There is provided a glove for protecting fingers of a wearer against impact from an object. The glove includes a plurality of finger portions for receiving the fingers of the wearer. Each finger portion defines a palm side and a dorsal side. At least one substantially rigid force transferring element is attached to at least one of the finger portions and extends at least partially between the palm side and dorsal side of such finger portion. The force transferring element is configured, upon receiving a compressive impact force from the object on the dorsal side of the finger portion, to at least partially transfer the compressive force past the wearer's fingers. A palm side edge of the force transferring element is operatively spaced away from the palm side of the finger portion when the glove is worn by the wearer.

A sport glove assembly for positioning a bat and for protecting a dominant hand of a player, the sport glove including a body including a thumb portion, a plurality of finger portions, a front surface, and a back surface. The front and back surface coupled along at least one edge defining a cavity, the front surface including a palm portion having a distal end and a proximal end. The thumb portion and the plurality of finger portions extending from the distal end of the palm portion. A webspace pad coupled to the body, the webspace pad including a plurality of sides, one side of the webspace pad positioned at the proximal end of the thumb portion, the webspace pad extends inward towards the palm portion from the proximal end of the thumb portion and at least one recess formed between the webspace pad and the front surface of the body.

An exercise device including an outer portion and an inner portion positioned within the outer portion. The inner and outer portions are attached together at a wrist portion in a fluid sealed manner to form a fluid tight cavity between the inner and outer portions. The inner and outer portions are be shaped and sized to provide at least one fluid flow channel or path extending from the wrist portion to a finger portion to allow fluid to flow from the wrist portion to the finger portion and back again, when a user is conducting reciprocating exercises and the fluid cavity is at least partially filled with fluid.

A protective garment includes a base layer formed from a flexible material. A grip layer is disposed on a first side of the base layer. The grip layer has an increased coefficient of friction compared to the base layer. A protective layer is disposed on a second side of the base layer. The protective layer includes a three-dimensional matrix that has a plurality of columns that extend in a first direction and a plurality of rows stacked on the plurality of columns that extend in a second direction. The plurality of rows and the plurality of columns define a plurality of voids.

A glove includes a glove body in a shape of a hand and having a palm side and a dorsal side opposite the palm side. A protective structure is located on the dorsal side. The protective structure includes multiple openings with thermoplastic boundary segments and surrounding thermoplastic main segments that provided for a two-stage impact configuration.

According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a combat sports glove comprising: an inner layer configured to accommodate a wearer's hand; an outer layer covering at least a part of the inner layer; a padding layer between the inner and outer layers, configured to absorb energy of an impact between the glove and an object; and a sliding interface between the inner layer and the outer layer at which the inner layer and the outer layer are configured to slide relative to each other in response to an impact between the glove and an object.

A vibration damping material suitable for use in a wearable garment, comprising a sheet of a flexible material with a first and a second side, both comprising a plurality of protrusions arranged in a predetermined pattern, wherein the protrusions on the first and/or second side of the sheet are arranged to be equidistant from adjacent protrusions, wherein the protrusions are distributed in a substantially uniform pattern throughout the first and/or second side of the sheet of flexible material, wherein the protrusions on the first side of the sheet are arranged to be offset with respect to the protrusions on the second side of the sheet of flexible material. A wearable garment comprising such a vibration damping material is also disclosed.

Embodiments of golf gloves having a cut out portion and methods to manufacture gloves having a cut out portion are generally described herein. Other embodiments of gloves may be described and claimed.

A protective guard for reducing injury to a shin of a person includes a conformable substrate and a plurality of core members disposed adjacent to a surface of the conformable substrate. The plurality of core members are arranged such that a first of the core members is rotationally movable about at least one axis relative to a second of the core members. A flexible fabric membrane comprised of natural or synthetic fibers is positioned adjacent to at least one of the conformable substrate and the plurality of core members.

According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a combat sports glove comprising: an inner layer configured to accommodate a wearer's hand; an outer layer covering at least a part of the inner layer; a padding layer between the inner and outer layers, configured to absorb energy of an impact between the glove and an object; and a sliding interface between the inner layer and the outer layer at which the inner layer and the outer layer are configured to slide relative to each other in response to an impact between the glove and an object.
