    Nozzle never fully closes -- gel is always exposed to environment. Pull up nozzle for liquid, push down for gel. Nozzle cannot shut off opening for gel.

      Comments about Hydrapak Gel-Bot Water + Gel System:

      Sweet bike style bottle which effortlessly delivers energy gel, or liquid from two separate compartments! At home on cycling rides, trail running, spring backcountry skiing, and even equestrian sports, ie: ride and tie competition or fox hunting!

      I can fill mine with water and gel for sports, or beer and mustard for picnics and baseball games! It is brilliant. Get one before everyone else discovers them.

        Comments about Hydrapak Gel-Bot Water + Gel System:

        Simply fantastic! I just set a new personal 1/2 marathon record today using the Gel Bot. Having your own fluids whenever you want them with the convenience of having gels/gu's with just a squeeze (instead of tearing the packets) - the Gel Bot is worth it's weight in gold! The reflective hand strap feels great and a nice safety feature. You need to get yourself one today.

          I used this on my long training runs and during a marathon. I like to be in control of my own hydration and gel intervals and the Gel-Bot Run version does the trick.

            Comments about Hydrapak Gel-Bot Water + Gel System:

            One note to Holden. I've got a Gel-Bot and at first didn't think it worked well with thicker Gels but I figured out that you have to suck as well as squeeze. It's easy but not obvious since the thinner gels come out by just squeezing.

              It's about time someone invented a good combo bottle! This bottle is simple and effective delivering liquids and gels when needed. I'm a fan. Just don't try to sneak it full past TSA at the airport.

                This Gelbot was a great idea, has made cycling alot easier and cleaner. Cleaning the gel capsule is simple, no more messy jerseys and bee stings when I take a break.

                  Comments about Hydrapak Gel-Bot Water + Gel System:

                  The Gel-bot is an innovative product that is sure to be a big hit with triathletes, cyclists, and other athletes. I like he fact that I can have one convienient location for all my hydration and caloric needs. It is great to not worry about gel packages-I no longer have to rip them open, think about the litter, or the mess they can cause when putting the wrapper back into my suit. I can also easily follow up with a drink. The Gel-bot helps me to take my focus off of getting in my nutrition and lets me focus more on my training and racing. [...]

                  I do think that it is very good idea.
                  As a user of Hammer Nutrition products
                  I find it very useful water bottle on a long rides and at endurance races.
                  It's helps to control your nutrition and water intake.
