  • Patent number: 9913502
    Abstract: A glove base and glove are provided, which release moisture outside from the entire glove when the glove is configured only of a fiber glove base or when a coating is provided to a surface of the glove base. The glove base of the present invention is made of fibers and has a hand shape. Water-absorbing properties of a first fiber type exposed mainly to an inside surface of the glove base are higher than water-absorbing properties of a second fiber type exposed mainly to outside surface of the glove base. The first fiber type absorbs and moves moisture on a surface of a hand inside the glove base toward the second fiber type, and the second fiber type then moves the moisture from the first fiber type mainly in a surface direction of the glove base.
