Review by jaeii0729Reviewed 3/1/2024by jaeii0729Competitive RacerSt Augustine, FLAn all natural solution to hydration for the most demanding training sessions or races!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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/25/2023by AnonymousSeems to do the job.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 P-Phunk All-StarReviewed 6/10/2023by P-Phunk All-StarCompetitive RacerPennsylvania0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Pleasantly flavorful; effective electrolyte replacementGenerally 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.

Review by Dennis FReviewed 11/30/2023by Dennis FCycling EnthusiastMassachusettsvery good sports drink.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.

Review by LouisReviewed 8/30/2018by LouisCycling EnthusiastStamford, CT2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Love this larger sizeLove 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 11/24/2023by AnonymousCompetitive RacerLondonThe Every-Day Drink MixUse this drink mix almost every day; maybe not on an easy 1hr spin, but it does get me through tough workouts and longer rides on the weekends. Definitely recommend lemon/lime and orange.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/5/2023by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastBoston, MA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best Hydration Mix YetSkratch hydration mix is worth it....pure and simple. I've tried several other hydration drinks and powders and Skratch is BY FAR my favorite. It has a clean, subtle flavor and does not overpower you when you are sweating on a bike ride! It also blends into my digestive system and quenches my thirst on hot, sweaty days. I try to hide the package from my kids but, they eventually find it because the love it too!

Review by VafishinpaReviewed 8/23/2021by VafishinpaCompetitive RacerSE PA0 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great hydration mix and better value than 20serving bagsMy 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 AnonymousReviewed 2/27/2023by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastChicago, IL0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Skratch is the bestI love that I can vary how much I can use in a bottle. Normally the recommendation is for 1.5 scoops, but I can do 4 scoops and get 80g of CHO per bottle without stomach issues. The flavor is excellent--nothing fake or chemical-ly tasting here. Skratch is my go-to!

Review by MerlinReviewed 5/31/2021by MerlinCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Tasty and meaningful.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!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/31/2023by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastRefreshingTastes pretty good, doesn't have the petroleum-based food dye that Gatorade has. I wish it dissolved a little better, and the packet isn't the easiest to scoop from.
