Abstract:
A soccer goalkeeper glove having a wrist region, a palm face, and a thumb and fingers fitting the hand of a wearer, the glove comprising:a. flexible and substantially unstretchable longitudinal strands extending from the wrist region to and inclusive of a portion of the thumb and fingers; b. flexible and substantially unstretchable cross strands extending between and secured to tip regions of the thumb and fingers: c. the flexibility of the strands enabling the wearer's fingers to move apart and together and to substantially form a fist; and d. the longitudinal strands being secured to the glove so that tension resistant regions are formed on the palm face of the glove causing the longitudinal strands to resist bending the thumb or fingers of the wearer's hand back from a plane of the palm of the glove and such back bending resistance is enhanced by the cross strands.
