Since my 40s I've been padding my bars with 1/2" foam pipe insulation. Six feet for under $4. It usually lasts for a few months, before losing its cushion. I wrap the ends with some black duct tape. The foam is not slick like you'd imagine, and my grip feels secure.

I'm sure, someone more artful than I could make it look good.
