Mueller Athletic Tape, 1.5" X 15yds White, 4 pack

This is a great product especially for the price. I am a pole vaulter and we use athletic tape almost all the time for wrapping portions of the pole where you hold. It is very easy to apply to poles and it will hold for a fair amount of time (for pole vault the time it holds will depend on the use and care of the poles) if you like a little bit of a used feel. But if you like the tape to be replaced often this tape will come off with no problem and it will leave a good area to reapply tape. This is a very versatile product and can be used for a multitude of activities.

I use this to tape my wrist and finger during rock climbing, they seem to work well for me. I don't notice any issues. I do agree with the other comments that this tape comes off easily if I rinse my wrist/finger with water but otherwise they stay on pretty well, so it's not a problem for me.

I’ve tried many other brands but Mueller is by far my favorite. I’ve used this same brand since back when I used to play college volleyball. I’m a setter and would sometimes jam my fingers and need it to tape my fingers. Also I sprained my ankle very badly and needed to tape my ankle before games. Currently, my kids and I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and we use this tape to tape our fingers when necessary. Other tapes will leave sticky residue on your skin or not stick together very well. This has always been most reliable and it’s easier to tear where you need it.

It's about as cheap as athletic tape can come by. I use these for olympic weightlifting. However, the tape doesn't stick to the base of my fingers (thumbs for hook grip, ring and middle finger) and often "slips" into my knuckles. In contrast, the McDavid tape rolls, though slightly more expensive, effectively stays in place. Depends on what you need these to do - I'm pretty sure the tape is fine for normal purposes - but they work out perfectly for my purposes.

Great for wrapping arches

Since you get 4 of them you can keep a roll in your gym bag, your climbing gear bag, a med kit, and wherever else you need one.Wrapping hands and fingers is a primary use but I've improvised bandages with this tape on many occasions as well as covered chafe-prone areas to protect skin from rubbing (e.g. heels whilst hiking).Very versatile, would recommend stocking up on these.

While the tape is plenty strong due to the woven thread nature of it, the adhesion leaves a lot to be desired. As others have mentioned, the off the shelf grocery store brand is much better in terms of adhesion. I read the other reviews and figured "they're probably exaggerating", but nope. If your hands aren't bone dry, the part you touch to pull the tape off the roll will not adhere completely. Same goes for the area you are using it. If it's not bone dry and all oils removed, it will not adhere well at all. I recommend looking for another product.

Our local big-box store is literally ALWAYS out of this product. Having kids in baseball and football, and having PTTD myself as a hiker, we need to have ample tape on hand. This stuff works great, as long as you know what you're doing and know how to tape up for your condition. Minimal sticky residue in my experience.
