Scary Sticky Premium Athletic Tape, Ultra-Sticky Thumb, Finger & Wrist Tape for Weightlifting, Hook Grip & Cross Workout, Cotton, Latex-Free, 10 Yards, Black & Yellow, 1 Roll

This stuff is very sticky (holds well) and doesn't leave residue. I use it for dodgeball to protect my pinky by taping my pinky and ring finger. I might be imagining it, but I feel like the black tape is stickier than the white tape. I could just be imagining it. I'll be using the black tape moving forward. Unfortunately, it does get slippery when I sweat a lot, but I think this stuff is the gold standard for dodgeball.

Ahhh! I’m in heaven! Adhesion is great. Does not come off when sweaty. I tape four fingers every time I climb (which is my brand of working out). Not because the fingers are injured but because they’re hypermobile. I use a specific under-finger X taping pattern my physical therapist suggested to AVOID hyperextending my proximal interphalangeal joints. I used to use metolius tape, but they’ve changed manufacturers and the tape is not sticky anymore. Goat tape STICKS, is comfortable, and provides the support I need. It tears well but not accidentally (I tear it in thirds to get the strips narrow enough). There’s minimal residue when removing it, and it doesn’t cause skin irritation the way Luco tape does. Yes, Goat tape is expensive. I use a lot, so it probably costs a dollar a day in tape to climb. But would I pay a dollar to avoid injury to my hypermobile fingers? You bet. I just bought my second roll and am so glad I found this tape! Five stars.

amazing tape for blocklaying, grips well to fingers and lasts longer than most tapes

This tape is excellent, gives enhanced grip and has a strong adhesive hold. Easy to use and tear off pieces, made with quality materials, though it is a bit pricey for what you get.

Holds great comes off easy

If you are buying goat tape you should know what you are getting yourself into. This tape is excellent in most climates, in high elevation/ dry you may have a bit of trouble having it stick to your thumbs but in East Texas it’s great, (humid, hot, sweaty). Eventually the sweat will loosen the tape a bit but it’ll still stay on. I recommend tearing it every 6 goats and then ripping those in half so you have 6 long skinny pieces of tape(3 for each thumb) start at the base of the thumb, wrap around TIGHT then top of thumb down also pretty tight and middle of thumb with last piece TIGHT. You might want to have a slight bend in your thumb while doing that. But literally it’s a fool proof method and that tape will stick to your thumbs until you rip it off. The adhesive will stay on for a couple of days even with thorough scrubbing, but it’s not sticky, it’s just sort of there.

I used to tape my thumbs with kinesio tape, and the experience was usually good - KT is durable and flexible, so it feels great on the hand, doesn't rub through and provides excellent protection. However, I always thought it was wasteful (KT is expensive) and not very convenient (because it has a layer that needs to be peeled off, and you need scissors). After reading the rave reviews for this Goat tape, I was excited to buy one! But after using it a few times for lifting, I can say that I'm very disappointed - the only good thing about it is that it can be torn off the roll without scissors. Other than that, it's pretty terrible - it feels like paper, doesn't stretch at all and is hard to wrap around thumbs without it wrinkling. If I add just one layer, I don't feel secure, if I add more, it won't let me bend my thumb and is uncomfortable. And worst of all, it leaves glue on the skin when I take it off - and that glue is really hard to wash off. A roll of kinesio tape costs just a few bucks more than Goat tape - so I guess I'll stick with that one for my activities. Update: ended up getting Jerkfit Nubs for my thumbs and can't be happier.
