A sleeve or grip for use on a ball bat or other sporting-good implement includes a low-friction inner surface and a longitudinal slit that facilitates its positioning on, and removal from, a handle of the implement. The grip is rotatable about the handle so that a user's hand may move into an optimal position during a swing. The grip may be readily removable from the implement so that, after a swing, it stays with the user, as opposed to remaining on the implement. |

This disclosure describes a gripping glove with a gripping aid to increase the grip span of a user. In some implementations, the gripping aid may be composed of a crush resistant, flexible material and further include a crest or fulcrum to increase the speed, strength and/or torque of each swing of a tool (e.g., a baseball bat, sledge hammer, or the like). In some implementations, the gripping aid may also provide a reduction in vibrations and superficial hand traumas normally caused when the tool strikes an object. |

Disclosed is outerwear for sports played on ice. The outerwear having an outer shell and one or more gripper sections positioned on the outer shell. The one or more gripper sections being made from a material with a coefficient of kinetic friction on ice that is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction between the outer shell and ice. Raised portions, in the form of three-dimensional geometric shapes, can be positioned on or integrated with the gripper sections to provide additional gripping ability. In the event of a fall on the ice, the gripper sections will come into contact with the ice surface to slow the wearer down compared to if the user fell without the gripper sections. |

A pair of hockey gloves is asymmetrically constructed to accommodate for variances in material wearing during routine use. The pair includes a top hand hockey glove that is provided with a region of reinforcement that is not similarly provided in the bottom hand hockey glove. The top hand hockey glove includes an outer sheet and an inner sheet that are joined together so as to define a hand-receiving cavity. In one embodiment, the inner sheet includes a plurality of relatively rigid reinforcement pads that is secured to the exterior surface of a base layer in a designated pattern. The inclusion of the reinforcement pads causes the stick gripping region of the top hand hockey glove to have both a greater resistance to tearing as well as a higher coefficient of friction than the stick gripping region of the bottom hand hockey glove. |

A motorcycle grip pad comprises a base layer of elastomeric material having spaced bumps on a top surface. An adhesive layer is on a bottom surface. The area of the pad is between 1000 and 4000 mm2. A motorcycle grip system also includes a reaction patch of relatively rigid material having apertures spaced and arranged in the same way as the bumps on the pad. The patch is adapted for connection to a motorcycle rider's suit or other apparel. A wear pad for a motor cycle comprises a base sheet in the form of a flexible plastics sheet; an adhesive layer on the underside side of the flexible sheet; a release layer under the adhesive layer and protecting it during handling and storage; a top layer of soft, flexible elastomeric resin, which is poured onto the top surface prior to curing so that it spreads over the pad to its edges; and bumps of elastomeric material arranged on said base sheet prior to pouring of the polyurethane entrapping said bumps on said sheet, said bumps protruding above the level of said top layer. |
