Description

Tailwind Endurance Fuel is an all-in-one drink mix - calories, electrolytes and hydration in one bottle, so you are not juggling gels, tablets and water. Deliberately mild-tasting, because everything tastes strong at hour six.

What it is and when to use it

One drink that covers calories, electrolytes and fluid, so you can stop carrying gels, tablets and water as three separate problems. Tip the powder into a bottle, shake, go.

The failure mode on a long day is almost never running out of energy - it is losing the will to choke down another gel at hour six. Sipping a mild drink is something people keep doing when eating has stopped being appealing, and that is why Tailwind works where a pocket full of gels does not. Ultras, big walking days, long rides, back-to-back days on a thru-hike.

Taste and texture

Deliberately mild - light, not syrupy, and not aggressively sweet, which is the trait that matters when you are drinking the same thing for eight hours. It dissolves clear, leaves no residue in the bottle and rinses clean, so you are not scrubbing a sticky bidon at midnight.

Eight flavours: Mandarin Orange, Berry, Lemon and neutral Naked without caffeine; Raspberry Buzz, Green Tea Buzz, Tropical Buzz and Colorado Cola with it. Naked is the one to buy if you already know sweet drinks turn your stomach late in a race.

Caffeine, sodium and what varies

Four caffeinated flavours and four without, which lets you run plain early and switch to a caffeinated bottle for the last third rather than caffeinating from the gun. The formula is non-GMO, vegan, and free of gluten, soy and dairy - so it suits most diets without a separate product.

How to take it

Mix a serving into a bottle and sip steadily rather than to a schedule. Because the calories and the fluid arrive together, the drink IS the plan - no chasing it with extra water the way a gel demands. Single-serve sticks are 200 calories each; 30 and 50 serving bags let you mix to your own concentration.

Who should not

The caffeinated flavours are not for children or anyone advised to limit caffeine. Check the pack label if you are managing sodium or caffeine precisely.

Sizing Guide

Additional Information

Usage
Each serving is 100 calories. For endurance workouts, mix 2 scoops per 500ml of water per hour. Adjust to your personal calorie needs during training, using hunger as a guide. When it’s dialed in, you’ll feel satisfied and energetic, not hungry or full. On hot days, keep the same calories per hour, but increase water. To use in combo with other foods, reduce Tailwind intake by the calories you’re consuming elsewhere to avoid overloading the gut. For shorter workouts (<2hr), you can use less Tailwind to taste.
