The laminate has a base layer of cushioning, non-absorbent closed-cell foam having an outer layer of washable, grip-enhancing, random and open-cell foam laminated to one side and having a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to the other side. The laminate may be formed as a sheet or a tube. A sheet of laminate may be cut to conform to the contours of the handle and then wrapped about the handle with the edges either overlapping or abutting. A tube of laminate may also be formed to fit the contours of the handle.
