* We (MEC) stock both the black and white colours schemes, however our local supplier holds healthy stocks of a multitude of colours - 17 different hues in fact! (as detailed below).
* This 'version two' iteration, boasts a new polymer that is more durable and comfortable (increased shock absorption to prevent compromised blood circulation/numbing) than that of its forebearer.
* A revised grid pattern provides more grip for those letterbox sprints or high-summer, high humidity, perspiring efforts. The tape will not absorb moisture, even in the most challenging environments.
