Works well, easy to use
I actually purchased this to replace the foam grip on the handle to my folding wagon, I was looking for something slightly cushioned that would be pretty easy to apply and this worked perfectly. Gives enough grip and some cushioning and it was very easy to stretch and wrap around the handlebars. The electrical tape strips that are included seal the ends very neatly and hold very well. Also it has a slight Sparkle or Shimmer to the material which even makes it look pretty. Very pleased at this affordable option would definitely keep this in mind for strollers wagons and other type of handlebars you may need to replace or upgrade, outside of just bicycles.

Perfectly adequate bar tape
To be clear- this "Set of 2" includes enough handlebar tape to wrap one handlebar. It is two pieces, one for the left side and one for the right side.It is very basic bar tape. It is called EVA foam, but think of it as synthetic cork. It's strong enough to take a bit of tension, which is good if you like to stretch your bar tape when wrapping. It's long enough for a standard wrapping style. The bar end plugs aren't fancy but they work. I usually just use electrical tape to finish the ends but the included tape will work. They do not include a tiny filler piece to go by your shift levers, so cut a three inch piece for yourself if you are concerned about having no gaps around your levers- the tape is long enough that it can handle losing three inches of the end. There is a sticky backing layer on the back- not really my thing but some people may appreciate it.This is good affordable bar tape for anyone that wraps their handlebars frequently. You won't break the bank with it and it works fine. It's not premium $40 tape, but I think that clean regular tape looks better than someone trying to make their expensive tape last for years.

Easy to install and comfortable
I have been using a name brand padded tape for many years and it has held up well on my CX bike. When time came to replace the tape I decided to ALIENPROS based on price and reviews. The new tape is good, but I am not sure it is as durable as my other brand, based on initial examination, I guess time will tell. My only real gripe is the bar plugs seem very small and cheap and fit too loose into my handlebar. I ended up re-using my old plugs. The sticky tape is also a bit weak in my sample.

Really nice inexpensive tape
This tape is nice looking, thick, and velvety. It went on easily and there was plenty of tape to wrap my entire bar (both sides). Even the finishing tape is nice quality compared to other brands I've used. Although it is adhesive backed, its not so sticky that you can't re-apply if it needs slight adjustments. Also very flexible as you can stretch it and it won't break.Has a nice textured feel...almost velvety even though its rubber foam and not cloth. Not super sticky...just right. I haven't tried it outdoors in the rain yet but I'm betting it will be just fine. Overall I'm very satisfied.

good cushioning and grip
Actually used half of this on a lawn mower which, with this, is far more comfortable to use. The other half was enough to provide some improved cushioning on a road bike.Have to say, this is about the easiest handlebar tape that I've ever used and it provides good cushioning and grip.

$10 bar tape
Not the worst bar tape but you get what you pay for. Adhesive strip stuck to the removable backing strip more than the tape itself almost tearing the tape when pulling the backing strip if not careful. The tape is also kinda weak when stretching while wrapping, it tore on me once when working around the top bends and had to finagle it back together. Finishing tape is meh, not sticking the best and rather short pieces, you'd be better off with plain electrical tape. Also no bar end plugs included like most other slightly more expensive tape options. It is fairly cushioned though if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for a cheap quick bar tape option or building up a bike you don't want to spend a lot on, this is a good option. If it's a bike you ride a lot and really care for, I'd consider something else. Sram supercork & pnw coast tape at ~$20 are substantially better tape options at this price point, just my .02

good for price
worth every cent for an older steel road bike and a old japanese racing bikes drop bars.the thickness is a bit lacking so you may need to double wrap in certain places to have it squish more and be much more comfortable.

Adhesive?
I have been using the AP Chameleon tape for a bit; needed to do a quick rerun of the brake lines and figured I'd just grab this as a temporary until the Chameleon tape would be delivered (three days?)This bar tape was probably my worst experience with bar tape. The adhesive nearly came off while separating the paper and tape. Not only was it a pain to wrap because the adhesive was half/half (there/gone) but the layering I typically do was somehow next to impossible.It's also only a few dollars more for the AP Chameleon and that actually feels pretty great AND sticks
