Abstract: A flexible and stretchable glove made of elastomeric material, the glove having palm, back, and sleeve elements with thumb and finger portions. A plurality of corrugations at high flex points substantially parallel to the direction of the axis of flexure reduce the stress on the hand induced by tension in the elastomeric material when stretched by the bending motions of the hand, thumb and fingers. This allows the hand to assume its natural curvature and partially compensate for flexing during use. The glove is preferably resistant and impermeable to chemical and biological products. The glove provides protection for the hands and may form part of a chemical and biological protective ensemble worn by armed forces personnel when working in hazardous chemical and biological environments.
