Product Description
There's a difference between the way you train and the way you race. Every day in training you're building the habit, doing the reps, dialing in your pacing and breathing rhythm. But on race day — in a HYROX final, on the back half of a marathon, during the last interval of a hard brick session — you need every inch of performance your body can give you.
Pneuma Competition+ is a 3-bar triple-support nasal strip built for peak effort — delivering the highest airflow lift in the Pneuma lineup with a professional-grade adhesive that stays locked through sweat, heat, and the hardest minutes of your race.
Triple-Bar Maximum Lift — Where PowerLite uses two bars for everyday training comfort, Competition+ stacks three bars across your nasal passages for the greatest mechanical lift Pneuma produces. More bars mean more opening force, more airflow, and more oxygen reaching working muscles when your body is demanding it most.
Race-Grade Adhesive That Won't Quit — Competition+ uses a stronger adhesive formulation than the sleep or training strips — engineered specifically to stay locked through intense sweat, wind, and sustained high-output effort. The strip you put on at the start line is still fully seated at the finish.
Organic Silk, Even at Maximum Lift — Same natural silk construction as the rest of the Pneuma lineup. Maximum lift doesn't mean harsh materials — the strip flexes naturally with your face and removes cleanly without redness or residue, even after a hard two-hour effort.
When you're pushing at or above threshold, your respiratory system is already working at capacity. Any additional airway resistance — even minor nasal restriction — forces your body to work harder for the same oxygen delivery. Competition+ removes that ceiling mechanically, letting your lungs and cardiovascular system operate at full capacity instead of fighting restricted airflow on top of everything else your body is managing.
How to Use Pneuma Competition+ Performance Tape
Apply: Clean and dry your nose bridge. Apply the strip centered across your nostrils, pressing edges firmly to ensure full adhesive contact before you start warming up. The 3-bar lift works passively — no adjustments needed even through heavy sweating and sustained intensity.
Post-race removal: Peel gently downward. Single use; dispose after each session.
Pro tip: Use PowerLite for daily training to build your nasal breathing habit, then step up to Competition+ for your A-races and hardest training days. The progression makes the race-day strip feel even more effective.
Stop leaving airflow on the table when it matters most. Competition+ is the strip you reach for when the effort is at its highest and the margin is at its smallest.

Pneuma Competition+ Performance Tape FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Pneuma Competition+ Performance Tape.
Competition+ is Pneuma's race-day nasal strip — a triple-bar design that delivers the highest mechanical lift in the Pneuma lineup. It's built for peak efforts, not daily training, with a race-grade adhesive engineered to stay locked through sweat, heat, and sustained high-output work. Comes in a 15-pack.
Two things: the number of bars and the adhesive strength. Competition+ runs three bars and a race-grade adhesive. PowerLite runs two bars and a training-grade adhesive. More lift, stronger hold — but Competition+ is purpose-built for race day and peak efforts, not every training session. Save them for when it counts.
Yes — completely. Nasal strips are not banned by WADA, USATF, or HYROX, and you'll see them on athletes across marathons, triathlons, cycling races, and CrossFit competitions. Put it on and race.
That's exactly what it's built for. Competition+ uses a stronger adhesive than any other strip in the Pneuma lineup — engineered specifically to stay seated through 2+ hours of sustained sweat and high-output effort. No mid-race readjusting.
No. One strip, one session. The adhesive loses its mechanical lift after removal, so trying to reuse it means less lift and a strip that won't stay put. At 15 per pack, treat each one as a single-use race tool.
