Abstract
A glove including a plurality of tucks formed in the fingers, thumb and in the back portion. The tucks positioned on the fingers and thumb are formed in the fourchette of each finger and thumb on both sides of a wearer's knuckles. The tucks formed in the back portion of the glove are located at the peripheral edge of back portion, on both sides of a wearer's hand. The tucks operate to shape the glove to the natural position of a wearer's hand. The tucks also provide for a pre-formed bending crease in the fourchettes to increase flexibility and reduce hand and finger fatigue of a wearer. The fourchettes and the back portion of the glove are formed of an aluminized radiant reflective material to protect a wearer from elevated temperatures.
