Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/8/2024by AnonymousBest supplement during the ride I have tried yetI 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/25/2023by AnonymousBest electrolyte mix so farI'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.

Review by Ride Like the WindReviewed 9/28/2018by Ride Like the WindCycling EnthusiastLos Angeles, CA4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Best Tasting Hydration Product We Have UsedMy 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!

Review by N. VelezReviewed 8/10/2018by N. VelezCycling EnthusiastFlorida2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.The perfect drinkIve 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 11/6/2023by AnonymousNothing special. Hoping for something that tasted better. The ingredients are nothing special and the price is too much for what you get.

Review by BenbikesReviewed 11/27/2020by BenbikesCycling EnthusiastOrange County, CA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Effective and delicious!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.

Review by CycleRefReviewed 6/3/2022by CycleRefCycling EnthusiastOregonBest endurance drink with no stomach issuesI'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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 4/11/2022by AnonymousCasual CyclistAlabama1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Not the best flavorI 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 LDinSLCReviewed 8/31/2018by LDinSLCCycling EnthusiastSalt Lake CityDecent tasting sports drinkI 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 SParker42Reviewed 9/12/2021by SParker42Cycling EnthusiastUtah1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Not too sweetI 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 Reviewed 8/23/2021by Vafishinpa Competitive RacerSE PA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great hydration mix thats not too sweetThis 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/29/2021by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastGreat for summer heatI 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 cycle4JesusReviewed 6/18/2021by cycle4JesusCompetitive RacerTNExcellent product to prevent cramps and keep energy levels optimizedI 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/23/2021by AnonymousAtlantaI'm surprised how effective this isThis is the first sport hydration product I've ever tried since I started cycling a year ago. The difference is very noticeable on a very hot day. I wasn't expecting it to be so effective but there is an obvious difference. I keep one bottle of this and one bottle of water with me on long hot rides now.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 1/8/2021by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastFloridaTaste Good & Works Decided to experiment with Skratch since I usually use Hammer Electrolyte products. I've been using it in the winter months so really have not put it to a serious > 100 heat index day. However, have been using it on longer rides without any negative reactions or cramping.
Easy to mix / dissolve very pleasant mild taste. Would buy again without hesitation & plan to test on hotter days
