The present invention is a knit or cloth glove that includes one or more additional protective layers attached thereto to improve the protective attributes of the glove as desired by the wearer. The protective layers are formed of materials that provide puncture, cut, chemical and water resistant properties to the glove, and are secured to a base layer of the glove that is formed of a stretchable and breathable natural or synthetic fabric material. An outer coating layer is applied over the base layer and the protective layers to provide enhanced protective features, as well as a seamless appearance, to the glove.
