Force resistant garment

Abstract

A force resistant garment provides a glove configured to at least partially cover a hand. The garment includes a force resistant material such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber. The garment also includes a body portion that at least partially covers a front side and a back side of the hand and wrist. In this manner, portions of the hand remain uncovered, while other portions of the hand that are prone to injuries while cutting, shearing, or applying other forces, remain protected by the garment. The garment includes a strength enhanced portion for providing additional resiliency against a force. The strength enhanced portion positions in proximity the fingers. The garment also includes non-strength enhanced portion for covering portions of the hand that require less protection, but still benefit from additional padding. The non-strength enhanced portion positions in proximity to a front side and a back side of the hand.

         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises at least one strength enhanced portion. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 8 , wherein said at least one strength enhanced portion is disposed to position in proximity to said at least one finger. 
     
     
         10 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises at least one non-strength enhanced portion. 
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein said at least one non-strength enhanced portion is disposed to position in proximity to said body portion. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a bottom thumb portion, said bottom thumb portion being configured to protect a bottom thumb from said force. 
     
     
         13 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a top thumb portion, said top thumb portion being configured to protect a top thumb from said force. 
     
     
         14 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a top thumb portion, said top thumb portion being configured to protect a top thumb from said force. 
     
     
         15 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a bottom finger portion, said bottom finger portion being configured to protect a bottom finger from said force. 
     
     
         16 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a top finger portion, said top finger portion being configured to protect a top finger from said force.
