Abstract
Athletic gloves, such as a goalkeeper's glove include a distal dorsal portion. The distal dorsal portion includes a multi-layer construction, such as a three-layer construction, including a textile layer, which sits next or at least closer to a wearer's skin, a medial layer, which may be made of foam, such as a polymeric foam composition, and an outer knit textile layer. The outer knit textile layer may include a first yarn having a first core yarn and a first polymeric composition coating. The knit textile layer is thermoformed in an example to form a high-grip portion on the distal dorsal portion of the athletic glove. The medial layer may include ridges on an exterior surface of the medial layer. These ridges may further be visible on an external surface of the distal dorsal portion of the glove.
