The glove features a vinyl coated fabric palm patch which extends across the thumb, backside insulation, inner foam padding, an elasticized wrist, a zipper at the backside gauntlet wrist, a hook and clasp, and padded internal knuckle reinforcement. The cumulation of features on the mitten shows a design for use in the sport of skiing. The essential character of the mitten is imparted by the palmside woven fabric material.
