Genesis Excel™ Copper is the first and only performance tape to offer therapeutic benefits that may relieve hand fatigue and soreness while protecting your skin. By adding Copper Infuzion™, we’ve given you more of the therapeutic elements found in our patented K-Motion™ kinesiology tape, without sacrificing any of the benefits you get from our original Excel™ Classic line. 1- Red (Fastest) Our thinnest performance tape also happens to be the quickest releasing tape in the Excel™ line. It features a quality synthetic material that has a fine knit weave for a smooth, almost silky, feel. Plus, the extra thin profile gives it the most stretch in either direction. If you like a quicker than normal release, you'll have no hang ups here. 2- Blue (Medium-Fast) Excel™ 2 has a release speed that is close to, if not slightly quicker than, bare skin. It has a smooth feel to its medium weave pattern, and is a step up in both thickness and texture from Excel™ 1. If you are looking more for protection and fit from your tape, without a drastic change to your release speed, then blue is for you. 3 - Purple (Medium-Slow) Excel™ 3 is the thickest of the three synthetic tapes, yet provides a medium release speed for the line. It will be slightly slower than bare skin, and has a tighter weave pattern with a soft, almost fuzzy, feel. A very "middle of the road" style for fit and release, yet it offers a high level of protection. 4 - Orange (Slowest) Excel™ 4 is a cotton tape with a medium weave that is similar to Excel™ 2 in appearance, but with a much thicker profile. You will notice a slower release speed due to the higher friction material, but the protection is outstanding. The combination of thickness and weave pattern make this a great "base" option for layering tape.
