First Endurance Liquid Shot
Misleading marketing

First Endurance touts their new gel as being superior to others because it doesn't contain 'gelling' agents. The problem with this statement is, NO other gels on the market contain gelling agents, with the exception of only one.

I'd love to try the Kayenne goggles, if i could find someone who actually sells them - i've been watching for a couple weeks now, and no joy.
