Meister StickElite Professional Porous Athletic Tape - 15yd x 1.5"

I use this tape for this tape for wrapping my thumbs for barbell lifting in the gym. My left thumb has poor mobility from a pre-existing injury, so I need to tape it to reduce skin friction/slipping even when using a mixed grip on the bar. I don't think that's the most common use for this tape, it reminds me more of the kind of tape that I've seen used for wrapping the toe/blade on hockey sticks etc. The tape is relatively thick cotton type tape that has a strong adhesive but the fabric feels more like cloth/clothing than a plaster or bandage, it is closely woven and is not stretchable. It is quite different from the softer stretchier tape often used for thumb wrapping, but I find those less good since the stretch means they can pull away more easily from your skin under load. This on the other hand stays put. It also cuts to size very easily. If I had one criticism for the tape, in this usage at least, it would be that the surface is relatively smooth and non-grippy. It doesn't provide as good a grip as some other tapes for this reason.

Questo è un nastro perfetto per le giunture delle dita. Lo uso in palestra durante allenamenti di Brazilian jiujitsu e quelli di crossfit. Puoi strapparlo facilmente anche per farne strisce più sottili. Aiuta molto la presa e alleggerisce lo sforzo sui legamenti. Il migliore mai provato. Consigliatissimo!

I have been getting blisters on my toe since starting up martial arts training again. Used these to tape up my big toes to stop the blisters caused by the rubbing against their wooden floor. Ot sticks well and last the entire two hour class. I will buying again for sure.

Excelente

I can’t recommend enough! I was very skeptical when I first opened the packaging; the tape was very soft and almost silky feeling. I thought it wouldn’t work and almost returned immediately. But I decided to try it on my old 20lb kettlebell (no texture at all on the handle real old school cast iron) I hate the grip on this kettlebell once my hands sweat there’s no gripping it. This tape immediately transformed it and I use that kettlebell almost every workout now. Once the tape is stretched the fibers create a ton of traction that really provides an excellent grip without a ton of skin tear or glue coming off on your hands. I’ve had the tape about 2 weeks now and have put on 5 kettlebells ranging from 10 to 60 lbs as well as my pull-up bar that had cheap rubber hand grips on the end that kept spinning. This tape solved all of that and has helped add 30% more reps per set on pull-ups due to enhanced grip and therefore less arm fatigue from over gripping. Even with wet hands going from a swimming workout straight to kettlebell complexes the tape has held up.
