I’ve bought Hammer Gels for training (trail running and mountain biking) and been provided with them during two mountain races that Hammer sponsored. Hammer Gels seems to taste better than most other brands (although most flavors of Gu Energy Gel are also quite good). A serving of Hammer Gel is typically larger than other brands (1.25oz vs. 1.1oz for Gu, for example), although this does not mean Hammer Gels necessarily provide more calories (just 86 calories in a packet of Hammer raspberry, vs. 100 calories in smaller sizes from other brands). But Hammer does claim to be made with natural ingredients.
Hammer raspberry flavored gel is hands down the best flavor–it tastes like the inside of a jelly doughnut. When you are pounding up a trail or down a road, there’s nothing like the thought of a jelly doughnut to keep you going…delicious!

I’ve only tried the vanilla and chocolate, but they both taste pretty good when you’ve been running for hours (kinda like cake frosting). More than the flavor, I’ve found that my runs are better with them. The carbs in this are “long chains” so they burn more slowly – preventing the sugar rush and crash that I’ve found with Gu, honey, and sports-drinks. In fact, I attribute my first jog over 6 miles without light-headedness and nausea to the fact that it was also my first time trying this product (I went 12 miles – and was totally fine – a record for me at the time) I used these in my first half marathon and beat my target time by over fifteen minutes! I’m not saying this is a miracle product, but I think it’s the best of its kind out there. If you’re serious about your endurance sport, you need to at least try this stuff. I’m psyched to discover Amazon sells it – it’s not as easy to find in stores as other energy gels.

I have tried so many different products – from beans, to blocks, to gels and this is the best flavor and consistency that I have found. The texture is more like liquid fudge rather than gooey gel.

I tried Hammer gel after I had several failing attempts with other gels, bars, jelly beans, and candies. My husband and I used it on our half marathon, and it was so easy on the stomach and the longevity was extremely beneficial. It tasted great and didn’t make either of us feel as though we swallowed cement. I will certainly use this product from now on and encourage others to as well.

I have tried other brands of Energy Gels. Hammer Gel products flavors and texture are consistently uniform and quality is reliable. They don’t use simple sugars in their products so the carbo energy source is better for you and absorbed more efficiently in your system. The flavors and gel thickness aren’t intense enough to give you a gag reflex after several hours of exercise while using the products.
