I've got big hands, and the stock grips on my new Specialized Epic Hardtail felt like pencils in my hands. These feel great! I'm loving this upgrade.

I like the ergonomics of the wrist rest; however, I find the grips themselves to be too narrow/small. Would feel more comfortable beefing that part up at least slightly.

These used to be my favorite when they offered them in a more narrow ""women's"" size. Unfortunately these are way too wide. When the outside of my hand is on the flair of the grip for the palm, I can't reach my shifters/levers. I can't even begin to express how seriously bummed I am about this. No, I don't want the women's contour grips. They're too soft, bulkier, no waffle grip. I'd recommend them if you have giant paws, but not if you wear size Small gloves.

I ordered these grips not knowing whether they would suit my needs, and I am SO glad I did. They are sticky and comfortable, and the colors work with my bike. Would buy them again for sure.

There are what I call ""small ergo grips"". The other style specialized sells (they look very similar) are not worth buying unless your grampa heading to the corner store. These ones offer serious grip and a racey feel. They do wear quickly though.
