glove
Let an agent explain gloves, relay types, materials, protective standards, history and cultural uses from textile, safety and history sources, describe the named types and flag the uncertain alias, relay allergy and safety information, and distinguish gloves from mittens, gauntlets, hand wraps and prosthetic hands.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Protective gloves are rated under standards such as EN 388 for mechanical risks and EN 60903 for electrical insulation, and latex gloves can cause allergies.
