If you don't wrap your bars you mustn't ride it more than a mile at a time, or not at all. I need my tape.

Fully wrapped. But I only ride bullhorns and road drops. If I road track drops or risers I would consider something else.

I ride just about every day in all sorts of weather of all sorts of rough roads. Wrapped bars = warmer hands and less vibration.
FWIW, one of the other three fixed riders here in Riga rides unwrapped bars and usually mentions that his hands are quite cold from gripping cold metal, even with gloves.
