US Classification:

Abstract:

The technical features of the Multi MIT are the retractable finger points on and/or near the metacarpo-interphalangeal joint on the middle, index and thumb fingers. On the dorsal side of the glove, are magnets that are sewn between the insulated material and the outer fabric which connect when the finger caps are retracted. The finger caps are held back by a positive and a negative magnet on the dorsal side of the glove that firmly holds the finger caps in place. The retracted caps access the inner spandex fleece glove that has touch screen material patches on the tips of the middle, index, and thumb fingers on the palmer side of the inner glove. The inner glove is designed to give the wearer fingertip sensory reception, dexterity and allow touch screen capabilities while providing mild fingertip protection with the finger caps retracted.
