Decathlon gel bar tape

I was spending some lunchtime minutes in Decathlon Reading the other day and spotted their gel bar tape
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/gel-handlebar-tape-black-id_5420766.html
for £6.99.
I thought that it looks very like the Pro Gel Bar Tape
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=24226&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom
that sells for $13.99 in Wiggle and ChainReaction but £8.99 inc. P&P from Wheelies on Ebay.
So I bought some and used it tonight fitting some new Pro PLT compact bars (because I'm old and inflexible
)
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff but Decathlon only do it in black whereas Pro does it in pretty patterns (including pink floral
)
The reason for mentioning this is that I find this style of tape really easy to apply, and to take off and use again and again. Also very comfortable with only a single layer.
