ABSTRACT:
A rappeller's glove, that is adapted to be used as a pair on both hands of a person who is rappelling. The rappeller's glove is made up of a portion of film form material that covers the user's palm; digit portions extending outwardly from the palm portion, and preferably extending only partially up the digits that they are intended to cover, that are made up at least partially of film form material; a plurality of effectively discrete padded areas disposed on said palm portion; and a protective film overlay disposed over said discrete transverse padding areas adhered by stitching or otherwise to the palm portion to thereby define the plurality of padded areas, and covering an area including the place where the fingers and the main body portion of the user's hand are joined. Means to hold the glove tight against the wearer's wrist are disposed at the base of the glove. A composite of a rappeller's glove overlying a shooter's glove is also disclosed. The shooter's glove is made up of a palm covering portion with a padded heal area; material extending from the palm covering portion sufficient to cover at least a portion of the fingers of the user and elastic means adapted to hold the glove close to the hand. At least one cut ring is disposed about at least one digit portion of the shooter's glove so that the tip of a digit portion can be uncovered without the remainder of the textile fabric material making up the glove unraveling. This allows the wearer of the composite glove to enable the end joint of the covered digit to easily articulate and to provide for direct contact with a weapon or other firing mechanism that enables increased sensitivity for safe and effective operation.
