| Abstract: |
A glove is provided having a slot in a palmar region disposed over a wearer's palm with edges that may be selectively joined to close the slot or parted to open the slot. The slot has a generally L-shaped course extending from a proximal end of the palmar portion, forward to a distal end of the palmar portion and then tranversely to an ulnar edge of the palmar portion. When the slot is open, a wearer's fingers and thumb may be extended therethrough without removing the glove. The L-shaped course and location of the slot make it easy to extend and replace the wearer's fingers and thumb with only minimal readjustment of the glove.
