i used the brooks tape and it hasn't been a problem.
though the cotton with the shellac is not a bad idea to give some cushion,
the brooks leather bar tape is pretty firm and stiff until it breaks in.

As someone who sweats heavily and has come to prefer cloth bar tape I don’t
think perforated leather would be any more of an issue than highly absorbent
cotton cloth and I’ve never had an issue although my mileage has been limited
and bar wraps short lived anyway with lots of recent bar
Hi Ted,
I wear gloves when riding, so don't have the sweat issue you described but
I also don't see the holes getting gunked up with dirt of any other type.
But the few times I've ridden short distances I've found Brooks leather
tape to be kinda slick, not as grippy as it feels with gloves.
