| Abstract: |
A glove with a front portion and a back portion coupled to the front portion. The back portion includes an exoskeleton layer. The exoskeleton layer is formed of elastic material and the glove may be configured to allow the user's hand to be visible through the exoskeleton layer. Alternatively, the back portion can include the exoskeleton and another layer of material disposed between the exoskeleton layer and the front portion. The additional layer of material can be formed substantially elastic material or of a combination of substantially elastic material and substantially inelastic material.
