There’s a way to achieve both form
and function by adding a soft-touch,
thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grip.
But by adding
a TPE grip to an outdoor product, the perceived
value and selling price skyrockets.
Some TPE formulas produce a more
secure grip, or you can make use of a custom texture
for improved handling.
