Griptan 85+ Tacky
Hot-weather tacky for 85°F+ days, humidity, direct sun, and sweaty field conditions.
Griptan 85+ Tacky is made for athletes who need grip when the heat starts working against them.
Hot fields, direct sun, long competition days, and sweaty hands can make standard tacky feel too soft, too messy, or harder to control. Griptan 85+ is built for those conditions.
Use it when the temperature is 85°F or higher and you need a drier, firmer tacky that holds up better in heat.
Why Use Griptan 85+?
- Built for 85°F+ conditions
- Useful for hot, humid, or sweaty training days
- Drier, firmer feel than standard tacky
- Helps reduce excess smear in hot weather
- Pairs well with X-Dry when sweat is the problem
- Built for Highland Games, heavy athletics, and approved strongman use
Best For
- Summer Highland Games

- Apply a thin, even layer to the desired contact areas.
- Add small amounts as needed.
