Abstract: |
A wind blocking hand covering including a back portion of the hand covering formed of a sandwich of three layers of material joined by binding the three layers to each other along at least one seam. The first layer being an outer fleece layer, the second layer being a waterproof breathable layer and the third, inner layer, being adapted to contact the wearer's hand. A front portion of the hand covering formed of at least one layer of material adapted to cooperatively form a hand covering with the back portion of the hand covering when attached. Securing means for securing the back portion of the hand covering to the front portion of the hand covering to form a hand covering which is suitable for blocking wind from reaching at least the back portion of a wearer's hand. The wind blocking fabric for use in a hand covering includes a first layer of a fleece material. A second, intermediate layer of material, with the first surface of the second layer being adjacent to the first layer and a second surface of the second layer being on the opposite side of the second layer from the first surface. The second layer is formed of a waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. A third layer of material is proximate to the second surface of the second layer. A binding selectively forms a wind resistant fabric from a sandwich of the first layer, second layer and third layer by securing these layers together along selected joined portions of each of the three layers. The binding extends through each of the three layers thereby forming a wind blocking fabric.
