Skaters Use Pre-wrap

I just got a really nice note from Victor over at Capital Ice. Since we're not skaters, he kindly explained how they use our pre-wrap.

"For the ankle area which also needs protection against the hard boots (without the pads, I get blisters), the sleeves do not work very well; after skating hard for an hour, the pads will slip out of the sleeve. So I use the prewrap and the athletic tape instead. And it works very well. I've been using it for a year or so.

First I use the prewrap around my ankle, put the pads on it, then use more
prewrap around it. To hold everything tight, I use the athletic tape."

He also told us how much he likes the story of how our business started and all of the colors that we have.

His comments touched us and just reinforces how much we love our customers. Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback. We really do love to hear what you have to say!

College Basketball Thinks Pink This Week


More than 800 college basketball teams are participating in the annual Women's Basketball Coaches Association "Think Pink" initiative for breast cancer awareness. Players are wearing pink - pink uniforms, pink pre-wrap, pink headbands, even pink shoelaces. Coaches are wearing pink and fans are asked to wear pink t-shirts. Refs are even using pink whistles!

Why not don some pink this week - whether your team is participating or not. Got a game this weekend? Add some pink and show your spirit. Breast cancer affects 12 percent of women, according to the National Cancer Institute. It's certainly hit home in our family.

The Pre-wrap Look Goes High Fashion

Think pre-wrap is just for sports? Think again! Check out ZOOZOOM Fashion Wars review of Araks runway show.

"Reserved, streamlined, and full of pastels, Araks is what the popular girls would wear at their summer homes when they get too old for their Abercrombie. Hair was teased into a powdery messy beehive. Rather than bees, this hive was surrounded by thin ribbon headbands. Hair was reminiscent of the pre-wrap field hockey players use to keep their eyes clear during games."
