What is claimed is:
1. An athletic glove comprising:
- a palm piece and a back piece joined together to fit a human hand, wherein said palm piece includes a palm face portion and finger stall portions and comprises a sheet of leather prepared by a chrome tanning process to facilitate reduced oil content and having moisture absorption properties so as to prevent perspiration buildup on the hand of a wearer thereby reducing slippage of the glove against the hand of a wearer, said sheet of leather having an average thickness of approximately 2.0 millimeters; and
- a substantially continuous layer of silicone sealant having an average thickness of approximately 0.4 millimeters and bonded to a substantial portion of said palm piece for imparting improved durability, comfort, gripping, tactile and flexibility properties to said palm piece and preventing the passage of moisture therethrough, said sealant only partially penetrating said palm piece so as not to come in contact with the hand of the wearer.
