Sometimes you will read that you can have two out of three benefits. In this case I am sorry to tell you it is zero. No tape seals out sweat. No tape is truly durable. Sure you can maybe avoid the tearing, but that is hit or miss. No tape can be successfully cleaned. Once you get black grease or dark hand marks on a white tape, they will not come off. I am in the it's cheap, so replace it often camp. But the things you are after don't matter all that much to me anyway. Maybe I feel that way just because they have never been available in the tapes I have experience with. What matters to me is how the tape feels, how good it looks new, what it costs, and how easy is it to wrap well.
