Powerbar HydroMax energy gel review
Nicely formulated caffeinated gel with a neat ‘no-spill’ design
Powerbar Hydromax energy gel review
Powerbar HydroMaxPowerBar’s HydroMax + caffeine gel is another ‘watery gel’; each 67ml sachet provides 38g of water and 25.5g of carbohydrate (at 6.2p per gram) as a 2:1 blend.

There’s also a hefty 100mg of caffeine, along with 300mg of sodium – significantly higher than most gels.
Although bulky, you’d only need one or two of these per session, so portability isn’t an issue. The sachets open easily and the ‘no-spill’ design is very welcome. The consistency is light and refreshing, while the cola flavour is decent enough.
Unfortunately the high sodium level is quite noticeable and made for a strange salty aftertaste. It’s not a major issue though, and this is still a recommended alternative to other fruit-based offerings.
Verdict: Well-formulated, good value caffeinated gel that tastes a bit different, 82%
