Abstract: |
An electrically-heated golf mitten formed of a three-layer fabric body that encases the thumb separately and the other four fingers together, and including a cut-and-sewn nylon shell, cut-and-sewn closed cell foam insulator, and cut-and-sewn fleece liner. A battery pack is mounted on the wrist, and a Velcro(TM)-attachable elastic cuff-strap is stretched around the wrist and battery pack for securement and sealing. The battery pack is connected to heating elements attached inwardly of the closed-cell foam insulator. In use, the battery pack and heating elements are designed for relatively high heat, and the three-layer fabric body with sealing cuff-strap is designed for high heat retention. The heated mitten is also very easy to put on and take off. Thus, a golfer dons the mitten for 5 minute intervals between strokes for flash warming of the hands.
