Lizard Skins

Founded in 1993, the company launched into the cycling industry with innovative accessories designed to protect the bike and the rider. The category eventually expanded to include gloves and grips, and by 2008, culminated in Lizard Skins’ most innovative grip and flagship product: Durasoft Polymer or DSP.
The polymer-based formula is a unique combination of excellent gripping properties and a softness that can only be appreciated by touch. The feel is unlike any other synthetic rubber.
The application of DSP technology for other sports became evident in 2012 when Lizard Skins successfully launched into the baseball industry with a new and innovative bat grip. The company's expertise with the hand-to-grip interface from cycling gave developers the edge to effectively respond to the needs of players in team sports. Soon the product made its way into the hands of many of MLB's top players and to date over 150+ MLB players actively use the product. The company’s endorsement line-up includes many of MLB's top names. 2016 culminated in a licensing agreement with MLB making Lizard Skins the Official Bat Grip of Major League Baseball and one of only 12 Authentic Collection brands.
Since 2018, Lizard Skins has replicated the baseball model in hockey and lacrosse creating similar licensing agreements with the NHL and MLL after positive reception at the professional level. Most recently Lizard Skins acquired 2 companies: Oury, a cult classic grip company with a passionate following, and Buck Athletics, a unique line of glove protection founded by former professional baseball player John Buck.
