Edson has redesigned its ComfortGrips into adhesive strips, allowing them to be easily placed wherever a handhold requires cushioning and better grip. The kits come in 8-inch and 12-inch strips and have finger grooves. They are designed for use on railings between an inch and 1 1/4-inch in diameter, including on binnacles, grabrails, swim ladders and even tools. ComfortGrip kits $25-$29, www.edson.com
