Alan, I haven't found any better for me in damp weather than the new Karakal X-Weather Black, the one with the white perforations at the bottom of Karakal's web page http://www.karakalgolfgrips.com/x_weather.cfm?new_title=X-Tack%20Grips It's firmer than the Classic Winn and has a kind of a non-slick wrap with imbedded fibers. It's not expensive either at a little more than half the price of a Winn. Notice that Karakal no longer has tape around the bottom of the wrap and underlisting. Quality of wrap fit on underlisting isn't as good as Winn, but they seem to hold up much better for me than Winns so far. (Haven't had them on very long, since they were new this last Fall.) Note that if you remove the grip from a club with a blade grip remover, solvent seems to slightly loosen the wrap at the very top a tiny bit, but not as much as it can on a Winn at the bottom.
