HONEY STINGER IS A GREAT TASTING, HEALTHY SOURCE OF PURE ORGANIC ENERGY.**
Years ago, like many, I started my energy supplement with gels. During a long, grueling hike, climb or bike, gels made a difference. Over time, I grew tired of sticky hands and pockets caused by gel remnants left in the packet, an increasing need of water to wash the gels down and finally an aversion to the taste and digestion of the sticky stuff.
I switched to bars to get away from the sticky stuff. The bars did the job and were a nice change. The problem I found with them was the trouble I had eating them while exerting at high elevations. The solid, heavy consistency was not appealing. Appetite at 14,000 feet is waning at best and trying to choke down a dense bar for the needed calorie replacement is a challenge.
Now comes Honey Stinger Wafers. After using them for a season of hiking, biking, backpacking and climbing, I found only one issue, I want more. These thin wafers infused with honey, honey vanilla or strawberry taste great, are light and give you the energy boost that you need. I have no issues gobbling them up when standing above 14,000 feet. They are easier to pack due to their thin profile and do not have the stickiness of gels. I buy them in bulk to make sure I have them on hand. Honey Stinger also has a full line of chews, gels, protein and energy bars. The company is located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They are endorsed by Lance Armstrong and consumed by many top endurance athletes.
