ABSTRACT:
A glove which addresses the grip ability and injury protection of freight handlers in the course of they daily work needs of lifting and moving articles, composed of a glove body having the following features: a plurality of generally distributed ventilation holes; soft elastomeric grip strips at the palm; and a tough, flexible and semi-rigid contact beading at the palm. The ventilation holes ensure that a hard working person's hand does not overly perspire within the glove body. The grip strips, preferably a neoprene, provide excellent grippage with articles. And, the contact beading, preferably an epoxy, provides excellent cut and abrasion protection, wherein a "crisscross" pattern thereof is preferred. At the palm side of the receptacle tips, a grip pad, preferably a neoprene, is provided. The base of the receptacle tips may be slit, whereby each receptacle tip is bendable back over the respective finger tips and thumb tip of the wearer to thereby selectively expose the respective finger tips and thumb tip. In this regard, a releasable fastener, such as for example a flexible hook and loop fastener, holds the receptacle tip in the bent over state. Optionally, the finger/thumb receptacles may be truncated.
