| Abstract: |
A glove capable of selectively covering and exposing at least a tip portion of a wearer's first and second fingers while the glove is being worn by the wearer. The first and second fingers of the glove are each provided with a slit through which a wearer's first and second fingers may be removed without removing the glove. Although the first and second fingers of the glove are removable from the wearer's first and second fingers, the first and second fingers of the glove remain integral with the rest of the glove. For at least this reason, the glove is provided with a pouch which is structured and configured to store the first and second fingers of the glove out of the wearer's way when the wearer's first and second fingers are not being covered by the first and second fingers of the glove. When the wearer's first and second fingers are being covered by the first and second fingers of the glove, the slit is covered by a removable flap to ensure that the wearer's first and second fingers remain covered. The glove is particularly suitable for, but is not limited to, use by smokers. The glove according to the instant invention permits the wearer to hold a lit cigarette between certain of his fingers while wearing the glove without compromising the glove.
