Electrolyte tablets

Post by krispykritter »

Has anyone tried camelbak's drink tablets? What do they taste like? What else is there to add to my hydration bladder?

I always add the powdered Propel packets. Wal-mart has a generic brand with electrolytes and colorless, 10 packets for $2-$3.

Yes. They aren't as strong tasting as a lot of sports drinks, plus they are carbonated, which is a nice little surprise. I bought some at the Grand Canyon, and have enjoyed them on Boucher and Rainbow Bridge trips. I'll be using them again.

Cool thanks, I'll give them a try. What flavor did you try?

It is some lemon-lime flavor. I'd have to go dig it out for the actual flavor name, but it tastes lemon-limey.
