As an alternative, if you want to go the cheap route, you can do this
easily at home with "scarps".  For the "bump", I used a piece of spare
bungie cord under my "wrap" and used electrical tape for the actual
wrap.  I didn't think the tape would hold once it got wet, but it did.
It's been there 2 years now.  To improve the grip, you can either use
some of the "rubber in a can" stuff that lots of folks use to coat tool
handles, or use some of the spray stuff used on steps and ramps to
reduce slipping.   I found the electrical tape to be sufficient, though.


It's not quite the same as the store bought stuff, but it works and the
price is right.
