A real boost on long backpacking trips

Provides A Boost

Cons

Best Uses

As A Snack

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I take a lot of long backpacking trips. I drink a lot of water on the trail and I need something for electrolyte replacement. I have tried all of the gooey gel stuff and it doesn't really work for me.

Shot Blocks really work. I pop a few of these in the afternoon when I am beat and I can feel the after burners kicking in.

I like the new packaging. It is very clean and easy to get the number of blocks that you want.

Ultra running

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I am sick of gels by now and really skeptical to try any of the funky running foods that keep showing on the market. Bought these as they were on sale at REI. I found them very useful on a long race yesterday.
They are easy to eat, taste good and the chewy part make them feel more "food" than gels.
Easy to open and eat with one hand, on the go and easy to store after opening without the chance of making a mess.
Also, makes it easier to eat less calories more often compared to gels (once open, you have to swallow it all).
Downside is they have relatively low Na and K content so I carried electrolyte tablets.

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

These are a great electrolyte replacement while going UL backcountry. When I start getting tired from going fast, I eat 3 of these and drink out of the backpack reservoir while I keep on going. Good source of quick calories, sodium, and potassium.
Also like to use them while skiing all day in the backcountry.
I think the strawberry tastes great and goes down easy, no unpleasant aftertaste for me.

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I used to think electrolytes were one of those things that only super-athletes worried about, like VO2-Max or TRIMP scores. Then I started getting headaches and nausea during my long runs as the runs got longer and the temperature began to rise. Although a salt packet might be cheaper, these blocks taste a heck of a lot better, and they do a pretty good job of keeping away the headaches and nausea that come with low electrolyte levels. The packaging makes it pretty easy to eat too--don't have to worry about sticky goo getting all over the place. I haven't tried many flavors, but the cranberry is pretty good. Just remember to chase them with plenty of H20.

I've used the Lemon Lime and Strawberry on a couple of hikes, and when I was having some stomach problems. They taste good, go down easy and work pretty darn good!

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I do a lot of fly fishing and backpacking. This is a great product when you're on the go and need a boost to keep you going. This is great even on day trips hiking alongside a river or wading. Just make sure to drink lots of water along with your choice of blocks to break them down.

Best Uses

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I've been looking for replacements to the usual sugary energy gels. I prefer something salty when I'm out using up a lot of energy, so the Margarita flavor fit my needs. I hear that you either hate it or love it, and you really need to like salt to like the Margarita. It was a strange combination at first, lime/lemony with a salty taste, but I ended up really liking it and it helped me get through my long run. The texture is like eating a box of Dots.

During Hiking

Comments about Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak:

I have tried several energy gels on the market and just couldn't get past the taste and consistency, which often made me feel like I was eating cough syrup. I love these bloks, which taste good and are so easy to clean up afterwards, no gooey mess left behind like gels. My favorite flavor so far is lemon-lime, but I am going to try others as well.
