Makes for thicker bars but very cushy! I find lizard skins greater when dry but if it gets wet or your hands sweat it is like grabbing a bar of soap, very slippery. I also find the the Fizik tapes last forever but are somewhat harder to work with, especially the thicker ones as they do not stretch and can be difficult to fit in the barend with the plug.
Just got in some Fizik "Vento Solocush Tacky". Seems great for now, but did Fizik redo their product lineup or naming for tapes? Vento, Tempo and Terra naming with Microtex or 'cush' thickness, in turn with tacky or soft feel, or classic..
