I really like the Sunline twisted waffle grip lately, before that I ran ODI Intense lock-ons for ages, I started getting weird blisters on the webbing between my index finger and thumb from the grip flange.
Weird I know and probably could be fixed by simply moving my hands more outside, but the Sunline grips solve the problem for me. My only complaint with them is the endcap seems to remove itself fairly easily if you catch it on a tree or what-have-you.
Used to use the ODI ruffian however those are hopeless if your grip gets wet for whatever reason.. Recently tried the Deity Lean grips. Bought a set for all my bikes. Nice and soft and still grippy in wet! Gloveless all the way.
Yeti ODI lock on's. The raised bits are nice & squishy & they seem to be very grippy indeed.
Rode my girlfriends bike in the Alps for a couple of runs with Ruffians on & they felt awful gloveless. No give at all & felt like they were tearing my hands to shreds.
Oury's felt nice too, but not too sure on the wet weather grip on them...
I don't ride gloveless, but as someone with XL hands I'm not sure why I've been running skinny Ruffians for so long. Thought it'd make sense to try a fatter grip, and loving the Rogues I have on now. At first I was a bit concerned, felt like I didn't have much control in the carpark test due to my fingers not being able to wrap as far around, but as soon as I got on the trail I loved it, feels a lot more "solid".
I run Odi Xtreme lock on's, there amazing gloveless, feels like your hands stick on the grip there so tacky. Seem to last quite long though and because they be grey not black you don't get dirty coal miner hands after a ride.

Really worn out sunlines are definitely my top pick. BMX grips will always begin to slip, and when they slip then you grip harder and then your arms hurt.
