Rain grip sports and golf glove for dry handed play

Abstract

A glove for use in wet conditions which is a three dimensional glove construction having reduced seams and reduced seam junctions. The glove has surfaces including a suede leather or a synthetic suede leather outer layer and a waterproof breathable inner layer secured to the outer layer. The seams between the parts of the glove construction are covered by a waterproof seam sealer which creates a waterproof breathable glove which is not bulky and is three dimensional in pattern so that it fits the wearer's hand in active situations.

         1 . A glove for use in wet conditions, comprising: 
 a three dimensional glove construction having reduced seams, the glove having surfaces including a suede leather or a synthetic suede leather outer layer and a waterproof breathable inner layer secured to the outer layer;    the seams between the parts of the glove construction being covered by a waterproof seam sealer.    
     
     
         2 . The glove of  claim 1  wherein the three dimensional glove construction includes four pieces.

 Attaching a waterproof, breathable film to a surface of a suede leather or a synthetic suede leather so that the film will be the inner surface of the glove and the suede leather or synthetic suede leather will be the outer surface of the glove;    Cutting the leather and film into four pieces in accordance with a pattern which has only four seams;    Joining the four pieces along the four seams into a glove; and    Sealing the four seams.    
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the seams are joined by sewing.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the seams are joined by sewing with a stitch length of 13 stitches per inch or fewer.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7  wherein one of the four pieces is a circular thumb inset and it is sewn to one of the other pieces.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7  wherein two of the four pieces are the two central finger sheaths (for covering the central fingers except for the palm sides) and the method further includes joining and then inserting them with a “U” shaped seam on the back side of the glove.
