1/2 the collars = twice as cool

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Been rocking other "normal" lizard skins grips for years with the clamping collar on both ends. Having the collar only inside and just nice soft rubber all the way out to the edge on these is nice! More comfort and room for your hands, less carnage in the parking lot when you zing your car door. And what you can't see on here is that instead of an open ended grip and a plastic plug, the whole end of the grip is finished and sealed off around the handlebar. Not only is that quite a bit safer for the rare impaling incidents, but I think it looks way better. All very nitpicky things... but if you need a fresh set of grips or are building up a new bike these are a very cool option. The thickness is medium I would say. I used to rock the Moab grips from Lizard skins, and these are slightly chunkier but still don't feel too thick to me.
