A utility glove having a palm side including a three dimensional molded pal m portion formed of an elastomeric material with a thumb portion and at least one finger portion and a back side of the glove comprising a fabric material. The molde d palm portion may have one or more of thickened areas for abrasion resistance, padded areas for comfort, flex grooves for improved movement and textured grip areas for improved grip. The molded palm portion may be formed of different elastomeri c materials to take advantage of the different characteristics of the particul ar materials. A molded portion of the utility glove may be formed by placing a piece of fabric against a mold part formed in the shape of at least a portion of a hand, bringing a corresponding mold part into molding relation with the mold part in the shape of at least a portion of the hand and injecting an elastomeric material into the mold to form the molded portion.
