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.
