Energy Gel Multipacks - anywhere that sells them without harvesting your organs?

[Homers Double]

Amazon high 5 are the best value I’ve found. Plus I find it’s better to stay with one brand that agrees with your gut rather than swap for a few pennies.

Anyone tried the High 5 or similar refill system?

Don't use enough to make it viable

Not suggesting anybody here contributes to the negative aspects but there are far too many cyclists using and discarding empty gel packs along some roads. Near me one road always seems to have them scattered along the verge and some will always find any daft reason to condemn cyclists, the littering of emty gel packs does give some good reason to be critical.

Quite a few around here too
Boils my piss - if you can find room for it when it's full, you can stow when it's empty. The litterbugs have no excuse.

Watched a documentary on " The Spine " Ultra, a race along the Pennine Way. I think gels are now banned as they were having to rescue the runners who were overly depending on them instead of fuelling properly.

My go-to are the SIS multi-packs from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XK7R5L8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Agreed. I use them on longer (for me) rides, but the empties always go back in my jersey pocket and get taken home. It is no effort at all to do that, I really don't understand why anybody wouldn't.

THat is more expensive than the same packs in Halfruads - £6.49 for one pack = £25.96 for 4.

I assume that they don't like the potential stickiness of the 'empty' wrapper.

I last bought a batch when marathon training last year. Holland and Barrett were cheapest I could find at that time. They had an offer on that comes up again quite frequently.

I always carry a gel or two but unless on a particularly tough ride rarely eat them, I carry as an emergency back up.
Anyway, as and when I need more I just scope out likes of Amazon for best prices. Almost always there'll be some on offer somewhere.
I prefer SIS but recently bought some High 5 which are fine. I paid £4.69 for 8 which was pretty decent value.

The cheapo shop near us, either Quality Save or Home Bargains, always seem to have boxes of SIS gels in stock at reasonable prices.
