Abstract
The invention is generally directed to a waterproof, breathable glove which is cut from a Lycra based synthetic leather formed by coating knitted Lycra fabric with a film of polyurethane. It is necessary that the Lycra base have controlled stretch in both length and width in order for the two piece construction to achieve the skin tight exact fit required by golfers. The stretch in width should be about 100% and in length about 75% which allows the two piece glove to conform exactly to a wearer's hand. The two cut pieces are joined together with one common seam either by laser bonding or heat bonding. The two pieces can also be joined by sewing but in that case it is necessary to seal the single seam which is less desirable but, still practical, unlike seam sealing an eight piece glove.
