    Abstract: An Athletic Glove with an Enhanced Grip and Range of Motion provides for improved play in cold weather conditions. The glove may be comprised of a primary layer of flexible material with a low coefficient of friction and low adhesive properties, and tactile layers with a high coefficient of friction or high adhesive property layer on the front portions of the throwing fingers, whereby an athlete may achieve a natural tactile feel while wearing the glove. For example, a baseball glove may include high coefficient of friction material on the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers while the palm and remaining digits are of a low coefficient of friction material. A baseball glove may additionally include high coefficient of friction material on the inner side of the ring finger where the ring finger contacts the baseball. The athletic glove may also include striations or furrows in the high coefficient of friction areas to improve tactile feel in wet playing conditions.
