Product description
Style 199202D is an insulated glove with the upper palmside forefinger constructed of a knitted spandex fabric, the balance of the palmside is constructed of a woven polyester fabric. The backside is made of a bright orange man-made fabric. The glove has leather palmside reinforcements at the center of the palm which extends to the thumb and on the fingertips of the two middle fingers and the pinky. Additional features include a fleece lining, an elasticized wrist, a hook and clasp, and a ribbed knit cuff. Noting the features, we believe the glove shows design for use in the sport of hunting. Style 199201D is a mitten with a sewn-in four fingered glove liner. The palmside of the mitten is constructed of a woven polyester fabric, the balance of the mitten is made of a bright orange man-made fabric. The mitten has slits across the upper palm and palmside thumb which allow the wearer to expose their glove-covered fingers. The glove liner has a slit in the index finger. Additional features include a palm patch made of vinyl-coated material, a fleece lining, an elasticized wrist, a hook and clasp, backside inner foam padding and a ribbed knit cuff. Noting the features, we believe the mitten shows design for use in the sport of hunting.
