1. A glove comprising:
a thumb;
an index finger;
a middle finger;
a ring finger;
a little finger, each finger having a front portion extending over the front of the finger and a rear portion extending over the rear of the finger, each finger having an outward lateral side with an imaginary medial line extending along the length of the finger and an inward lateral side with an imaginary medial line extending along the length of the finger;
a palm portion;
a back portion, together the palm portion and the back portion define a glove main body, the glove main body having an outward lateral side with an imaginary medial line extending along the length of the outward lateral side of the glove main body and an inward lateral side with an imaginary medial line extending along the length of the inward lateral side of the glove main body, the fingers projecting outward from the palm and back portions, the front portion of each of the fingers being on the same side as the palm portion, and the rear portion of each of the fingers being on the same side as the back portion;
the glove having a silicone glove portion at least partially made from a silicone material and a non-silicone glove portion made from a non-silicone material, the silicone glove portion having:
a silicone thumb portion comprising:
a silicone front portion of the front portion of the thumb,
a silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the thumb located toward a free end of the thumb and extending laterally outward from the medial line on the inward lateral side of the thumb to at or near the medial line on the outward lateral side of the thumb so as to wrap around the inward lateral side of the thumb, and
an elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the thumb extending along the medial line on the inward lateral side of the thumb, the elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the thumb extending laterally outward from the medial line on the inward lateral side of the thumb only partially toward the medial line on the outward lateral side of the thumb but sufficiently so as to wrap around the inward lateral side of the thumb;
a silicone index finger portion comprising:
a silicone front portion of the front portion of the index finger,
a silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the index finger located toward a free end of the index finger and extending laterally inward from the medial line on the outward lateral side of the index finger to at or near the medial line on the inward lateral side of the index finger so as to wrap around the outward lateral side of the index finger, and
an elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the index finger extending along the medial line on the outward lateral side of the index finger, the elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the index finger extending laterally inward from the medial line on the outward lateral side of the index finger only partially toward the medial line on the inward lateral side of the index finger but sufficiently so as to wrap around the outward lateral side of the index finger;
a silicone little finger portion comprising:
a silicone front portion of the front portion of the little finger,
a silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the little finger located toward a free end of the little finger and extending laterally outward from the medial line on the inward lateral side of the little finger to at or near the medial line on the outward lateral side of the little finger so as to wrap around the inward lateral side of the little finger, and
an elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the little finger extending along the medial lines on the outward and inward lateral sides of the little finger, the elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the little finger extending laterally outward from the medial line on the inward lateral side of the little finger to at or near the medial line on the outward lateral side of the little finger so as to wrap around the inward lateral side of the little finger;
a silicone palm portion; and
an elongated silicone rear portion of the back portion extending along the medial line on the inward lateral side of the glove main body between the elongated silicone rear portion of the rear portion of the little finger and to or near an open end portion of the glove, the elongated silicone rear portion of the back portion extending laterally outward from the medial line on the inward lateral side of the glove main body only partially toward the medial line on the outward lateral side of the glove main body, to or near a position below the rear portion of the ring finger so as to wrap around the inward lateral side of the glove main body.
