A glove made mainly of woven fabric. The majority of the glove's surface area, which comprises the back of the glove (except the back of the fingers), the wrist, the part between the fingers, a part of the thumb and the sides of the hand, is of woven fabric, coated on its inner side with a layer of non-cellular plastic.

The palm, the front of the thumb and the sides of the fingers facing the palm as well as the 4 finger tips are of knitted fabric, coated on the outside with a non-cellular plastic.

The back of the fingers and the outside of the thumb is made of a cellular plastic combined with knitted textile fabric on both faces. There are pieces of rubber on the back of the fingers and thumb in the area of the knuckle and a thin blade of rubber along the outside of the index finger.

There is an elasticated band and a velcro-type tightening system at the wrist area and a drawstring tightening system at the end of the glove.
