| 摘要 |
The invention provides a hand cover (10) for use in water sporting activities wherein a sports person grips a piece of equipment (6), such as a boom of a said windsurf. The hand cover comprises a wrist enclosing section, two side sections (2) and a main section (3), the two side sections and/or main section being shaped such that the hand cover has a pre-curled shape having a finger enclosing region. The wrist enclosing section, side sections and main sections together define an open section (4) of the hand cover through which part of a user's palm and fingers are exposed for making a bare-skin grip on the boom to mitigate against forearm fatigue that can be caused by over-gripping. The hand cover additionally comprises a biasing means (1) for urging the finger enclosing region of the hand cover to contact and fit against the boom, when gripped by a wearer of the hand cover, for aiding the hand cover in sealing around the wearer's hand and the part of the equipment being gripped. |
