They're flash. What are they like when they're seriously wet?

Probably rubbish

Good contrast on the take, all the red and reddish against the grey garage door.

I use foam bicycle handlebar tape on all my bikes.

Charlie Bravo - The rain question is legit. I have been thinking about using handlebar tape, but if it gets really slick in the rain, I'll leave this mod for Gone In 60.

Grip Puppies here: Quality seems to not change under profuse rain, freezing, daily beat down from all day sunshine UV, ... for a couple of years now.
In addition, Grip Puppies tames those higher resonance vibes when pushing the ol' CB1100 through its paces.

I use foam grip pappies by Misano, 2nd set and still have one spare.
Very happy with it.

Are they durable in all day rain and summer sunshine?

I had grip puppies, I forgot to put them on when I fitted the mirrors.
And I lock-tighted everything on and couldnt be stuffed taking them off again, which led me to the leather grips.
I liked the grip puppies as the fitted grips were a bit skinny for my liking, the leather wraps arent as thick as the grip puppies, a nice in-between.
Im heading off for a ride with a couple of mates in a minute, just changed the oil and gave it a wash, so I will see how the leather grips feel.
