Claim:
A glove having finger covering parts, wherein a finger covering part corresponding to at least one finger selected from a third finger (middle finger), a fourth finger (ring finger), and a fifth finger (little finger) is configured by arranging protective members on anterior and posterior sides of the selected finger, and arranging stretchable members on both lateral sides of the selected finger, an inner perimeter of each finger covering part is substantially equal to an outer perimeter of the finger corresponding thereto, straining properties of the stretchable members on the lateral sides of the fingers are set so that regarding each finger a straining property on a first finger (thumb) side is higher than a straining property on the fifth finger (little finger) side, when the glove is bent from an opened state to a gripping state, the finger covering part is bent with a twist at a gripping angle toward the first finger (thumb) side, wherein the stretchable members and the protective members are joined by at least one selected from sewing and bonding, wherein in the junction between the stretchable members and the protective members, a difference between a length of a junction allowance on the first finger (thumb) side of the stretchable member and a length of a junction allowance of the protective member corresponding to the junction allowance is greater than a difference between a length of a junction allowance on the fifth finger (little finger) side of the stretchable member and a length of a junction allowance of the protective member corresponding to the junction allowance, and wherein one or a plurality of narrowed portions are formed in the junction allowances on the first finger (thumb) side of the protective member, or in the junction allowance on the first finger (thumb) side and the junction allowance on the fifth finger (little finger) side of the same so that the length of the junction allowance on the first finger (thumb) side is greater than the length of the junction allowance of the fifth finger (little finger) side.
