Our take
Maurten Gel 100 CAF takes the Gel 100 formula and adds caffeine. The gel weighs 40 g for 25 g of carbohydrate, and slips easily into a pocket.
Many runners keep it for the last third of a race, when fatigue sets in. Test it in training before race day, as with the plain Maurten Gel 100. Avoid it late in the day if caffeine disturbs your sleep.
What we like
- + Caffeine boost
- + 25 g of carbohydrate per gel
- + Well tolerated according to users
What to know
- - Caffeine needs careful dosing
- - High cost per unit
