who it's for

one jam, two worlds

endurance fuel

better than a gel

More carbs per ounce than most energy gels. 4 servings per pouch, 100g carbs + 400mg electrolytes total. 100% real fruit, zero chemicals or preservatives. No bonking.

TRAIL FOOD

yes, it's real jam

Stir into oatmeal. Spread on a PB&J. Layer on your backpacking charcuterie. Or squeeze straight from the pouch mid-climb. One pouch, endless uses.

Planning a weekend trip? Toss 3–4 pouches in your pack. Eat one like an energy gel on the hard miles. Spread the rest on your PB&J, oatmeal, or charcuterie at camp. Carry less and fuel more.

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 better than a gel.

"This jam likes to PARTY. I’ve used it on everything from early morning V02 sessions to 120 miles rides through the mountains. I’ve used it to completely replace gels, and also throw together toast and Jam before I head out in the morning. The multi serving format is easier to carry and creates less waste, not to mention that Jam actually tastes incredible."

Lucas L. — Maap ride leader and founder of No Signal Cycling Club

"Took six pouches on a four day trip in the Sierras. Tried them in all sorts of ways: raw dogged from the pouch, into my morning oatmeal, and spread on tortillas at camp. Favorite new backpacking food hands down!"

★★★★★

Andrew B. — avid backpacker and climber

"These are like REALLY GOOD. Brought them along for my last trail ultra and they were the only thing I actually wanted to eat past mile 18. Loved how they still fit easily in my vest pocket and it actually tastes like real food. The ginger peach one saved me on the back half."

"What started out as a desire to have transportable jam on backpacking trips turned into a brand... 100 g [of carbs] pouches of sugary goodness available in two flavors: strawberry and peach/ginger... 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

"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

"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."
