I have used these on the Camino and Francigena in heat and the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way in rain.
The grips performed well in both cases. There was no slipping at all. The grips remained easy to hold and stayed put in the hand when required.
I have not experienced anything rubbing off from them onto my palms (or sun gloves).
The light weight is a great advantage on long walks. They are very strong in compression. (BD warn that they are not so strong in a sideways force. )
They fold down quickly and are deployed simply by pulling the top section out of the grip.
Changing the tips requires pliers but I got over 1,500 km out of my last pair of rubber tips. The benefit is that the tips cannot come off by accident as happens with the chairleg type of tip on cheaper sticks.
