Abstract
A protective hand pad fabricated from a sleeve of elastic fabric, and a preformed pad element. The sleeve is initially cut from an endless tube of the elastic fabric. A thumb hole is cut into the sleeve adjacent one end, and the preformed pad element is inserted into the sleeve so the desired outer surface of the pad element is visible through the thumb hole. The sleeve is then stitched to the opposite ends of the pad element along its end edges, as well as along its side edges, so that the pad element is joined to the sleeve but so that the sleeve remains open at both ends. The sewn together sleeve and pad is then turned inside out so that the desired outer surface of the pad element is exposed as an exterior surface of the protective hand pad. In use, a wearer inserts his hand into the sleeve so that the pad element is oriented above or on top of the back of the wearer's hand, and so that the wearer's thumb extends through the thumb hole in the sleeve.
