Benefits of technology

The present invention is an athletic glove with a better grip for the wearer. It has a glove body with a palmar portion and digit sheaths for each finger. The finger sheaths have a fabric material and a friction-enhancing material with extensions that align with the digit sheaths. The friction-enhancing material also has an outcropping on the distal end of the finger sheaths. This invention improves the wearer's ability to grip and hold objects, especially during training or games.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the gripping assistance available to the wearer of these gloves is limited, as the tactile pad terminates in the palmar plane and does not extend around the sides of the digits of the glove.
