1. A method comprising:
attaching a glove liner to a glove mold;
connecting a protective member to the glove liner and positioning the protective member distally from an interphalangeal joint line, wherein the protective member is harder than glove liner;
heating and stirring an aqueous polymeric emulsion;
foaming the aqueous polymeric emulsion;
dipping the glove liner and protective member into a tank containing the aqueous polymeric emulsion that has been heated, stirred, and foamed, wherein the protective member is fully submerged into the aqueous polymeric emulsion within the tank while dipping the glove liner and protective member;
removing the glove mold that carries the glove liner and protective member from the tank;
curing the aqueous polymeric emulsion on the glove liner above the protective member to result in a glove having a textured outer surface defining a grip surface above the protective member that is adapted to assist with grip ability for a boundary layer of oil or grease on the grip surface, wherein the protective member is harder than the cured aqueous polymeric emulsion defining the grip surface, wherein curing the aqueous polymeric emulsion on the glove liner above the protective member to result in the glove having the textured outer surface defining the grip surface above the protective member further comprises forming a shape in the textured outer surface having a configuration that opens outward and is located above the protective member;
wherein forming the shape in the textured outer surface having a configuration that opens outward and is located above the protective member further comprises:
forming an edge that defines a lateral ridge in the textured outer surface above the protective member, wherein the lateral ridge is aligned in direction that extends around a circumference of a finger sleeve on the glove.
