Abstract
A glove with a support system is disclosed. The support system comprises a number of individual support sections, each of which is comprised of a number of arcuate support segments that encircle or surround a portion of a finger and allow forward flextural movement while helping to protect the finger. For example, the support system can help reduce hyperextension of the finger, the possibility of the finger jamming, and help to protect the finger from lateral or side impacts.
