Abstract: The invention relates to a protective glove comprising ergonomic features. The finger receiving portions of the glove of the present invention have at least two flexion zones that preferably correspond to the joints of the fingers thereby increasing the flexibility of the glove at that area and improving stick control. In another aspect, the glove has four finger sheaths that are adapted to receive the fingers of the player and that are bend toward the palm side of the glove, the bending of these finger receiving portions increasing from the index finger to the little finger. The protective glove of the invention is particularly useful for hockey players.
