Product Reviews of Clif Shot Energy Gel, Chocolate, 1.1-Ounce Packets (Pack of 24)
Product Review: Clif Shots on the Pacific Crest Trail
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently hiked 75.5 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail in about three days. My pack was lighter this year because I brought about 18 Clif Shots significantly fewer energy bars. Clif Shots weight of 1.1 ounces was convenient. The Clif Shots seemed to work on getting my leg muscles hydrated quickly. I bought a case of the Chocolate clif shots and it was basically thick chocolate syrup without the cane sugar, so there was no crash even though I ate about six a day. Overall I highly recommend this products to any backpackers or day hikers. I sustained myself for 10 to 12 hours of hiking a day by eating clif shots and drinking clif electrolyte powder. The "litter leash" is a gimic. My friends had other brands of gu and shots and they just didn't open the top of theirs all the way and they did not litter. Great product. I will be buying another case next summer.Product Review: Effect is great, but taste quality varies widely
Summary: 4 Stars
I can only speak to two flavors: chocolate and the double espresso. Being as I love all things mocha/coffee, I was really hoping the double espresso (the little silver packs) would work, both for taste and extra caffeine, but it was GROSS. The taste was worse than midnight coffee at a 24hrs truck stop! I choked it down, glad for the experience so that I don't ever buy that flavor again.
The chocolate, on the other hand, is really not that bad. No, it's not going to taste like slurping down and ounce of delicious Hershey's fudge (since Clif Shots have that consistency) but it's not that bad either. Just wash it down with some water, which you should be doing anyway to stay plenty hydrated.
Finally, buy the Clif Shots on Amazon... your local bike store will never come close the prices offered here. Be sure the check with the various Amazon sellers for best prices.
Product Review: Great Gu
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is exactly what it says it is, a clif shot for those on go. These packets are great for long training sessions (running, biking, tri) or when you just need a little bit of easily digestable food when you're working out. I found that while you don't have to follow with a drink of water, it is preferable to do so. Also, packets fit perfectly in the small waistband pockets of my running shorts so it's easy to have them on me without having to hold them.
One minor drawback is that they can sometimes be difficult to open requiring the old bite and rip method.
Product Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is coming from a guy who typically doesn't eat very well. This product actually gives me a good constant amount of stable energy for hours after I eat one. I must say that I am not doing any strenuous activity though.Product Review: Great product at great price
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using Clif Shots for the past 3 months and found them to be one of the best energy gels at a great price. Amazon has a great sale on boxes of Clif Shots that could not be beat when you consider free shipping.
The only draw back on this product is they can be difficult, if not impossible, to open while you are running if your hands get wet from sweat. The handleto prevent littering is almost useless when you figure you have to tear these things with all your might to get them open. However, the energy gel itself taste great and it easy to swallow while running.
