This invention describes watersports gear, like gloves or shoes, that are partly made by molding soft, durable foam, such as EVA, into a three-dimensional shape. This molded section helps the gear be flexible, tough, and comfortable. The specific design claimed is for an item that covers a hand or foot, where the very end part (like the palm or sole) is molded foam, and the part connecting it (like the wrist or ankle) is a stretchy material.
Why it matters: Since 2014, advancements in polymer foam materials and more accessible 3D printing for custom molds could streamline production of these specialized components.
