Plastic tape is expensive. Each application only lasts for a short period of time and hockey players use up to four metres every time they put on their equipment. Sock Trap is a cost-effective solution made to last for years, not just a single use.
Once the Sock traps are on, they will remain attached and ready to be adjusted every time you pull up or slide down your socks. With plastic tape, on the other hand, you have to search your bag for it, apply it, find the seams and peel it off, then purchase it over and over again.
Countless kilometres of plastic tape are discarded into garbage bins and sent to overflowing landfill sites. That tape will remain there for countless years before decomposition. The growing use of Sock Trap will greatly reduce the pace of this environmental damage.
