The difference is far greater than the names would suggest. Both are elasticated cotton, adhesive bandages that adhere to the skin but that’s where the similarity ends.

EAB:

• Is more robust. It uses a thicker cotton and has a far higher tensile strength, meaning it can only be cut with a scissors.
• It has a feathered edge (for added comfort) and a central line to help reduce overlapping.

TEAR EAB:

• As the name would suggest, it is hand tearable.
• It is a lighter weight and has a “crinkled” texture which helps aid multiple layers.
• Is more versatile and the most popular tape for rugby.

Our EAB comes in 3 sizes; 2.5CM / 5CM / 7.5CM.

2.5CM – Use to protect thumbs and fingers.

5CM – Ideal for ankle, wrist and knee taping.

7.5CM – Knees and shoulder strapping. Securing lifting blocks for rugby.

EAB is water resistant (rain resistant!) meaning that it will survive a heavy down pour during a match, or a sweat-fest during the Summer, but it can't be used for water sports.

The No 1 choice for thumb taping in rugby is 2.5CM EAB.

Shaving before applying is not necessary. The level of adhesion combined with adequate pressure will hold the EAB in place.

Due to the compressive nature of the tape, if applied incorrectly you can inhibit blood flow. Therefore we would always recommend that you check circulation post application and during activity.
