Hydrapak Gel-Bot

If you’re a long distance runner, you’re probably familiar with energy gels. If not, energy gels deliver simple and complex carbohydrates to runners in an efficient, easy to use way. When I run long distances, I use energy gels as quick fuel to ward off fatigue and replenish some nutrients. The Hyropak Gel-Bot combines a water bottle with a gel dispenser, so that runners can get the water, and fuel, that they need from a single bottle.

From the Gel-Bot website:

No more sticky fingers. No more wrestling with foil packs. Gel-Bot delivers your two performance essentials in one easy-access bottle. Load the chamber with energy gel, fill the bottle with water. Gel-Bot’s patent-pending technology lets you fuel or hydrate without slowing down.

The Gel-Bot holds 24fl. oz. of liquid and 3.2 oz. of gel.

Hydropak originally made the Gel-Bot for cyclists, and due to its popularity, now also produce a bottle specifically for runners (pictured here) that comes with a hand strap.

The Gel-Bot could be a great Holiday gift for any endurance athletes that you know.
