Abstract
In accordance with the instant invention, material that is designed to absorb energy, shock, vibration and/or impact ('ESVI') is applied to a glove to protect the wearer from injury or fatigue due to same. The material features a spongy (but essentially non-porous), elastic polymer, and may be provided in relatively thin sheets or strips. The glove modified with the ESVI ameliorating material hardly changes flexibility. The ESVI material may be applied selectively to strategic areas on the glove covering or corresponding to regions on the hand of the wearer such as bone joints, e.g., the knuckles and the wrist.
