Abstract: An impact resistance test method of a glove having a protective material includes applying an impact force, with an impactor, to the glove at a plurality of locations on a section of the glove, measuring, with a load cell, a transferred impact force transferred through the section of the glove, and determining an impact resistance of the glove based on the measured transferred impact force. The impactor has a predetermined weight and is dropped from a predetermined height to apply the impact force to the section of the glove. An apparatus for carrying out the test method is also provided.

Abstract: A glove for use with capacitive touch screen devices features a main body portion, a finger portion and a thumb portion. At least the finger portion of the glove is constructed from a conductive and cut resistant yarn. The conductive and cut resistant yarn preferably includes a core that includes a cut resistant fiber and a sheath that include a conductive fiber.

Abstract: An impact resistant article includes a base portion with an impact pad attached to the base portion. The impact pad includes a padding material and a fabric laminated to the padding material. The padding material features fold lines generally corresponding to a wearer's natural bending locations when the impact pad is secured to the base portion.

Abstract: A cut resistant yarn includes a core-spun core. A first layer includes a first filament made of a cut resistant material. The first layer is wrapped around the core-spun core in a first direction, A second layer including a second filament is wrapped around the first layer in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.
