Abstract
An athletic glove is disclosed having a high-grip surface on the palm side of the glove. The high-grip surface is formed from a panel of high-adherence material and comprises an embossed pattern that is configured to provide a high-grip surface while maintaining high tactile feedback or 'feel' of the item being grasped, while maintaining maximum flexibility in the hand so as to not impede the wearer's ability to conform their hand to the intended shape when varying their grip on the item being grasped. The high-grip or high-adherence surface is formed of a high friction flexible polymer, such as silicone. To further aid in providing a high-grip configuration that maintains maximum tactile feedback and flexibility for the wearer, the embossed pattern provided on the palm side of the glove employs separate, thin (preferably about 0.35 mm in thickness) pads that are separated from one another by a small distance to maximize flexibility of the high-grip surface and to provide moisture flow channels along the palm surface of the glove. The top side of the glove (i.e., the side opposite the palm) is preferably formed of a stretchable fabric for comfort of the wearer.
