Abstract
A protective sports glove comprises a body and a cuff. The body has a palm portion, typically four fingers, a thumb, and a back portion. The glove is preferably suitably padded to offer the player an adequate level of protection from impact type injuries during game play. One or more attachable protectors are selectively attachable to the glove. The arrangement of the attachable protector on the glove can be customized by the user. As such, the padding characteristics of the glove and attachable protector can be customized by selectively attaching the attachable protector as desired.
