Powell Peralta Hydrant Grip

Unlike traditional silicon carbide grip tape, this plastic-based grip is designed to provide a consistent, high-friction surface that doesn't wear down as quickly. It offers a unique feel underfoot that prioritizes long-term durability and weather resistance over the gritty texture of standard tape.

The Hydrant Grip is engineered to balance traction with longevity. While it provides a secure hold for your feet, the plastic construction is generally less aggressive on shoe suede than standard coarse-grit tape, helping your skate shoes last a bit longer.

Yes, it applies similarly to standard grip tape. Just ensure your deck surface is clean and dry before peeling the backing and smoothing it down from the center outward to avoid air bubbles.

The Hydrant Grip is specifically designed to maintain its traction properties even when exposed to moisture. Its plastic composition resists the water absorption that typically causes traditional grip tape to lose its stickiness.

It is versatile enough for both. The superior traction provides the stability needed for cruising and commuting, while the reliable surface grip gives you the confidence to lock in your feet for technical flip tricks.
