Abstract (en)
A glove includes webs (50) connecting adjacent phalange-covering sections (16) together. Each web (50) includes a groove (53) for increasing the flexibility of the webs (50) whereby a user can close his or her hand into a grasping fist and the webs (50) will bow outwardly to permit this movement. Fins (40) are on the glove are located to be on the back of the wearer's hand when the glove is in position on that hand. Each of the fins (40) is formed of one or more materials and can be formed of one or more sections and operate to guide movement of the hand through a fluid, such as water. A closure (20) is located on a wrist-covering portion of the glove and secures the glove snugly about the wearer's wrist. The glove includes ribs (72) on the palm side thereof, and the ribs can be multi-sectioned and/or formed of several different materials to increase the flexibility of the glove. <IMAGE>
