Abstract: A protective glove includes a hybrid wrist guard with an integral cuff. The glove can include a hand portion, a cuff portion joined with the hand portion and defining a cuff opening, and a wrist guard joined with the hand portion, the wrist guard including an elongated band and a secondary wrist guard cuff extending rearward from the elongated band and covering the cuff opening. The wrist guard can include a wrist guard tertiary backhand panel extending forward from the elongated band and covering a dorsal opening defined by the backhand of the hand portion. The wrist guard provides enhanced flexibility to the glove, particularly during wrist extension, and can reduce the overall weight of the glove by combining different structural features in the wrist guard.
