gloves that are made up of a wide strip of neoprene that covers top half of palm and inside of thumb to prevent blisters that form when engaged in activities as varied as:
kayaking, rafting, climbing rope, sliding down banisters, sword fighting, quarterstaff combat, paintball newbies holding marker too tightly, biking, using hand and/or power tools, pull upping, lifting weights, holding onto public transportation, using writing implements, and other household chores.-- tcarson, May 27 2006 Isn't blister prevention a primary purpose for most work gloves?-- Galbinus_Caeli, May 27 2006 Right...Baked; anti-blister gloves-- jellydoughnut, May 27 2006 A rubber strip wou;d make worse blisters, not to mention rubber-burns. What you need is a Teflon strip. Something with LOW friction.
