The invention is the situation of control enhancement on articles worn by or covering a user. Control enhancement is comprised of friction or grip enhancing materials, shapes, coatings or surfaces situated on articles worn on or covering the arms, legs, head, feet, body and some articles warn on the hands of users to improve the ability of users to grasp, carry, control, influence and deflect objects such as balls, tools, weapons and equipment and to improve the user's control over the user's orientation, position and overall situation. Articles worn by or covering a user (e.g. garments, gear, uniforms, equipment, devices, sleeves, bands, pants, suits, pads) can make it difficult to maintain control of objects or for users to maintain control over their circumstances (e.g. slipping down a smooth surface). Control enhancements situated optimally as a plurality, especially in opposing locations, aid the user and may be purposefully arranged to enhance the utility and appearance of an article worn by or covering a user.
