Maurten Gel Mix 480 sits between a drink mix and a gel, suited to endurance efforts that outlast what a single sachet can cover. Mixed into the compatible flask (sold separately), the powder reaches the stomach as a pH-sensitive hydrogel that encapsulates its 120 grams of carbohydrates, carrying them through to absorption instead of sitting heavy. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Sipping from the flask instead of tearing open gel after gel keeps my hands free on technical terrain and cuts down on wrappers stuffed in my vest."
