Great for saving costs on single-serve gel packets and also dialing in the amount I need for a ride. Hard to get all of the gel and residue with a hand wash but it cleans up well in the dishwasher. The nozzle keeps my hands and jersey cleaner than the single-use packets. The volume markings are OK but a kitchen scale is a bit easier.
Negatives: the nozzle and top of tube is bulky so squeezing and sucking out the last 1/2 serving is tough. Thinning with a tiny bit of water (about 4:1 or even 10:1 gel:water) makes a big difference. Holding and squeezing still almost requires two hands so I would probably skip this for a stopless fast group ride.
The Probar Meal bars are always my number one choice for a hearty, filling food break. Nibble away at one through the ride or get the feeling of a light meal during a rest stop. It's not just sugar and other refunded carbohydrates that give you a temporary boost, but then quickly fade. Instead, you get long-lasting, easy to digest energy that sticks with you through the ride and afterwards. Everyone's taste varies, but I like the chocolate peanut butter, chocolate coconut, and chocolate Oatmeal, for when I want a little bit of sweet-and the Superfood Slam when I want something more mellow. I have found that I like all the flavors except Trail Mix. I have been using Probars now for years- one of the very few cycling products that I can recommend without reservation.
I honestly feel that one of the hidden benefits of this product is that my legs seem fresher the day after . I've also noticed less of the sensation that you get when you are really pushing yourself hard. Less fear and loathing in your legs. I recommend you try this product at least once over the course of several rides. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. I give Sport legs a thumbs up.
I started taking this product about a month ago. I wanted to give enough time before I write a review. I was a little sceptic but I am truly surprised by the results.
I usually have a lot of pain and even some damage after my runs. Since I am taking VTR, I have zero problems. I ran a full marathon, a half and two 10 mile races in just 3 weeks, plus some training runs. I expected a lot of pain, soreness, and a few days of recovery time. I felt nothing at all. It's still hard to believe it because it never happened before. I highly recommend this product!
