What are gloves?

Gauntlets are a type of glove that usually leads from the forearm to the fingers. Many gloves are actually called gloves, although context is usually obvious. In most cases, a pair of gloves is designed to serve the protective function, ensuring that the bearers are not damaged by activities that range from sports fencing to butcher shop. Specialized gloves for a wide range of needs are sold by specializers who focus on the equipment of specific professions and hobbies. Some fashion designers also use gloves in their designs, although these gloves serve more decorative function. These gloves were usually lined with skin to make them more comfortable, and cover with metal to protect the forearm, wrist and hands from harsh strokes. Over time, the militants have evolved so that the chain mail was no longer necessary, but some form of a robust proteuctive glove has always been required, because the hands are extremely delicate and susceptible to combat damage.

The feeling of gloves like heavy, protective gloves were also transferred to other fields. Scientists routinely use gloves as part of cosmic suits and laboratory equipment to protect their hands, while biologists use them to process animals from Sokol to wild cats. Gauntlets are also worn by butchers and other experts in the harsh industry to ensure that they are not injured. They can also provide protection against cold weather, especially when fleece trim or insulating synthetic fibers.

Many athletes also wear gloves as part of a uniform for their sports. In heavy combat sports, Kevlar® or leather gloves can be worn to ensure robust protection without the weight and non -delay of metal. Kendo and fencing require Gauntlets for training and tournament wear, reflecting the military origin of these sports, as well as worries about the hands of athletes.

In the sense of "throw the glove" is also gloves. Traditionally, a slap of someOho with the glove is considered a challenge to fight because he throws a glove in front of someone. In this use, the word "gauntlet" is removed from the old French gantelet , which is a small form of glove. "Running gloves" is not really related to gloves; It is derived from gatlopp , a Swedish word that refers to running through the course.
