I haven't found any significant impact on the effectiveness of the grip heaters as a result of using the beemerbuddies.

My heated grips seem to work fine with the GrabOn covers. I've rarely use higher than the lower setting.

As for water absorption, they appear to be closed-cell foam. So, they aren't a sponge.
