| Abstract: |
A thermal mitten includes a first end portion containing an opening through which the user introduces his hand into a chamber contained within the mitten, the second end portion of the mitten containing a pocket for receiving a warming device to warm the user's fingers, characterized by the provision of a palm opening contained in the palm portion of the mitten, thereby to permit gripping of a steering wheel or the like by the palm portion of the user's hand. When the user's fingers are slipped out from the second end portion, the second end portion may be folded back toward a retracted inoperative position against the back of the mitten body portion, at least one restraining device being provided for retaining the second end portion in place with sufficient force as to permit a user to grip a golf club and strike a golf ball. A thumb portion is provided on the mitten which is foldable back to a retained position between the second end portion and the back of the mitten body portion.
