A sports finger cot comprising:
- a body adapted to fit around a digital segment of a human hand, wherein said body is adapted to overlay at least one phalanx of the digital segment without overlying another digital segment of the human hand, wherein the body comprises:
- a palmar portion;
- a dorsal portion;
- a distal end, wherein said distal end is closed;
- a proximal end comprising an opening adapted to receive said digital segment, wherein said body longitudinally extends from said distal end to said proximal end;
- a distal portion adapted to overlay a distal phalanx of the digital segment, wherein the distal portion comprises:
- the distal end;
- a shock-absorbing member positioned along a dorsal surface of the distal portion;
- wherein said shock-absorbing member is adapted to not extend onto the sports finger cot palmar surface palmar portion;
- and,
- wherein said body comprises a middle portion adapted to overlay a middle phalanx of the digital segment, and wherein the middle portion comprises:
- a shock-absorbing member positioned along a dorsal surface of the middle portion;
- wherein said shock-absorbing member is adapted to not extend onto the sports finger cot palmar surface palmar portion;
- and,
- wherein said body comprises a proximal portion adapted to overlay a proximal phalanx of the digital segment,
- wherein the middle portion longitudinally extends between the distal portion and the proximal portion, and wherein the proximal portion comprises:
- the proximal end;
- and,
- wherein said sports finger cot proximal end further comprises a strap and a hook and loop fastening interface;
- wherein said hook and loop fastening interface is adapted to engage said strap to secure the sports finger cot on a digital segment of the user's hand when the sports finger cot is worn.
