| Abstract: |
A thin fabric wind resistant mitten, made primarily of a fabric having an air permeability of less than 15 cubic feet per minute per square foot at 0.5 inches head of water, and preferably having a wear resistant palm portion and an extendable trigger finger, may be used over or in place of anti-contact gloves. The wind resistant mitten may store in a pocket formed on the outside surface of a cold weather mitten. The cold weather mitten has inner and outer synthetic material fabrics, and an open cell foam at least about 1/8 inch thick (e.g. 1/2-1 inch thick) between the fabrics. The size of the access opening to the cold weather mitt is easily changed, it has a curvature corresponding to the curvature of a normal human hand at rest, and a lanyard attached to the outer fabric is connected to the wind mitt, storable in the outer pocket. A suspension system comprising barrel locks and suspension cords readily adjustably supports the cold weather mitts on a wearer's neck.

What is claimed is:
1. A cold weather mitten comprising an outer synthetic material shell fabric, an inner synthetic material lining fabric, and a layer of open cell foam between said inner and outer fabrics, said layer being at least about 1/8 inch thick over a majority of the mitten; said mitten having a closed finger-receiving end, with a thumb portion, and an open end, defining an opening, for insertion of the wearer's hand for positioning within the mitten; and fastening means adjacent said open end for effectively changing the size of said opening at said open end, said fastening means when in a first position providing a relatively small opening that causes the mitten to fit tightly on the wearer's forearm when the wearer has relatively thin sleeve garments on, and when in a second position providing a relatively large opening that causes the mitten to fit more loosely at the wearer's forearm to accommodate relatively thick sleeve garments and snugly engage the thick sleeves.
