receiver gloves
Sticky-palmed handwear
Receiver gloves are padded gloves with sticky palms worn by football players who catch passes—wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs.
The tacky surface helps grip the ball in all weather conditions.
Once rare, they've become standard equipment at every level of the sport: He couldn't hold onto anything until he got a decent pair of receiver gloves.
