I have tried a lot of different grips over the years, but have settled on Tour Velvet for the past few. These grips are tacky and "grippy" enough (even in really hot, humid or wet weather) that you don't really need a glove. They hold up pretty well for natural rubber. I had tried corded grips for summer and they don't feel as good as these, plus they are really hard on hands/gloves. It's hard to beat Tour Velvet for combination of price and grip-feel.
