For what purpose? Regular old duct tape does just fine for me...."100mph tape" sounds like marketing hyperbole to me....

A quick internet check suggests that 100 mph tape and duct tape are the same thing.

Are you a high speed low drag operator?

If not then a roll of 3M Performance Plus Nuclear Duct Tape should suffice. shocked

There are better tapes out there, and some are made to withstand higher temperatures than others. Gorilla tape is good, much better than military green 100mph tape.

Military 100MPH tape sucks big time!!!It leaves behind gooey residue and doesn't hold for crap if it gets cold or wet.So the answer is,Yes GORILLA brand tape is much better than 100 MPH tape any day.....JMHO

Me three, I use regular duct tape for some things but Gorilla has better adhesion and a much more durable backing in my personal experience anyway. I don't have any studies to cite.

I'm the sort of person that would rather use a less expensive product when I can but when it looks like a tough job the Gorilla tape comes out. I'm much more impressed with their tape then their glue.

No affiliation; just a satisfied customer.

In agreement with these other answers, yes I am sure it is better. Stick longer, endures extremes of weather better. Military green duct tape is just basic duct tape in a different color, as far as I know. There are different grades of duct tape, but I have never seen different grades of 100mph tape, just different sizes (widths). Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of 100mph tape and have used it to fix many, many things.
