The first step in using refillable energy gels is to open the top of your pouch. These pouches are designed to be kept in the fridge or at home, ensuring that your gel is always fresh and ready to use when you need it.

Step 2: Fill Your Flask

Next, fill your Soft flask with the gel from the gel refill pouch. Each flask holds two energy gels, providing you with a convenient and efficient way to carry your fuel during workouts or races.

Step 3: Keep Your Gel Pouch at Home in the Fridge

After filling your flask, remember to store the remaining gel refill pouch in the fridge at home. This helps to preserve the freshness of the gel and ensures that it is ready for your next refill.

Step 4: Slip it in Your Back Pocket

Once your soft flask is filled with gel, slip it into your back pocket or pack. The compact size of the flask makes it easy to carry during workouts or races, allowing you to access your fuel whenever you need it.

Step 5: Bite & Squeeze to Refuel

When it's time to refuel during your workout or race, simply bite the top of the flask and squeeze to release the gel. With a screw-top design for easy opening, our refillable energy gelsare designed to make refueling quick and convenient.
