Well, I've received it, and it is indeed too thick to wrap top down. You get ridged layers. I started and had to give up a few wraps in and go bottom up with some electrical tape at the ends. It's thicker than I imagined it would be. I've just ordered two rolls of my trusty regular cloth wrap. It was worth a shot, and I will say it's comfy, but I'd rather wear gloves or do two rolls of regular cloth if vibrations etc. were an issue. But I've never had an issue with cloth except for on much longer rides.
