Part of it began to peel immediately

So disappointed. Paid to have it applied and part of it began peeling immediately. Will need to replace it when I have time. This should be refunded along with the cost of using it.

Feels nice but terrible durability
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 2.7mm

I wrapped by bars at the start of the outdoor season and hadn't yet put 1000 miles on my road bike before the right side was worn through and the left is starting to go. Tape did feel nice while it lasted. But I wouldn't recommend unless you enjoy spending money and wrapping your bars every 1000 miles.

Good grip until you sweat

A bit more fussy than others to install, just pull tight and doublecheck your work (I didn't and looks like feces on a few bends). Color is pretty good but I prefer the neon on my old Deda grip, padding is that Goldilocks "not too thick not too thin", and the grip is nice and tacky (think old school receiver gloves with a light coat of some stick 'em sprayed on) when dry or mildly sweaty. However, once you get decently sweaty (I did ~2k vert/3 mile hill today) the grip is essentially gone to where I lost confidence and descended about 10mph slower than usual on this route.

Looks cheap.

The Vento Solocush Tacky bar tape looks thin and cheap. The "pattern" which appears to be pressed into the surface is actually printed on the surface of the tape. The color of the tape (grey in this case) is not thru body so the body color (white) shows on the edge not covered by the lap. The surface does feel sufficiently grippy but over all the product is a disappointment.
