Electrical Tape 18mm x 20m (1)

Sock tape wraps over the top of the sock to hold a shin pad against the leg. This is Nitto black electrical tape, 18mm x 20m, the sock tape trainers and players reach for to keep socks up and shin pads in place. It's a thin PVC vinyl tape at 0.18mm, lead-free per the manufacturer, so it wraps close and lies flat without adding bulk.

Wrapped around the top of the sock, over the shin pad, the 18mm width sits neatly and the thin vinyl film flexes with the leg through running and contact. Black is the standard colour for keeping the look clean under club socks, and the 20m roll covers repeat use across game days.

Sock tape earns its place in the trainer's bag next to the strapping tape and the rest of the kit, so a club can add it to the same order. Straptor is Australian owned and run, with everything shipped nationwide, walk-in at our East Bendigo store, and phone advice from people who know the range.

Usage

Wrap it around the top of the sock, over the shin pad, and around a couple of times so it holds through the game, then peel it off afterwards. In football it is the standard way to keep socks up and shin pads from sliding. It is electrical insulation tape by design, so the same roll also handles general taping and marking jobs around the kit.
