Three samples were submitted for review. Style 9704111 is a lined and insulated girls’(sizes 4 to 6X) glove with an outershell constructed of a woven nylon fabric with an inner foam coating. The glove features a vinyl coated fabric palm patch which extends across the thumb, inner foam padding on the backside, an elasticized wrist, a hook and clasp, padded internal knuckle reinforcement, fourchettes and a fake fur cuff measuring approximately 2 inches in width. The glove will also be available as style 9704112 in sizes 7 to 16. The cumulation of features on the gloves show a design for use in the sport of skiing. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the outershell coated woven fabric material.
