Evolv Magic Climbing Hand Tape

$6.36 (20% off, was $7.95)

Needless to say, taping isn’t the most fun part of climbing—but sometimes it’s what lets us climb. Evolv’s medical-grade tape is water-resistant and self-adherent. This means two things. First: it’s not going to loosen when you sweat. Second, unlike most athletic tapes, it sticks to itself rather than your skin, so it won’t yank the hair from the backs of your fingers when you pull it off.
