These have been sold out for a while now due to COVID (as with everything else in the industry), but I was able to source a pair from an awesome local Race Face employee who happened to have an extra set that he wasn't using. The Race Face staff community have been awesome to work with on customer service inquiries over the past several months!

The 33mm grips are the best I've ever tried in my 30+ years of riding. My glove size is medium as a reference point.
In my opinion, they have "just the right" level of squishiness and are super tacky. The hexagonal ridged finger surface on the underside has actually surprised me at how well it provides traction for a confident grip on the bars. I will occasionally death grip on very steep descents which always leaves me with some pinching/blistering after a long day (e.g., after a full day at Whistler bike park). These grips have not entirely alleviated my hand discomfort on those long rides, but I'd say they've improved it by 80%. The other 20% is up to me to be more relaxed with my posture and grip :)
I hope these grips will last for a reasonable amount of time. In the past, softer grips like these haven't been that durable.
If you're on the fence to try these, don't be. The price is such that if you don't like the 33mm, just get another 30mm pair and you've still only spent what it would otherwise cost for a single pair of competing grips elsewhere. Read LessRead less about These have been sold out for a while
