| Abstract: |
A thermally insulated glove of the type which has a mitt portion and a thumb portion is formed with a forefinger or trigger finger portion which has a finger compartment communicating with the mitt compartment. The finger compartment is proportioned to accommodate and arranged to receive the forefinger of the wearer in use. The forefinger portion is formed from a thin, flexible material such that it will not significantly restrict the dexterity of the forefinger of the wearer in use and will allow the wearer a substantial degree of tactile sensitivity therethrough. The remainder of the glove is formed from a thermal insulation material which substantially restricts the tactile sensitivity of the wearer.
