god awful hamstring) cramps. Had been using their Lemon/Lime, which was great, flavor was there. More recently tried their Orange or shall I say "orange whisper", I see tiny specks of orange color and have yet to come across any orange flavoring - but it does keep the cramps away, which is the most important aspect. I ride about 6500 miles a year.

I use 1.5-2 scoops per water bottle on longer andor harder rides. Shorter (less than 2 hours) and easier rides, I just use tap water (we are on a well) and a pinch of sea salt. The Lemon Line taste good and has never caused any intestinal issues. So far, I have never bonked when using this product.
Review by BPbiker
Use on 30 mile rides andor warm rides.... Taste is light & easy to drink. Would like to see more flavors in the 60 serving pouch... only able to order lemon .
