Abstract
A grip for a weapon is provided and can include a user engagement area including a first surface on the weapon, a first layer including an aerogel, the first layer disposed adjacent the first surface, and a first engagement member disposed over the first layer in the user engagement area. The first engagement member includes an exterior surface that engages an appendage of a user when the user holds the weapon. The first layer including the aerogel insulates the first engagement member so that thermal energy transfer between the user and the weapon is impaired. The weapon can be an archery bow, a firearm or any other weapon including a grip or portion that is engaged by an appendage of a user.
