For those of you who ride gloveless, what is your grip choice?
Bare hands & grips

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.
I run gloveless every now and then. I like to switch it up.
I have been running the sunline half waffle for both gloved and gloveless riding this season and they work great. Plus they are only 90g.

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".
Just cos your a kiwi Damo, doesn't mean you have to run gloveless.
In fact it's gonna be funny at nats, when all those gloveless racers HAVE to wear gloves
Go get some ESI foam grips, or a mushroom style if you sweat lots

Its all about the ODI Rogues!!!!
I ride season skaggle grips on my FR rig. They're the ribbed-bmx-slide-on kind and are very comfortable but do slip on occasion.
Ruffians were great too

Primo Strickers are by far the best grips on the face of the earth...
These are like pillows for your hands. I run them on every bike I own, and very rarely rock gloves. Hands down the best grips I've used to date.

Peaty grips all the way!
I have 17 pairs of the Yeti ODI grip that have been sitting in my garage for a while. I've trimmed the logos down and will try them out today in Pila.
I'll let you know...

Have fun in Pila. I am coming over to Morzine today.
Oh, I almost forgot, I run the Ruffians or a cut down ODI Scott logo grip.
