Looks like any-old cloth bar tape. You can also use hockey tape. I've never used it purely as grip tape, but by all accounts it gives blisters, is thin, and generally uncomfortable. If you wear gloves then (which I guess you don't), I'm sure it'll be fine.

IME (which is limited):

#1 tape = Fizik suede with the gel inserts or an old innertube underneath. However, in total it is relatively expensive.

#2 Mavic Guido. Very good allrounder, and probably the best standard cheap tape you can get. Search on here for the thread.

Grips - I found v-strong good. Thin, but comfy, very grippy, still plenty of hipster points (despite probably being played out now).

Thanks! Not only do I wear gloves (so the clothtape will be fine?), but I love the looks of that stuff.

I've been running bars with a mixture of cellotape, ductape and electric tape untill recently, where I got so fat cushy carbon-imitation tape, which is alright but I'd go back to cellotape if I didn't spend the 8 bucks. Anyhow, how does that tape feel under wet?

Cheers!
