Armored glove fingers

An armored glove finger comprising a tubular, seamless fabric element having an open end and an end closed with a seam, said tubular, seamless fabric element being adapted to receive a human finger therein through said open end with the tip of said finger substantially abutting said closed end and said seam disposed over the fingernail of said finger, said tubular, seamless fabric element comprising a first fiber of about 100 to about 650 denier, said first fiber comprising at least one yarn having a tensile strength in excess of about 120,000 psi;

• and a fabric reinforcement patch disposed proximate said closed end of said tubular, seamless fabric element on the interior of said tubular, seamless fabric element and fixed thereto so as to substantially cover at least the fingertip of a finger received within said tubular, seamless fabric element, said fabric reinforcement patch comprising a yarn having a tensile strength in excess of about 120,000 psi and of 650 denier;
• said tubular, seamless fabric element having said first fiber disposed in interlocked loops in two substantially perpendicular directions;
• said fabric reinforcement patch having said yarn of 650 denier being disposed in two interwoven substantially perpendicular directions;
• said two substantially perpendicular directions of said first fiber being disposed at an angle to said two substantially perpendicular directions said yarn of 650 denier.
