some wrap for vamo?

[samwich]

is there anything out there that can be put on a vamo v5 to stop it slipping out of your hand??
i bought a vamo v5 for my dad and he loves it , its nice and chunky enough for his massive hands but he has artheritus (cant spell it lol) and cant always grip that well so a few times its just sliped out of his hand. any ideas or comments welcome x
p.s i did offer to super glue it to his hand but for some reason wasnt keen on the idea lol

J wraps and vapor skinz do them,not sure if enough texture in them to aid grip though. Will be available I'm sure-maybe sports suppliers?(racquet grips etc? Aesthetically challenging tho I expect:-)

elastic bands would work as a temp fix until someone steps in with a better idea.

What about stretching a piece of that dash top anti slip rubber mesh around it and sewing it up to stay there,unobtrusive and easily changed

Powder coat with sand added?

Double sided sticky tape, will do the job
If not, you might be able to get some sticky backed rubber (or something similar) from an art & craft shop. And put a couple of hoops of that on the battery tubes.
Or sticky backed felt

Wrap it round and cut out where ness.

Or you could maybe get him a vambrace from http://www.hengestandhorsa.com/ i bought one custom made for £40, would highly recommend them, i will be doing a review on them soon.
It is made from leather and they do designs to order.

Failing any specific solutions such as non slip wraps from Jwraps, then handlebar tape from a cycle shop should do the job...

@Tubbyengineer funny i was just looking at handle bar tape and non slip tape for stairs lol the jwraps are nice but dont think they gunna stop the slip.
