The backside of the glove has fingertips that are overlaid with a coated fabric and a zipped pouch located across the knuckle area. The glove features a vinyl coated fabric palm patch which extends across the thumb, an elasticized wrist, a hook and clasp, padded internal knuckle reinforcement, and fourchettes and sidewalls. The cumulation of features on the glove show a design for use in the sport of skiing. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the outershell woven nylon fabric material.
