ABSTRACT:
Stretchable protective garment material particularly useful in the fabrication of protective gloves for protecting the wearer against cuts, punctures, abrasions and the like. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the material is composed of a stretchable knitted blend of KEVLAR.RTM. and spandex fibers. The KEVLAR.RTM. fibers provide protection to the wearer against lacerations while the spandex fibers provides the material with elasticity such that the material is formfitting. In one aspect of the invention, the palm surfaces of glove constructed of the material are provided with an elastomeric coating, preferably a textile printing polyvinyl chloride plastisol coating, which is bonded thereto through a novel curing process. This coating provides the wearer with additional protection against injury from sharp objects, a non-slip grip, and a high level of tactile sensitivity.
