Powerflex 2" Stretch Athletic Tape - 6 Rolls, Black

Works as advertised.

I’m at AT and use this in my kit. This works just as well as the high end name brand supply. Save your money, buy this instead

I LOVE this product! It’s almost like a Coban of sorts, and is very useful. I tend to have difficulty with prewrap on my ankle, and I’ve noticed this holds and works so much better. Tape adheres to it very well and doesn’t fall apart. Definitely worth it if you are in athletics and need a little more support.

I play a lot of softball and have been taping up my wrists for years. In the process, I'd go through countless rolls of athletic tape and often dealt with the tape coming unraveled mid-game. Then I discovered Powerflex and this stuff is the bomb (note: are people still saying "the bomb" or is that done?).It sticks to itself and doesn't come undone. It's that simple. You don't need to use extra tape to keep it wrapped and attached. Once you stick it, it's there until you unwrap it or cut it off. It stays tight and provides the support and compression I'm looking for when I play.It costs a little more than regular athletic tape, but you also waste decidedly less of it and it works far better. If you buy it in bulk, it's actually a pretty good deal. Buying it by the roll can be way too expensive. That is pretty much my only complaint.

Great grip tape for the butt end of a hockey stick. Need to replace often. However, it works great.

It does what it should

Works perfect for securing wrist wraps and hand grips for workouts. Tape is elastic enough to create tension and sticky enough to stay in place, but easily removed. For a product that you use daily and throw away, this is a good value pack. Does not tear easily by hand, so use teeth or have scissors nearby.

I use a decent amount of tape for wrist support and to protect my thumbs when lifting, especially with the nagging wrist pain I've had for the last couple of months. That's why I was looking for a better way to buy tape than just the single rolls at the store. While I was researching, I came across the Powerflex Stretch Athletic Tape.When I first read that the tape sticks not to your skin but to itself, I had three thoughts.1. That's some voodoo magic2. How well can that actually work?3. That would eliminate the possibility of me getting a bald spot right on my wrists!After going through about 3 rolls of this stuff I feel amply experienced to give my thoughts.Support - 5/5The first thing I was looking for in this tape was wrist support. The Powerflex tape is decently stretchy, but stays tight on the wrists with a good wrap. I was worried that, if the tape did stretch a lot, it would contract and expand during the lifts, causing the tape to either cut off my blood flow, or slip loose. I didn't experience either of these problems.Flexibility of Use - 3/5Well the tape definitely sticks to itself, so that was a pretty cool suprise. I was actually a bit scared pulling it off the first time, as I have had some bad experience with some very sticky tape pulling out a massive amount of hair, but I was worried for nothing. The Powerflex Tape performs as advertised, and leaves your precious skin and hair untouched. However, this makes it difficult to use in various scenarios. Generally, this tape can only be used as a wrap. So, if you use it as I do, to wrap it around your thumbs and wrists, it's perfect. However, this product can work really well in tandem with a normal sports tape (I recommend Coach Sports Tape). The Powerflex also doesn't tear very well which again limits it's flexibility. It can't be used for small finger guards, as it's too thick for that. Also, it can be difficult to tear on your own if you are wrapping a wrist. On one of the rolls I experienced no problem with getting a clean tear, but the other two rolls have given me trouble.Durability - 4/5Because of the nature of the tape, and the fact that it sticks to itself, it can be difficult to get a good, tight wrist wrap on your own. This is because one full rotation needs to be completed around the wrist before the tape can stick to itself. Also, because the Powerflex Tape can be difficult to tear, if you try and rip the tape for yourself while attached to your wrist, it can start to bunch up and lose some effectiveness (in a similar way to normal tape when the adhesive sides contact each other). However, all of these issues can be completely avoided with a partner helping you wrap.I have had the issue of the final wrap coming loose during a workout, but the majority of the tape stayed secure all the same.Overall - 4/5Use this tape for larger wraps, not small patches. If wrapping your wrists, use a partner if possible. If you wish to kep the hair on your skin, and not worry about pulling it out everytime you set a wrap, look no further.Good product, good value (the rolls are pretty large).
