| Abstract: |
A glove or a mitten having a water proof membrane mounted therein. A membrane includes a plurality of outwardly extending tabs sealingly mounted thereto. The outer end of the membranes are secured to an outer shell which conformingly fits around the membrane. An inner liner is fixedly secured to the inwardly projecting ends of the tabs with the inner lining fitting within the water tight membrane. The outer shell, intermediate membrane and inner liner are all configured as a glove or a mitten being closed on all sides except one to allow the extension of a hand into the inner liner. Withdrawal forces applied by the hand against the inner liner are transferred through the tabs directly to the outer shell isolating the membrane from withdrawal forces.
