1. A reinforcement (2) for a glove (17), particularly a goalkeeper glove comprising:
a) an arrangement (3) of several first elements connected to each other (3a to 3f),
b) several second elements (4a to 4f), that are so connected with the arrangement (3) of first elements (3a to 3f, that at least two stopping surfaces (14, 15) are configured at least between two neighboring second elements (3a to 3f),
c) wherein the arrangement (3) of first elements (3a to 3f) is flexible in a forwards movement from an essentially extended state into a curved state, and in a backwards movement from the curved state to the extended state,
d) wherein in the curved state one interspace each (11, 32) is configured
d1) and between neighboring first elements (3a to 3f) one interspace each (16) is configured
d2), and between the stopping surfaces (14, 15) of neighboring second elements (4a to 4f)
e) wherein in the extended state, the stopping surfaces (14, 15) of neighboring second elements (4a to 4f) at least partially touch the other and therewith further counteract backwards movement.
