Pros & Cons
Pros
It's a lot softer then my other bar tapes. Perfect for gravel bikes. One complaint is that the tape is a little short if you have wider bars or like taping with more overlap.
It is thick with tapered edges. There's a large bead of clear silicone on the back side which dampens vibration and helps with adhesion.
Cons
Not very durable. Left hood area is pretty deterioated as well. My drop bars are t3 carbons, by no means oversized.
