Dual Compound design with a soft, sticky feel. 2 ply grips add strength and durability. Comes with push in plugs. Great for people with medium sized hands. Length: 5 1/8" or 130mm.
the outermost softer layer seems like it might start to blister/peel after more use, but they are fine after 6 months. Maybe after a year, but if a comfy soft grip like this lasts a year of almost every day use for $8, it's worth it in my book. They will be difficult to remove and probably impossible to re-use.

Bottom Line:
I used a little dab of hair gel to lube the inside of each grip before sliding it on. It acts as a lube to get'em on, and then a glue to keep them from sliding around. These grips are everything you would want in a grip. We are talking about grips after all! They are gloves optional comfy, soft, shock absorbing, and grippy. I recomend them!
