Comments about Soma Fabrications Soma Thick and Zesty Bar Tape:
The bar tape held up well when I took a fall. No rips, no tears, no unwinding. It's ok in that regard. Not sure I like the rest of it.
I ordered mine in brown, hoping for a leathery colour. Nope. I'd say it's about #F0B75B in colour. Use a hex color picker to see what I mean. I was hoping for a leathery or slightly plasticky texture/look. Unfortunately, the surface feels like very fine open cell foam. It's soft, sure, but I was hoping for something more like the feel of a badminton racquet. The tape itself is pretty thick, and feels comfortable to hold.
I was a somewhat surprised to find that the adhesive backing on the tape was provided by a strip of double sided tape, and not a strip of adhesive applied to the tape itself. What's the difference? The double sided tape has a tendency to come off the bar tape when pulled on. Not too big an issue once everything's wrapped though. The included finishing tape isn't very good. Not particularly sticky, stretchy, or nice looking. Stick to electrical tape or twine here.
Overall, I guess this bar tape is very much a case of you get what you pay for. Mind you, I'd still get this if I wanted bar tape on the cheap. I just wish the colours were better.

Comments about Soma Fabrications Soma Thick and Zesty Bar Tape:
I've put this on a couple different bikes and it has held up very well. It's not as nice as some of the higher end stuff, but for the price it's a good option.
