Well cushioned handlebar tape
I have used the 3.2mm tape on my bicycles for a number of years. It provides good comfort and grip. I've not had a problem. with wear or tearing. Previously, I had double taped my road handlebars, and the 3.2mm offers more comfort.
I've down rated this last purchase as the extra section provided to cover the back of the bars at the brake hoods didn't stick. Holding that piece and wrapping at the hoods was a (slow) exercise in dexterity.
This tape is expensive but worth the price to me. That could be 5 stars or 4 stars in value depending on your outlook.

Lizard Skins DSP Black Handlebar Tape 3.2mm
This is currently my favorite bar tape for all of my bikes. Including my gravel bike. Not only does it look great, but it never loses that great look. I've had it on my road bike that I use the most often for several years, and it still looks just as good as it did when I first put it on. One thing that I don't like is that the directions say not to stretch it. Well, you have to stretch it some on certain areas of the bar. Because if you don't it just won't work right. You just don't want or need to stretch it very much. Another thing is that it has a sort of narrow stick strip that isn't completely centered on the whole length. So it could stand to be a little wider and more centered on the whole length. It does cost a little more than many other bar tapes. But it's because of it's good quality.

Too short with flat bar tops
Comfortable tape, however if you have flat bar tops like the Ritchey bars I have it really needs about 2-3" of more material. I rewrapped both sides twice and am disappointed in the lack of material. You have to be incredibly judicious and even then I'm sure I'll have splits as a result of not overlapping enough material.
The instructions are very specific to "not stretch the tape", which adds to the problem of needing more length.

Comfortable and tacky
Easy to wrap. It says not to pull it tight. It's fairly forgiving of rewrapping. Very comfortable and not overly thick. Good tackiness. Have it on my endurance road bike and would be good for gravel too. If you want a thinner tape that feels like the bars, this probably isn't for you.

Tough to wrap
Nice and cushy, but a bit tough to install cleanly, took a few attempts and a lot of profanities.

Ideal for relieving hand pain
I have arthritis in both hands making vibrations from the handlebars painful at times. This bar tape is much thicker and softer than anything else I've used. I've double wrapped my bars with this tape as the outer layer. It greatly relieves the hand pain issue, although not totally eliminating it. I think it works ery well and highly recommend it.

Good bar tape
Great grip, looks great, quality bar plugs. I used on a Di2 bike so did not use the plugs. The thickness does make it a bit difficult to keep smooth, unless you pay close attention as you wrap.

Comgortable
I have been using lizard skins since 2016. I have tried different thicknesses and colors. The tape is comfortable and long lasting. They are grippy and look good.

Quality Products
Purchased the Lizard Skin DSP handlebar tape and love it for it cushioned grip but mainly for the grip I get on the handlebars. It's not the cheapest option, but I feel the value received is well worth the cost. Love it.
The Phil waterproof grease is my top choice for waterproof grease. I built up a new bike and refused to start the build until this grease arrived. I have used it for over 30 years, and I think it is great stuff!

Excellent tape
I like the sticky grip of Lizard Skin tape. I also like the extra cushioning and thicker padding. This is very comfortable handlebar tape. Definitely recommended.

Good comfy tape
Easy to install, with all the extra bits you need for around the hoods, and to finish up the wrap. The tape itself is nice and cushy, with a good grip - not too sticky, but not too slippery either. Works well in the cold, heat, dry, wet, and on the trainer, and with or without gloves (basically any combination of those). I'm pretty happy with it.
