Can anyone recommend a gel that comes in packaging that is easy to open on a wet windy day, once open does not disintegrate into a sticky mess and once used can be put back into your pocket (without then turning it into a slime hole)?

    Think that Planet X sell some sort of flask gadget that you strap to your top tube and emtpy the gels into.

    Sure if they do one other places will do, have a search for Gel flasks

    I've used Maxim energy gel's - bought from Holland and Barrett. Good screw top eaasy to open with one hand/teeth. Only thing is they suggest it contains 3 servings which is a bit tricky to estimate.

    SIS Go Gel.

    Good enough for Pro teams to BUY and the top pulls off easily on the bike.

    British company and locally made to boot.

    That looks better than a petri dish for breeding fungus.
