Gel packet hack?

Sometimes I struggle to rip open gel packets during a marathon (sweaty hands, fingers, etc)

I tried pre-cutting the tops but my pockets become a goopy mess.

Any suggestions?

You are cutting too much, just a tiny cut is all that is needed, not all the way through, works fine.

Pre-slice, then put them in a Zip-Lock - zipping it is up to you; you’re just adding a barrier layer, so ya don’t gunk yer pocket

Buy a gel flask, and make your own. No mess and way easier!
