Abstract
A batting glove or sports glove includes a glove base configured to accommodate a users hand. In some embodiments, the glove base has an opening in a palmar region of the glove. Multiple palmar layers are attached to the glove base and positioned over the opening. In some embodiments, the palmar layers include a first layer of material positioned between a second layer of material and a third layer of material. The first layer of material has a lower coefficient of friction than one or both of the second and third layers of material such that the layers may slide relative to one another.

A glove comprising:
- a glove base configured to accommodate a user's hand, the glove base having an opening in a palmar region;
- and
- a plurality of layers retained in the palmar region and positioned over the opening, the plurality of layers including a first layer of material positioned between a second layer of material and a third layer of material;
- wherein the first layer of material has a lower coefficient of friction than at least one of the second layer of material or the third layer of material.
A glove comprising:
- a glove base configured to accommodate a users hand;
- a first layer positioned on a palmar region of the glove base and attached to the glove base along a perimeter of the first layer;
- and
- a second layer positioned on the first layer, the second layer attached to the glove base along a perimeter of the second layer;
- wherein the first layer has a first coefficient of friction less than a second coefficient of friction of at least one of the second layer or the glove base.
A batting glove comprising:
- a plurality of material layers positioned in a palmar region of the glove, including:
- a first material layer having a first coefficient of friction;
- and
- a second material layer positioned adjacent to a first side of the first material layer having a second coefficient of friction greater than the first coefficient of friction, wherein the first and second material layers are positioned to slide with respect to each other.
