Had these grips a while now, haven’t done much riding with them due to ill health. These grips are designed for people who don’t like wearing gloves or choose not to wear gloves. I wore gloves at first using these grips but recently went gloveless, was worried about my hands slipping as my hands tend to sweat quite a bit and those feelings was squashed once tried it for first time. No loss of grip what so ever when my hands got sweaty due the Channels. Love the Ribbed channel next to the collar as I put my hands there due riding bmx years ago. Super comfy on the hands, feel confident riding with these grips. It’s my first pair of pnw loam grips and you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be my last. Have yet to ride in the wet and see how long they last before they need replacing .
