not much cushioning really, but it's defintely comfortable to grip, however it can be a tad slipper if your hand is dry, the upside is that it's defintely reusable, I've been using the same bar tape on a dozen of bars, talk about cost-efficent.
the downside is that if you wrap it as Brooks show it, the lumpy part can get a bit sore after a while, my advice is to use those cotton tape on the bar first, and then wrap the brooks bar tape, the difference is noticable, it absorb the road shock nicely but still thin enough to feel the road.
