A custom-fitted hand protector product, including a multi-layer protective pad for being custom-fitted onto the back of the hand to protect the hand of the wearer between the wrist and the fingers. The protective pad comprises a flexible inner cushion layer for being placed closest to the hand and an initially flexible intermediate layer overlying the inner layer, said intermediate layer comprised of a fabric impregnated with a moisture-curable resin which hardens upon curing to form a rigid structure of the fabric which retains a hand-molded shape into which it is molded during curing, thereby also holding the flexible inner cushion layer in the same hand-defined shape. Releasable attachment devices are attached for retaining the protective pad in an exposed, exterior position on the back of the hand. The product is packaged in a moisture-proof package until immediately prior to use. |
