Obviously Dinero didn't get the memo! or (Clicky) in this case! LOL
I've been running a pair of them for just over a year, and I like them. A LOT!
My hands can grip them more like on my old dirt bikes, I feel I have a real hold on the handlebars and not just hanging on to them. In the previous three years winters, I had used a slip on throttle assist lever because I couldn't hold onto the larger grip when my hands were cold. I have yet to use this device since changing my grips to the contours. I just noticed they are offering this grip in a heated version now. $219.99 is a bit much, so I will likely glove up for half the money.
On the same note, me being a wood butcher my hands are pretty rough, thus are creating a bit of rapid wear on the stippling on the grip. As their is a lifetime warranty on the grip and the rubber as well, when I wear mine out I will just request new rubber for them.
My $0.02
