trail-tested
ditch the jar,
not the jam
We wanted to bring our favorite jam to the rugged, far-off places where a PB&J tastes best. But an ordinary glass jar wouldn't survive the trip.
So we made jam packable and added electrolytes to make a jam so good it could replace your energy gels and still deliver on your PB&Js.

"The electrolytes made me skeptical, but honestly? It tasted incredible. As good as any small-batch, local country store jam I've had...The idea is that you can take it on a hike or a run or a camping trip instead of a typical electrolyte gel, or simply put it on toast, like I'm about to do"
Chelsea Collier — Editor for Food Network
"It has all the carbs and sodium a gel would, but it's actually delicious. Bonus points for a great brand name."
Dario DiGiulio — Tech Editor for PinkBike
"What started out as a desire to have transportable jam on backpacking trips turned into a brand... I would rather lick a battery than eat most of the current gels on the market. This, on the other hand, is some artisanal good shit."
Mike Ferrentino — Editor at NSMB
"Jesse Jams takes a different approach to ride fuel with electrolyte-infused jam packaged in a resealable pouch designed for multiple servings... aimed at riders looking for steady energy without the typical gel format."
Ron Koch — Editor at Mountain Bike Action

how we started
“there’s no way I’m putting that glass jar of jam in my backpack!”
Born on an ill-prepared backpacking trip through Catalina Island, that line sparked the idea for the first ‘outdoor jam’ — packed with electrolytes, built to fuel long miles.
