Sweat grip

Abstract

A sweat grip comprising a main body with a sweat-absorbent side and a grip side with a higher coefficient of friction than the sweat-absorbent side. The sweat grip can be wrapped around an object such as the handle of an exercise machine, such that the sweat grip can enhance a user's grip on the object and can at least partially absorb the user's sweat without transferring sweat to the object.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sweat grip, comprising:
 a main body comprising a flexible planar member having an absorbent side and a grip side; and   a fastener on said grip side that is configured to selectively secure said main body in a closed configuration when said fastener is affixed to said absorbent side, wherein said main body comprises an absorbent material on its absorbent side and a higher coefficient of friction on its grip side than on its absorbent side.   
     
     
         2 . The sweat grip of  claim 1 , wherein said main body comprises a first panel on said absorbent side and a second panel on said grip side, said first panel and said second panel being positioned back to back, and wherein said first panel comprises said absorbent material and said second panel comprises an anti-slip material. 
     
     
         3 . The sweat grip of  claim 2 , wherein said absorbent material is chamois leather and said anti-slip material is silicone. 
     
     
         4 . The sweat grip of  claim 2 , wherein said absorbent material is microfiber cloth and said anti-slip material is silicone. 
     
     
         5 . The sweat grip of  claim 2 , wherein said first panel and said second panel are coupled on their peripheral edges by a border extending around the peripheral edges of said main body. 
     
     
         6 . The sweat grip of  claim 1 , wherein said main body comprises liquid silicone applied to its grip side. 
     
     
         7 . The sweat grip of  claim 1 , wherein said main body comprises a plurality of strips of silicone coupled with said main body on said grip side. 
     
     
         8 . The sweat grip of  claim 1 , further comprising a corresponding fastener on said absorbent side that is configured to interact with said fastener on said grip side. 
     
     
         9 . The sweat grip of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a region of hook and loop fasteners.
