Claims4
An unsupported elastomeric glove with an inside layer comprising:
- a non-foamed elastomeric layer;
- and
- a foamed elastomeric layer, wherein the foamed elastomeric layer was formed from a dipped layer of latex foam with an exterior surface that was contacted with water soluble particles that act to gel the latex foam, wherein said contacting increases the sweat absorption of the foamed latex layer over what would have applied absent the contacting, and wherein the elastomeric glove is packaged so that the foamed elastomeric layer is configured as the inside layer.
