Product description
The submitted sample will be returned as per your request. Style 3601105 is a lined and insulated gauntlet glove. The glove has a palmside from the base of the fingers to the hemmed gauntlet bottom, half of the backside, the complete thumb, sidewalls, and fourchettes constructed of a woven nylon fabric with an underside coating. A textured vinyl coated knitted fabric comprises the palmside fingers and overlaps the backside fingertips. The balance of the backside outershell is made of a woven nylon fabric. The glove features coated fabric reinforcements at the center of the palm which extends to the thumb and at the base of the pinky which extends to the wrist, a waterproof barrier, a partially elasticized wrist, a backside textile wrist tightener, a hook and clasp, padded internal knuckle reinforcement, backside inner foam padding, and a drawstring tigthener at the gauntlet bottom. The cumulation of features on the glove shows a design for use in the sport of skiing. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the coated woven outershell fabric, therefore, your assertion of classification as an uncoated fabric ski glove under 6216.00.4600, HTS, is not applicable.
