Abstract: A sports activity glove is formed from a flat sheet of material, such as leather, cloth, or synthetic material, and has a wear-resistant outer side and an inner side which contacts the palm of the wearer. The glove contains a thumb hole, and the user inserts a thumb into the thumb hole and wraps the glove about the hand, fastening it at the back of the hand by means of a hook and loop fastener. The inner side of the glove is coated with a pressure-sensitive, heat activating adhesive, which sticks to the hand and prevents the glove from slipping when in use. The adhesive is hypoallergenic to avoid irritating the hand of the wearer. The glove may be put on and taken off repeatedly without reducing the efficacy of the adhesive.
