Frequently asked questions
What is Fuel & Kit?
Fuel & Kit is an independent gear guide for endurance and strength athletes. We cover Hyrox, triathlon, Ironman, race nutrition, cycling, powerlifting and hiking, and for each category we recommend the best overall buy and the best budget buy.
How do Best and Budget picks work?
Best overall is the pick we would buy for most athletes in that category. Budget is the cheapest option that still does the job well, not simply the cheapest listing online. Every guide also lists more options you can filter by price and use.
