Get a Grip

Edson’s ComfortGrip strips provide a firm grip on stainless steel handrails, like those found on steering pedestals, which in a nasty chop could mean the difference between staying on your feet and ending up bruised or on your hind end. Available in 8- or 12in lengths, the strips will work with any 1in or 1.25in-diameter railing and are secured with peel-and-stick 3M adhesive. Made with a high-performance Santoprene polymer, the grips are both carefully molded to make them that much easier to grab and satisfyingly good-looking as well. $26. Edson Marine, edsonmarine.com
