Fresh Goods Sunday - Prologo One Touch 2 bar tape

This is a new bar tape that I have not used before. Calvin from Westbrook Cycles recommended I try it out and see how I get on. The colour of the blue and yellow on the ends is a very near match to my new Cannondale Slate Apex. The feel of the material is super tacky and not too thin. The only other bar tape I have felt like this is Lizard skins. The fitting takes some time as you have to be careful when overlapping the wraps to get the spacing right for the coloured strips. Once at the top you cannot cut any spare off so you have to judge it so it works out just right. Tbh I would never fit this model of tape again due to the hassle, best just stick to plain one colour, makes life a lot more easier when fitting. In the packet to get two rolls, two bar end plugs and two finishing off strips which are lovely and wide & sticky, what you don't get is two shorter pieces for around the clamp area of the shifter/brake levers.
In use I have yet to loose grip with full winter gloves on and is comfortable to use on road and on gravel tracks. I have not had the chance to try it on a long ride yet over 2 1/2 hours so cannot comment of long time comfort. If you are doing alot of big gravel / small rock trails then its a little on the this side. The best tape i have found for that is from Cannondale, its thicker in the middle section and has a lovely grip / feel to it.
The rrp is a eye watering £26 and here is the manufacturers blurb -
