Abstract
A self-closing wrist closure system and an athletic glove using the closure system. The closure system comprises an elastic member contained within a casing and anchored at first and second anchor points within the casing and extending between the two anchor points. The casing defines a slit along the wrist circumference side extending into the glove body to enable expansion of the wrist opening. The wrist closure system is adapted to enable a wearer's hand to enter the glove by stretching of the elastic member and spreading of the slit and then to cinch around the wearer's hand by recovery of the elastic member and narrowing of the slit.
