ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, tear resistant sporting mitt for use on or adjacent to beaches and water. The mitt is water repellant and is unaffected by sand, while having sufficient structural strength to withstand heavy use with hard balls such as artificial baseballs. The mitt is formed from substantially congruent alternating planar layers of abuse resistant plastic coated canvas and resilient compressible porous or foam material (two outer layers of canvas, two layers of resilient compressible porous and a central canvas layer. The layers are peripherally sewn to each other, with an opening remaining, at the base of the mitt for hand insertion between resilient compressible porous layers. A hinge line for a ball catching pocket extends from the hand insertion opening to a webbing enclosed cut out section. A canvas webbing segment having a shape and size similar to the cut-out section is positioned in the cut-out area and is peripherally sewn to the edges of the cut-out section, while lateral segments of the mitt are hinged, towards each other, whereby a ball catching pocket is formed.
