ABSTRACT:
A goalkeeper's glove with a glove body portion and glove fingers attached to and in communication with the body portion for enveloping a wearer's hand includes an open arch extension with attachment legs on at least one glove finger to protect the finger from jamming injuries and to extend the reach of the wearer. The arch of the extension creates an air gap between the extension tip and the tip of the finger that acts as a crumple zone in absorbing and dissipating the energy of the impact away from the fingertip to prevent a jamming injury. The arch construction ensures that the energy from the impact will be directed along the attachment legs along the length of the finger instead of the fingertip.
