A glove, comprising:
- a substrate configured to include four finger portions, a thumb portion, a palm portion and a back of hand portion which cooperate to cover a human hand,
- each finger portion and thumb portion having a substantially continuous surface positioned on a portion of the substrate which surrounds each end of each respective finger portion and thumb portion, and
- a non-continuous surface positioned on a portion of the substrate which substantially covers the palm portion and the back of hand portion,
- wherein the glove is formed to be an ambidextrous glove, and
- wherein an uncoated area is positioned between the end of each substantially continuous surface and the palm portion and the back of hand portion, the uncoated area surrounding at least a portion of each finger portion and thumb portion.
