A wrist support device that includes a palm grip protection strap pivotably attached to a wrist support strap. The palm grip protection strap pivots between a first position in which it is generally perpendicular to the wrist support strap and provides palm protection and a second position in which it is generally parallel to the wrist support strap and out of the user's way. The device includes a fastening system for securing the palm grip protection strap in the second position.

An impact resistance sports glove consisting of a striking mass and a fabric or lecture covering for the redirection of a heavy sports ball. The glove features an exterior region for impacting a ball and for an interior palmer region adapted to receive a palm of the hand of the wearer. Further, the covering used flaps and bands that may incorporate straps, cords, buckles or tie downs to wrap around and secure a hand inside the glove.

A soccer goalie glove have a backhand portion, wherein the backhand portion comprises a first top view shape of four fingers and a top part of a palm and the backhand portion has a first maximum thickness of 2-4 mm and a palm portion, wherein the palm portion comprises a second top view shape of the four fingers, thumb, and the palm, and the palm portion has a second maximum thickness of one and a half times the first maximum thickness. Respective cross-sections of the backhand portion and palm portion comprise each of respective fingers of the fabricated shapes a semi-circle with flat edges comprising stitch regions towards both ends and the stitch regions are flat surfaces with stitching applied to attach the backhand portion to the palm portion at stitch lines.

A ball glove engineered with exposed edge stitching, as opposed to turned leather, whereby the front (palm) and back are joined with one another in the same orientation as they are die cut. The resulting mating of front and back without welting exposes the edge of the leather (or other material) constituting the ball glove with joint lines on the back of the finger(s). Without turning the ball glove, other improvements may be seen such as the use of painted edge, exotic material types, and hard embellishments.

The present invention provides a sports protection device (e.g. a shin pad) for protecting a portion of a wearer's body (e.g. their shin). The sports protection device comprises a lining layer for facing the wearer's body (shin) and an opposing composite layer superimposed on said lining layer. The composite layer comprises wood particles within a thermoplastic polymer matrix. The lining and composite layers are shaped to substantially match the contour of the portion of the wearer's body (shin). A moldable blank for forming a sports protection device is also provided.

A method comprises detecting, by one or more processors of a wearable device, a tag identifier of a tag located on exercise equipment. The method also comprises selecting, from a memory of the wearable device, an algorithm from a plurality of stored algorithms responsive to the algorithm having a stored association with the tag identifier and receiving, from a sensor of the wearable device, movement data of a user performing an exercise associated with the exercise equipment. The method may also comprise executing the selected algorithm using the received movement data as input and determining, when the user has completed one repetition of the exercise based on the execution of the selected algorithm using the received movement data. The method may also comprise transmitting a record comprising repetition movement data that was received during the one repetition to a remote computing device.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a protective sports glove having a novel combination of liner sections, breathable mesh sections, stretch joints, and shock absorbing cushions to provide maximum protection to the user's fingers, hands, wrists, and lower forearms while maintaining as much flexibility within the glove and tactile feel on both palmar and dorsal sides of the glove as possible. The pattern and construction employs strategically-placed stretch zones, strategic padding placement, and a variety of improved padding constructions all for more flex without compromising protection.

A method of protecting a participant user, participant player, players, referee, official, coach or spectator from skin contact with an exposed connector by isolating the connector of a sports glove, which includes a front palm portion having finger stalls for insertion of fingers therein, and a rear back joinable portion which is attachable to said front palm portion by a connector, such as a zipper. The method includes the step of removably covering the zipper connector with a friction fit fly cover having an attachment end and a free end, wherein further lifting of the free end of the fly cover exposes the zipper for participant user engagement therewith. The fly cover prevents any exposure of the metallic or plastic connector.

According to the various features characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including but limited to golf. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations or apertures, the present invention makes a glove more operable in various sports activities, including for those who play Golf using the conventional interlocking grip.
