Abstract

The present invention provides a protective sports glove worn. The glove may be used by athletes during training or in a combative event requiring striking to protect against injury and increase performance, including, but not limited to, total force transference, grip strength, striking force and speed, muscular endurance, time to contraction, etc. These gloves have an adjustable dual strapping wrist tie system to secure the gloves to the contour of the hands and ensure they remain tight and fixed. The dual strapping system seeks to provide increased wrist and hand rigidity that mirrors a tightness of hand wrap bandages for maximal bone and tendon support of the hands and wrists. This system increases the transfer of force to the point of impact.
