Glove with Palm Pocket

Abstract

A glove with a palm pocket includes a body member having a palm-side portion and a dorsal side portion connected to the palm side portion that, together, define an interior area. The body member includes a thumb portion and four finger portions adjacent one another and extending outwardly, the thumb portion and the four finger portions having tubular configurations in communication with the interior area and defining terminal ends that are open, respectively. The glove includes a palm pocket member coupled to an exterior surface of the palm-side portion, the palm pocket member including a front panel having a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The palm pocket member includes a proximal end edge adjacent the thumb portion that is open such that the palm pocket member defines an interior pocket configured to receive an article.
