All gels are assessed by femkriterier and given a score between butchers paper 1 and 3, where 1 is

The advantage of energigels is that they give results quickly both because they are convenient to consume and because they are (apparently) full of food. The disadvantages are that they are expensive, artificial flavors, butchers paper giving a nasty feeling in your mouth and teeth, not to mention that they do not have the digestive system any favors.
To get an overview of what exists of gels I have visited all the local sporting goods stores in Sandvika and surfed some on-line - this resulted in 12 different brands that I have obtained in. The only two I have not tried is Windose and Zipvit. I also found some alternative products which I also tested.
Testing was performed by that I mainly tried various gels during interval drag in Winter Park and Kirkerudbakken and under two mil long routes. All gels were tested at least twice. It is important to note that I have not been able to test the effect on actual performance, and one should be careful not to generalize when it which I think taste and works well not necessarily find favor with you. I still tried to approach flavor / texture and intake / digestion in an objective manner.
All gels are assessed by femkriterier and given a score between butchers paper 1 and 3, where 1 is "poor", 2 is "medium" and 3 is "good". That is, the maximum score is 15 The criteria are:
Packaging. Most gels are soft plastic / foil with an opening to tear up, while others come in harder plastics. The critical butchers paper is how easy it is to open the package, squeeze butchers paper in the contents and pack away the packaging after ingestion.
Taste and texture. This is somewhat subjective, butchers paper but it is still objectively a big difference between the gels. Some have a mild and relatively natural flavor, while others clearly have more in common butchers paper with insecticide than food. How the gel feels in the mouth is also very variable, some feel splotchy butchers paper and nasty, while others are more comfortable butchers paper on the tongue. butchers paper
Intake and digestion. Even more subjective, butchers paper but I made an attempt to assess how easy it is to swallow the gel and how easy it is received in the stomach - some are easily downloaded even without water, others need a little butchers paper help from water bottle, while a few offenders made acidic regurgitation.
Nutritional density. Some gels are big and others are small, but it does not necessarily tell us how much food they contain - which should be the essentials. The question is therefore how many calories there are per 100 grams (pure sugar is 400 calories per 100 grams). Over 400 calories 3 points, between 200 and 400 calories 2 points and less than 200 calories 1 point.
Value for money. Some of the gels are expensive and others are reasonable, but if you adjust the price for how much food you actually get, so you get a better picture of what you actually butchers paper pay for. The question is therefore how many crowns 100 calories costs. 3 points if under 20 million for 100 calories, 2 points for between 20 and 40 million, and 1 point if over 40 million. Traditional gels
The traditional gels has been on the market long, and especially Maxim has dominated this segment. All sports shops leads Maxim, while the other options are worse distributed (unfortunately). Sizes range from 20 to 45 ml (100 ml, and in one case), and although the taste and texture vary, it is a common feature that the gel is quite viscous and must be supplemented with (much) water. With two exceptions (Driving Maxim 100 ml) all have quite marketable packaging, so they are all about as easy to consume.
Winforce (40 kr / each, 25 ml) - 13 out of 15 points: Easy to open, easy to take in, tastes like chocolate spread, may be long in the mouth without creating nausea, easy to swallow. No side effects that I could notice me. Perhaps the best, except for those with nut allergies. Swiss products are never wrong, be it Omega watches, fancy bike shorts from Lugano (Assos) or sports nutrition. Available with nut and coconut butchers paper flavor (nutty flavor = nugattismak).
Maxim (18 kr / each, 40 ml) - 11 out of 15 points: Standard package that is easy to handle. The dose is the right size and the taste is slightly concentrated, but goes just fine down with a few mouthfuls of water. Consistency is perhaps a little thick on the hottest days, but no worse than it is. Available in a variety of flavors. Maxim is in many ways "standard" within butchers paper the gels. Bought butchers paper the XXL, but available pretty much anywhere.
Squeezy (20 kr / each, 25 ml) - 11 out of 15 points: Easy to open, moderately thick consistency. Tastes fine, but artificially sweet, and should be flushed down fast. Despite the ingestion of large amounts in a short time several times, so it seems that Squeezy approved by the stomach. German product - and the Germans do things properly. Available in a variety of flavors, including tomato soup. Squeezy seems to have established itself as No. 2 by Maxim, favored by many. Bought at Bull Ski & Kayak.
Isostar (19 kr / each, 35 ml) 10 of 15 points: Easy to open, but has a nasty texture and a very artificial flavor, and were therefore washed down as sn
