SHIELD | 32 Pack Black Bulk Athletic Tape

I train OCR and CrossFit, and sometimes compete. I am in my 40s now and some things bother me - plantar fasciitis (mild) and pull-up bar work can tear at my hands. I have kids and don't want to be sidelined with bandaids and cuts, so I tape with rigid tape. I have used the stuff you get at stores, the big brands you find online, including the ones that market themselves for CF. Shield's product is really solid. Top things I like: - fabric is SOFT - adhesive is strong, but doesn't make handling the tape a huge pain - ripping by hand is really good - this tells you they aren't using cheap junk fabric like some do. - I tape myself, I don't have a trainer to do it, so getting a high quality product direct at home is a plus I'll be honest, I also like that it's made in USA (sorry mom - I know I'm not supposed to post feet on the internet)

This tape is great. Use it instead of athletic tape – it stretches so it doesn’t cut off circulation, and you can tape over a joint and still move it while wearing the tape. Very cool, really different.

This is the only subscription I have on Amazon. That might sound strange, but when you run a gymnastics gym this tape is a must have. Doesn’t bother athletes skin or leave residue. Stays put and works great for athletic support.

Economical and pretty strong

This stuff rocks. I first purchased it to help with my plantar fasciitis pain, for which it is great, but have had several other uses for it since. I’m in the military and take the fitness part of my job seriously, so I train hard. No matter how careful I am, things happen. Most recently, I rolled my ankle while carrying a 60lb ruck, and this tape came to the rescue. Since it is so rigid, it really limited the mobility of my ankle so my body could do its thing and heal. In the gym, I’ve used it to protect my fingers and/or palms from the punishment of barbells and pull up bars on high-rep workouts. My skin is super sensitive, and has flared up with store-bought tapes in the past. No irritation with this stuff, even though it sticks better than those other tapes. Also, it’s made in the USA? Icing on the cake. I will definitely be keeping this in my gym bag and ruck every day moving forward.

Great tape , sometime hard to rip but good quality and lasted enough for me to finish my KIN class

I've been a trainer for 10+ years. I'd never heard of this brand but one of my kids brough in a roll of their Turf Tape and it was the best performing product we've seen. I ordered a case of the white and black athletic tapes and tried them over the last two weeks. Top quality- tears easily, strong and it holds up very well. Compares very well to the Coach tape I've used for years. Very happy to see that it isn't another made in China tape. Made in the USA!

I ordered this product to use while working out at my local gym !I had never used tape before and I was worried that the tape wouldn’t hold up for the entirety of my work out session and that I would end up having to reapply a few times but boy was I wrong ! This tape not only lasted through my entire work out helped me to establish a better grip on my lifts and provide some stability in my wrist but was still holding on strong through out ! I am highly pleased with this product and have even passed some out to others at my gym for them To try ! The tape had no problem adhering to my skin and didn’t loosen up even after sweating and moving around I had to peel it off after my work out ! 10/10 will try again !!!!

Good value for a good product.
