I have those hoods on a set of Campy levers. They fit well and are well made.

I just saw those on their social media. I want a set, but I'm actually more interested in their Campagnolo derailleur pulleys, since most of mine have cracked. Anybody try them?

agreed.
the "downside", if you care about such things, is that the gum hoods are rather translucent, so you can see bar tape, lever base, etc through them.

These hoods also fit Suntour Superbe non-aero levers quite well.

These $15 ones actually look like those from Soma:

For a keeper bike with Campy, I would use cracked originals or look for a donor derailleur.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
I put a pair of these on Universal 125 levers that looked more like Campy levers than Uni. They worked OK, but some might not like the translucence.

I can confirm that they work well with older Superbe levers and Modolo (Speedy) levers.
