Abstract
A protective glove, such as a firefighter's glove has a back, a front defining a palm, a thumb, and four fingers. An outer shell of the protective glove comprises an expanse of a radiant reflective material, such as an aluminized fabric, and an expanse of a material defining a gripping surface, such as a sueded leather. The expanses are configured and are sewn together so that the radiant reflective material covers the back of the glove and covers the back, side, and end surfaces of the thumb and four fingers of the glove and so that the material defining the gripping surface covers the palm and the front surfaces of the thumb and four fingers. A separate piece of the radiant reflective material is sewn to the expanses so as to overlap a tip portion of the material defining the gripping surface, on the front of the thumb, at the tip of the thumb. A separate piece of the radiant reflective material is sewn to the expanses so as to overlap cover a tip portion of the material defining the gripping surface, on the front of each finger, at the tip of said finger.
