Exercise glove

Abstract

An exercise glove, comprising: a palm portion; a dorsal portion; a knuckles portion; and a fingers portion; wherein said palm portion comprises two layers configured to slide against one another with low friction, but engage with high friction the hand of a user and an item to be gripped. Additionally, the dorsal portion and the knuckles portion are connected at a first seam; wherein said first seam runs substantially along a back of a hand of a user; and caused the exercise glove to be secured to the hand.
