What is claimed is: 1. A touch fastener, comprising: a sheet form base having an upper face and a lower face; a plurality of male fastener elements, each fastener element having a stem molded integrally with and extending from the upper face of the sheet form base; and a foam positioned adjacent to the upper face of the sheet form base, the foam extending longitudinally beyond the sheet form base and to a height greater than the height of at least some of the male fastener elements, and completely covering those fastener elements, wherein a portion of the foam is disposed between at least some of the fastener elements and wherein the fastener elements that are completely covered with foam are exposed for engagement when the foam is compressed. 2. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam is disposed between substantially all of the fastener elements. 3. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam covers substantially the entire upper face of the sheet form base. 4. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam is attached to the upper face of the sheet form base. 5. The touch fastener if claim 1, wherein the foam is embedded in the upper face of the sheet form base. 6. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam is an open cell foam. 7. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements are arranged in longitudinally extending tracts. 8. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements have a height of less than about 0.05 inch (1.37 millimeters). 9. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements have a height of between about 0.005 and 0.05 inch (0.127 and 1.27 millimeters). 10. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements are arranged in an array uniformly covering substantially the entire upper face of the sheet form base. 11. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements are arranged with a density of at least about 100 fastener elements per square inch (15.5 hooks per centimeter). 12. The touch fastener of claim 11, wherein the fastener elements are arranged with a density of at least about 1000 fastener elements per square inch (155 hooks per centimeter). 13. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements comprise hooks. 14. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements are mushroom shaped. 15. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the fastener elements are palm tree shaped. 16. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam comprises PVC. 17. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam comprises PU. 18. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the foam is coated with metallic particles. 19. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the lower face of the sheet-form base is coated with metallic particles. 20. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the male fastener elements are embedded with metallic particles. 21. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein the lower face of the sheet form base carries an adhesive material. 22. The touch fastener of claim 1, wherein a non-woven fabric is mounted on the lower face of the sheet-form base. 23. A touch fastener comprising; a sheet form base having an upper face and a lower face; a loam positioned adjacent to the upper face of the sheet form base and extending longitudinally beyond the sheet form base; and an array of male fastener elements, each fastener element having a stem molded integrally with and extending from the upper face of the sheet form base, wherein a portion of the foam is disposed between at least some of the fastener elements, wherein the foam extends around the array of fastener elements, the foam extending around the array of fastener elements being of a first height greater than the height of the fastener elements, and wherein the foam is compressible to a second height that is less than the height of the fastener elements, wherein the height of the foam disposed between the fastener elements is greater than the height of the fastener elements, covering those fastener elements, and wherein the fastener elements that are completely covered with foam are exposed for engagement when the foam is compressed. 24. The touch fastener of claim 23, wherein the foam is disposed between substantially all of the fastener elements. 25. The touch fastener of claim 23, wherein the foam covers substantially the entire upper face of the sheet form base. 26. The touch fastener of claim 23 further comprising an adhesive on the lower face of the sheet form base.
