Jaybird & Mais4600-2075 Jaybird and Mais 4600 Lightweight Athletic Stretch Tape: 2" x 7-1/2 yd., White

If you currently tape your thumbs for olympic weightlifting or CrossFit workouts using regular athletic tape, this stuff will blow your mind. At 2" it pretty much covers the entire thumb, but it is flexible which allows your thumb to move and bend a little bit. This makes it pretty easy to get a good hook grip on the bar. Plus, the fingers that wrap around the thumb now have a little more traction too (this is really nice if you get sweaty like me and start to lose your grip during longer workouts). This was one of the best upgrades I have ever made. I actually made a bunch of guys in my gym try it one morning, and they placed a group order for their own rolls later that week.

Although it is tearable, it is very challenging to tear and I had to use my teeth. Additionally, it is sticky not only on the inside but outside as well. I didn’t really like the feeling, although some may like it when weightlifting. It did bunch up after some heavy deadlifting and there was some sticky residue left on my thumbs.

I got this tape for a costume and wore it all day with virtually no issues at all. The tape sticks quite well to skin, clothing, and itself, is soft and stretchy, and removes with ease and virtually no residue. The only problem I had at all with it was that if you accidentally let the sticky side of the tape touch itself, it would be near impossible to separate again.

Absolutely the best way to tape your fingers for Crossfit and only lifts. I usually rip when doing touch and go reps on cleans or snatches, and hated how much time it took to split hockey tape in half and wrap my thumb and pinky. This is flexible enough to not restrict a hook grip, and can last through a punishing workout. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Not as advertised.

I've used regular athletic tape in the past when Oly lifting and I will never do back after using this. Super flexible, very adhesive, and durable. Stayed in place and protected my thumbs during two back to back workouts.

Best tape ever for taping fingers for CrossFit - it stretches so it does not cut off the circulation but it also sticks like mad while never leaving sticky residue on your skin.

Best tape out there for olympic lifting. Use it for every session.
