Abstract

Abstract A multi-ply glove or mitt construction having a multi-ply shell and multi-ply selectively removable liner is provided with interengaging contacting surfaces. The shell is formed by an outer water repellant layer and an inner heat insulating layer, between which is sandwiched a relatively waterproof breathable layer. A slide layer is formed on the inner surface of the inner heat insulating layer. The insulating layer of the shell is preferrably formed of a lofting material such as down, DACRON or THINSULATE fiber, or the like natural or synthetic fibrous materials lending themselves to lofting. The slide layer faces the interior of the glove and is formed of a material providing a shiny surface by means of a non-brushed knit or woven synthetic such as nylon and/or similar sheet synthetic. The interior removable liner is formed of relatively porous moisture absorbent material such as a pile fabric, or woven, knitted, or felted fabric of natural or synthetic fiber, or encased lofting material having a preferrably coarse outer surface layer, and relatively smooth inner surface layer. The interior of the shell and the exterior of the liner are provided preferrably adjacent their cuffs with interengaging means, preferrably in the form of VELCRO.
