Abstract
Abstract A hand covering, such as a workman''s glove or mitten having a front portion of wear-resistant leather-like material for covering the palm, thumb and front surfaces of the fingers and wrist of a wearer, and a back portion for covering the back of the hand and fingers of the wearer. The back portion is of monofilament material loosely woven or interlaced to provide open spaces for free movement of air therethrough, whereby the interior of the covering is effectively ventilated. The monofilament material is colored with high light-reflective coloring matter, and the back portion is formed to provide spaced ridges so that light is reflected at various angles from the back portion.
