ABSTRACT:
A glove that includes a glove closure apparatus in the form of a closure channel that allows the glove to be more easily closed or compressed without requiring extensive breaking-in procedures. In one embodiment the glove includes one or more closure channels near the palm portion of the front side of the glove. The closure channels are U-shaped closure channels or gaps that allow the glove to be compressed significantly easier than if the material were otherwise in the channel area. A plurality of closure channels may be formed at specific locations on the front side of the glove to reduce the amount of force that is required to close and open the glove. In addition, the one or more closure channels may include a cover material to prevent debris from entering into an interior region of the glove.
