Top grip is not as grippy as it used to be

Post by MT Pockets »

Hello,

The Top Grip on my jacket has seen better days. Is there a product I can apply that will improve its grip?

I think the best solution is to have a professional replace the worn rubber with new top grip. This won't be super cheap, as the rubber xan only be seen to the outer layer of the jacket. However, depending on the rulebook you shoot under, you may get away with just gluing smaller pieces of new top grip onto the old rubber. Use a good contact adhesive, and the repair should be quite durable.

Here in the UK most of the specialist target shooting shops sell it. If you're in the US, try the usual suppliers. Intershoot (www.intershoot.co.uk) will ship from Northern Ireland.
