Thickest bar tape

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Please only reply if you are sure it is thicker than others

Damn I could have told you about this amazing bar tape I have, which comes in red, but I'm not 100% sure that it's thicker than all others. Shame.

no problem, i just dont want it to turn into "mine is bestest" i would like an input from people who have tried lots and what they recommend as the thickest but if you genuinely think it is amazing and werent being sarcastic then please share as im sure it will help others too.

Obviously not used it yet, but the 3.2 lizard skins looks meaty

Yeah it does!

I was initially disappointed when I first got the S-wrap, it didn't look that thick to me and only 1mm thicker than the tape I removed. That 1mm makes a lot of difference though!

I just got some Bontranger stuff from my local Giant dealer which comes with some Gel pads to put underneath, certainly pads it out nicely although I haven't ridden with it yet

I've found Bontrager Bargel with Fizik gel pads under it to be the best so far.
I ride Rough Stuff on drops quite a bit and in warmer weather don't like to wear mitts or gloves,I also suffer from Osteo Arthritis in my hands so need the padding to be pretty good.
I used to use the BBB stuff but it's nowhere near as good good as the Bonti/Fizik combo.The only thing is the blue is a bit 'BLUE' if you know what I mean
I found a pic of mine:-

Don't get me wrong , it looks fine . I just didn't like the look of thick tape on my own bike and I don't feel I need it . Then again I am a carpenter so my hands are very used to getting bashed about .
