| Abstract: |
A mitten-like hand covering is disclosed having a transverse slit-like opening through which one or more fingers, or the entire hand, may pass. Upper and lower elastic strips are attached along the upper and lower sides of the slit-like opening. Upper and lower fastening members of the Velcro-type are attached respectively over the upper and lower elastic strips with the fastening side of each fastening member facing away from the hand enclosing member. The elastic strips stretch freely beneath the fastening members. When the fingers of an enclosed hand are clenched, the fastening members fasten together to completely close the opening. When the fingers are extended and press against the inside tip of the hand covering, the fasteners are unfastened permitting fingers or the entire hand to pass through the opening. The hand covering may be carried on the wrist or forearm by passing the entire hand through the opening.
