Is this arm band really worth the extra $2.00 over the Extreme Rage Arm Band Elastic/Velcro band? Yes it is. We used homemade bands before deciding to go to a uniform construction band. We purchased one of each band before deciding to purchase 20 of one or the other. After playing several matches with both bands, the team overwhelmingly decided that the Redz Tournament/ Field Arm Bands are much more comfortable and did not suffer “roll-up” as did the cheaper band. The construction is much better, and direct shots cleaned up well.
