leukosports tape, best ever. rigid enough yet flexible enough to allow some movement and not rip

Mueller tape is very good. I have been using it for the past 4 years. I have tried with other ones like leuko, but quality of the tape was not good. Try using Mueller tape.

It depends on what you are using the tap for. Leuko from Biersdorf Smith and Nephew (BSN) is graded differently in different countries. By that I mean that the "stickiness" is different as the glue is different in different countries. I have had this confirmed by BSN themselves. They tell me that in Australia the rigid strapping tape is very sticky because the Aussies request a high level of performance from the tape. This is very different if you buy the same tape in the UK. For the record I am an Aussie who always swore by the rigid strapping tape from BSN when in OZ. I have now been working in Europe for over 10 years and the quality is CRAP. I am yet to find a rigid tape in the whole of Europe that gives me what I want.
