An inner-outer non-skid sleeve worn on a hand or foot, including a front sleeve portion and a rear sleeve portion coupled together. Inner surfaces of the front sleeve portion and the rear sleeve portion have an inner non-skid layer so as to be partially covered with the inner non-skid layer but partially exposed. The inner non-skid layer has a predetermined thickness and thus protrudes from the inner surfaces of the sleeve body. Outer surfaces of the front sleeve portion and the rear sleeve portion have an outer non-skid layer so as to be partially covered with the outer non-skid layer but partially exposed. The outer non-skid layer is in contact with an external object or the ground. The outer non-skid layer has a predetermined thickness and thus protrudes from the outer surface of the sleeve body.

Hand-receiving devices, such as gloves (e.g., sports gloves including baseball gloves, softball gloves, batting gloves, cricket gloves, golf gloves, America football gloves, weightlifting gloves, exercise gloves, goalkeeper gloves (e.g., for soccer, hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, etc.), and the like) include an inflatable component, such as a fluid-filled bladder component. The fluid-filled bladder component may be structured and arranged within a glove base member to engage two or more digits of a wearer's hand (e.g., two or more of the thumb and/or fingers on one hand). Inflation of the bladder component may displace one or more layers of the glove base member (e.g., fabric layers) to adjust fit, help properly position the wearer's fingers and/or hand within the glove, help maintain the position of the wearer's fingers and/or hand within the glove and/or provide cushioning. Features of this technology also may be used to control stiffness and/or rigidity of the glove.

A football player's hand-covering that stop a player's fingers from grabbing a football or another player during play and solves the problem of being penalized in a football game for holding and/or pass interference. The football training gloves each include a base glove having a plurality of elongated finger and thumb compartments, a top surfacing, and a bottom surfacing and a planar mitt disposed on the bottom surfacing of the base glove. The football player's hand-covering is made of carbon black materials and is made via a 3D printing process.

A hand brace to improving a golfer's short game is disclosed. The brace comprises a shell, a first guard and a second guard. The shell is flexible and configured to cover at least a back portion of the golfer's dominant hand, top of the wrist and lower forearm. The first guard is physically associated with the shell extending along the back of the golfer's dominant hand from and between proximately the second knuckles of the index and ring fingers, over the top of the dominant wrist and lower forearm. The first guard substantially restricts maximum extension of the golfer's dominant wrist to less than approximately 20 degrees. The second guard is physically associated with the shell extending along the back of the golfer's thumb from the nailbed to the first knuckle to substantially restrict radial deviation of the golfer's dominant wrist to less than approximately 10 degrees.

A releasable gripping glove is provided having one or more flexible artificial tendons extending through a finger section of a glove body. The flexible artificial tendon is configured to maintain a structurally articulated configuration when the finger section is articulated. Each tendon includes locking teeth that engages with a releasable locking tab extending form a locking mechanism configured to engage the locking teeth when the finger section is articulated. A release mechanism is provided to engage and disengage the locking mechanism. A thumb release rod is positioned within a thumb portion and connected to the release mechanism. The articulating of the finger section releasably locks the flexible artificial tendon in the articulated position, which is releasable through relaxing of the thumb portion.

A golf glove 10 comprising a glove portion 11 configured to conform generally to the anatomy of the hand and a support layer 12 configured to protect at least portions of the wrist and/or hand from forces exerted thereon during a golf swing. The support layer is sized, dimensioned and located to protect the Carpal Tunnel, Guyon's Canal, Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendon, Triangular Fibrocartilage, Palmar Aponeurosis, and the Hamate Bone.

A fighting glove includes a first padding section and a second padding section disposed in a dorsal side of a user's hand, and a strapping section configured to secure the glove to the user's hand. The first padding section includes multiple impact absorption layers, multiple slip layers, and a contour layer, which are each partially bonded to each other. In particular, the hand regions of the layers are securely attached to each other, and the hand body regions of the layers are not attached to each other such that the hand body regions of the layers are free to move independently from each other. Further, the fighting glove includes an exterior layer formed by a single fabric material in each of the inner side and the outer side of the exterior layer to mitigate the glove from forming protrusions or rough features on the exterior layer of the glove.
