Where can I buy a box of athletic tape in Calgary? Anyone know a good place for sports med supplies? pro wrap, tuf skin, heel & lace pads, etc.

For the actual tape, I've just used regular hockey tape. It sticks better than most of the tapes you can get at Shoppers and Safeway. It also doesn't rip at the skin as bad as people think, as long as there's no hair.

:werd: i use hockey tape, depending on what i'm wrapping, i use either stick tape or sock tape. you can get them in bulk or individually at sport check for less than 4 bucks.

I also use hockey tape you can get packs of four rolls for next to nothing at crappy tire.

But hockey tape doesn't tear as nicely as athletic tape, and if you don't use it for a while the adhesive bonds the roll competely together rendering it useless.

If thats an issue you can go to sport check, coast mountain sports, or Mountain Equipment Coop has athletic tape pretty cheap.
