A system and method of selectively connecting at least two articles of clothing is provided. First and second articles, which may comprise a glove and jacket sleeve or cuff, have mating geometries and at least one fastener to securely and selectively connect the two articles. In certain embodiments, magnets are provided as fasteners to connect the articles. For example, in certain embodiments, a method and system is provided that comprises features adapted to allow connection of an accessory (e.g. ski glove) to a portion of another article (e.g. jacket).

A portable sanitizing system for rapidly dispensing reusable finger coverings for handling contaminated surfaces in a sanitary fashion. A battery operated ultraviolet LED system sanitizes finger coverings which are customized for use with the sanitizing device. The sanitary finger coverings can be rapidly applied to the user's hand without contamination, using a single hand. Repeated sanitization and utilization are similarly rapid and easy. The sanitizer can be carried by the user or attached to their uniform. The reusable finger covers can be custom fit to a variety of hand sizes and are optimally designed to work with the sanitizing device. The implement aids in grasping surfaces securely without touching the surface with the user's bare fingers.

A glove or mitten to enhance insulation covering the fingers and thumb in order to keep the fingers warm while also enabling the fingers to bend. The glove or mitten has uniform insulation covering the fingers and thumb and able to bend at one area at the knuckle, or a non-uniform layer of insulation that enables the knuckles and the two joints on the fingers, and one joint on the thumb, to bend while still keeping the fingers and thumb warm. The padding of the glove or mitten may be put in the parts of the finger in a way that shall not obstruct the movement of the joints. For the joints, there may be padding covering them that allows the joints to move and/or is the same as the original base of the glove or mitten that is present in the rest of the hand.

A hand cover apparatus used to protect a user and others from microorganisms where a hand cover can be connected and mounted to the user's garments, personal effects, or arm. When connected and mounted, the hand cover can be oriented in such a way as to allow rapid, one-handed insertion. As the user approaches a door or object, the user inserts his or her hand into the hand cover and reaches for the door handle to open the door or reaches for an object to manipulate it. This apparatus provides a physical barrier between a user's hand and a handle or object, and its use prevents the spread of microorganisms.

A protective hand covering has a flexible shell with an open end and a closed end, and a constricted region between the open and closed ends. The constricted region defines a passage for receiving the child's hand. The hand covering may be worn by an infant or small child during sleeping or other activities, A gripping material is disposed on an inside surface of the shell at the constricted region and around the passage. The gripping material has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of the material of the flexible shell, such that the hand covering is discouraged from coming off of the child's hand.
