The PST Pro-Wrap sock tape is made of a special type of latex, so it sticks well to your socks to keep your shin pads in place. The special latex is non-adhesive and adheres 100% to itself, so there is no glue that can damage the skin or cause irritation. That is why the tape is also used to strengthen joints during sports. The PST PRO WRAP is easy to tear off and water resistant.
