A protective glove configured to cover the hand of the user is provided. The glove includes a first portion that is configured for tightly fitting on at least a portion of the hand of the user. A second portion is contiguous with the first portion and is also configured for tightly fitting on at least a portion of the hand of the user. The second portion has a higher tactility than the first portion so that the user of the glove may more easily feel through the second portion than through the first portion.
