Thanks in advance

Gel or foam grips are the way to go for comfort.

If you have hand "cramp" you may want to wrap some masking tape around your bars to make the grips "thicker" - I found this helps me, and gives a better feel to rubber grips, and seems to reduce "bar buzz" a bit too.

I'm kinda liking this option. Purely cause I'm a cheapa55 and you can sometimes pick these up for nothing at the local bottlee.

Or, have a BBQ and someone will leave some.

I have Oxford heated grips on all my bikes so am stuck with what they provide comfort wise. I go for thicker gloves to allow for better comfort levels. That's not so good in summer but I find the Oxford heated grips are pretty comfortable anyway.
