Pros: -Fairly cheap purchased in bulk
-Edible, but not tasty - Cookies and cream is the best flavor

Cons: -Very strange, chewy consistency

Recommendation: The consistency is hard for me to get over. Reminds me of laffy taffy. Taste isn't good enough to outweigh the weird consistency either.

Pros: Energizing and easy to pack. taste amazing!

Cons: so good that your done with it too quick. and the price isn't as low as some alternative snacks.

Recommendation: I strongly recomend this out on the trail its by far my favorite snack for out on the trail.

Pros: protein, calories

Cons: taste like a meal replacement bar...

Recommendation: These work in a bind for getting necessary nutrition, but they still taste kind of nasty compared to what they advertise.

Pros: decent source of nutrition and energy if eaten well before a ride.

Cons: dont taste very good and dry out your pallet.

Recommendation: Its the original energy bar and it hasnt changed over the past decade. other companies produced superior products

Pros: Easy source of energy.

Cons: Don't taste too good.

Recommendation: While I do like Power Bars, this isn't my favorite flavor. Does give you some need ed energy for long rides though.

Pros: They disappeared quickly

Cons: must have lots of water

Recommendation: like I said they disappeared quickly.

Pros: Some have decent taste.

Cons: Too hard and when cold you could loose a tooth...Very pasty at times

Recommendation: drink lots of water with these they work well however can be heavy.

Recommendation: Great for summer trips, took them skiing once and they froze solid.

Recommendation: Were great as one of the powerbar pioneers, but there are many better tasting ones out there now!

Recommendation: Been taking these for all my outdoor activities for well over ten years now. Only complaint is that they get too hard when its cold, so keep them close to the skin and warm on winter trips.
