| Abstract: |
A glove includes webs connecting adjacent phalange-covering sections together. Each web includes an elongated flow hole, and a rib intersecting that flow hole. Fins are on the glove are located to be on the back of the wearer's hand when the glove is in position on that hand. The fins guide movement of the hand through a fluid, such as water. A closure is located on a wrist-covering portion of the glove and includes a hook-and-loop fastener that covers either a buckle or a zipper. The buckle or the zipper serves to close the glove snugly about the wearer's wrist. The glove is formed of an inner layer of material that is comfortable for the user, and an outer layer.
