Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm posting correctly but I'm posting to a reply about sweaty handle...
I had that problem too because I sweat alot. I use NewGrip rowing gloves too! They have been great! They also help with my carpal tunnel and they allow me to get just enough of a grip with my finger-tips without sliding off. I highly recommend them! I received a new pair of work-out gloves for Christmas and I tried to wear them out of curiosity but I honestly could not finish my work-out. Luckily, I had my NewGrip rowing gloves in my bag, I put them on and completed my work-out. Check them out!
You can see them in action at my website, see the "links" button.
Good luck!

Microfiber Wash Mitts
I use microfiber wash mitts turned inside-out with the back of the hand cut out - the knitted cuff acts like a sweatband and I can easily free my fingers to hit the TV remote, etc.
I get non-shaggy ones with a thumb similar to:

Re: Sweaty handles -- solutions?
Blisters usually form from the excess moisture and the handles rubbing against your hands. To prevent this I found that using deoderant (I like mens speed stick) and rubbing it on your hands absorbs the moisture and lubricates to stop blisters from forming. If you don't use too much, you will eventually have calluses that form too.
