Abstract
A glove assembly including identically-configured first and second gloves which are pulled, one over the other, onto a person's hand. The first glove defines an interior cavity which receives the person's hand therein. When the second glove is pulled over the same hand that is covered by the first glove, the first glove is received within an interior cavity of the second glove. Gripping regions on the first and second gloves are complementary in configuration and are located so that when both gloves are pulled over the same hand, the gripping regions on the first and second gloves nest with one another. The glove assembly provides double protection to the person's hand and the nesting of the two gloves ensures tactile sensitivity and finger dexterity are maintained.
