I have ESI bar tape on there now and it's probably my favorite I've ever used. Only problem is that it's only available in black or international orange and I'm looking for something different this time. The aesthetic of my bike is mostly browns and oranges, so I'm hoping for something in that vein without being as prominent as international orange.
I wasn't super impressed with the Lizard Skins durability and the Wolf Tooth supple loses what little tackiness it has at the first drop of sweat, which is no good.
I'm looking for something that has some cushion, maintains some semblance of tackiness when wet (I sweat a lot and end up in the rain on a lot of rides/races), and comes in a variety of colors.
Any and all suggestions, thoughts, and experiences appreciated!

Specialized Roubaix Bar Tape Is very comfy
Love my Spinergy GX wheels. Affordable, tough as nails, and crazy light. 🥂
I’m very happy with my Ergon gravel bar tape.
supacaz super sticky kush. After a bunch of research went with this. Has good cushion and super tacky. I also looked at fizik. Been very happy with supacaz. Haven’t ridden in the wet but don’t expect these to slip at all.
I like Cinelli black cork. Cheap, comfortable, looks good.
Fizik is ok but not great wet.
Love your spinnergy wheels // I miss the spox
Absolutely love Lizard Skin V2 DPS. I prefer a more rubbery, rather than foam, feeling. Not cheap but great tape!
Bontrager Double gel in Rorange.
Ergon or arundel!
