REP Thumb Tape was designed by lifters, for lifters, to protect your thumbs during hook grip barbell workouts. Ideal for Olympic weightlifters, functional fitness athletes, powerlifters, and Strongman competitors, this tape provides reliable, high-quality protection from blisters and calluses, allowing you to push your limits without unnecessary discomfort.
Known for its durability and performance, this lifting tape is made from stretchy materials that offer superior protection without compromising movement. Each roll of REP Thumb Tape is 4.5m long; the number of uses depends on how thick you want it, but with the recommended two layers of tape per thumb, each roll should last about 20 applications. This lifting tape order comes in a three pack.
With REP Thumb Tape, you can train harder, recover faster, enhance your grip, and reach your peak potential without the distraction of thumb discomfort or injury. Trust REP to keep your hands protected so you can focus on what matters most: your performance.
Highlights include:

- Superior protection: The 5cm width provides superior protection for thumbs without hindering movement, making it ideal for intense lifting sessions.
- Great stretch: Tape can stretch up to 170% for a perfect fit on thumbs.
- High-performance material: The slightly textured, breathable material is 95% cotton and 5% spandex.

Always check with your association, as rulebooks can vary by association/competition level/year, but you can typically use tape in Olympic weightlifting, functional fitness, and powerlifting meets, as long as it follows certain parameters. For example, with USAPL (powerlifting), you must wrap the tape circumferentially around the thumb but only in specific layers/overlap; can't wear it anywhere other than the thumbs; and cannot cover the whole thumb. With USAW and IWF, you need to make sure the tip of the thumb remains exposed. In the CrossFit Games, support gear like tape that improves safety/comfort but doesn't provide athletic advantage is allowed; you can't wear tape with any unapproved logos, however.
While the tape does have a slight texture, it is not enough to provide an extra advantage in competitions, so you will still want to use chalk for your grip instead of relying on tape alone. This makes the tape legal to use in meets and allows you control over how much grip assistance you want via chalk.
No warranty.
