Protective articles made of a composite fabric

A protective glove made of a composite fabric and continuously knit on a conventional glove knitting machine, said glove comprising

• a primary region defining one or more finger stall lower portions, a first palm portion and the wrist cuff of said glove, said primary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing cut resistance and superior comfort relative to the remainder of said glove;
• and
• a secondary region defining the thumb stall and a second palm portion of said glove, said secondary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing superior cut resistance relative to the cut resistance of said primary region.

• a primary region defining at least the lower portion of the ring finger stall, the lower portion of the little finger stall and the palm of said glove, said primary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing abrasion resistance and for providing superior flexibility relative to the remainder of said glove, and
• a secondary region defining at least the thumb stall, the index finger stall and the middle finger stall of said glove, said secondary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing superior abrasion resistance relative to the abrasion resistance of said primary region.

A protective glove made of a composite fabric and continuously knit on a conventional glove knitting machine, said glove comprising

• a primary region defining the thumb stall, the finger stalls and a lower portion of the palm of said glove, said primary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing cut resistance and abrasion resistance and for providing superior tactile sensitivity relative to the remainder of said glove;
• and
• a secondary region defining the upper portion of the palm of said glove extending between the lower portion of the palm of said glove and the finger stalls of said glove, said secondary region made of a fabric comprising at least one strand of a yarn for providing superior cut resistance and abrasion resistance relative to the cut resistance and abrasion resistance of said primary region.
