Abstract: A protective glove includes an inner liner having a soft pliable material configured to cover a front side and a back side of a user's hand. A protective layer is attached to an exterior surface of the inner liner and disposed over at least the front side of the user's hand. The protective layer includes a wire mesh panel that is configured to protect the user's hand from cuts, abrasions, and punctures and that has an edge portion with a plurality of wire ends. An edge protector is disposed over the edge portion of the wire mesh panel and substantially conceals the wire ends to prevent the edge portion from fraying and the plurality of wire ends from piercing the inner liner. An outer layer is attached to the exterior surface of the inner liner and is disposed over the protective layer.

Abstract: A protective glove including a knit fabric hand shell having a cuff portion and a hand portion that includes a back side opposite a palm side for covering opposing sides of a user's hand. A polymeric coating covers the palm side of the hand portion and has a thickness that gradually diminishes from the palm side to the back side of the hand portion. The back side of the hand portion has an area that is free of the polymeric coating to provide ventilation to the user's hand through the knit fabric hand shell. A plurality of perforations is uniformly dispersed over the palm side of the hand portion. The perforations have a diameter less than 0.2 mm and extend though the polymeric coating to provide ventilation to the user's hand and to increase a coefficient of friction for an exterior surface of the polymeric coating.
