Disclosed is a base material for preparing a finger protection structure, including a main body and abutment blocks. Four corners of each abutment block form four corner cut portions, two corner cut portions of two adjacent abutment blocks together form two first gaps, and areas of the main body exposed to the first gaps are defined as elastic deformation areas. A finger protection structure is cut out of the main body along two elastic deformation areas and one second gap. The finger protection structure includes a base plate and the abutment blocks. Areas of the base plate exposed to the first gaps are defined as elastic deformation areas. When a stressed surface is impacted by a frontal impact force, the abutment blocks abut against each other and the base plate straightens. When the stressed surface is impacted by a lateral rotation force, the elastic deformation areas are elastically deformed.

Protective element or attachment to place on a glove finger, consisting in a resistant, hard piece with a half-round shape, closed at its end and open at the opposite end and partly on its lateral sides. Moreover, said element has its top part in the shape of an elongated semicircle connected to a half-ring. Additionally, the safety glove having at least one protective element located at the top dorsal part of one of the glove fingers is described.

A thumb brace comprising a glove having a thumb portion disposed between a palm side and a back side and comprising a first attachment region positioned adjacent a base of the thumb portion and a second attachment region positioned on the back side of the glove; a first elastic strap whereby the first strap extends a distal end of a thumb metacarpal bone of a user of the brace; a second elastic strap having a first end attached to the palm side of the glove and the second end releasably attached to the second attachment region, whereby the second strap reduces a proximal end of a thumb metacarpal bone of a user of the brace; and a pad attached to the glove such that the pad cushions a CMC joint of the user of the brace from impact.

A training glove, and methods of using the same are provided. The training glove includes a glove portion, wherein the glove portion includes a first protective portion disposed to cover at least a portion of the posterior of a user's hand when worn by the user. The training glove further includes a blocker portion, wherein the blocker portion is secured to the glove portion and includes a second protective portion disposed to cover a portion of a user's anterior forearm when worn by the user. The training glove further includes a retention system.

A weight training glove apparatus for improved grip securing weights includes a glove body having a dorsal side, a ventral side, a wrist portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and a plurality of finger portions. The wrist portion has a principal aperture extending through to a glove inside. Each of the plurality of finger portions has a fingertip aperture configured to expose a user's fingertip and the thumb portion has a thumb tip aperture configured to expose a user's thumb tip. A strap is coupled to the wrist portion and comprises a first mating member and a second mating member to selectively cinch the principal aperture and secure the wrist portion on the user's wrist. A grip panel is coupled to the ventral side of the wrist portion and extends towards the fingertip apertures. The grip panel is substantially flexible to be wrapped around a weight bar.

A glove that is adaptable to conform to hands of various sizes is presented. The glove includes one or more stretchable gussets and an edge panel that connect a back-side to a palm-side of the glove. A thenar panel on the palm-side is coupled to portions of the one or more gussets and to portions of the edge panel. The one or more gussets are also attached to a wrist panel that includes a closure element on the back-side of the glove. A finger panel on the back-side of the glove is coupled to portions of the one or more gussets and to portions of the edge panel. A palm section on the palm side and a back section on the back-side include one or more stretch materials that improve the fit of the glove.

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 batting glove (10) has a cover member (12) defining a central opening and a plurality of finger elements (20) including a forefinger element (24) and a thumb element (22). The batting glove (10) has a web member (14) generally positioned between the finger element (20) and the thumb element (22). The web member (14) minimizes force against a thenar region of a wearer's hand from a bat in response to hitting a ball with the bat.
