An outerwear article comprises a sleeve and a hand covering. The sleeve defines and extends from a shoulder end and an open end. The sleeve includes a liner, an outer shell extending around the liner, and a pocket defined between the outer shell and the liner. The pocket has an opening on an inside of the sleeve and on a side of the pocket nearest the open end. The hand covering is sewn to the sleeve adjacent the opening via a seam line. The hand covering is rotatable about the seam line from a storage position within the pocket to a use position extending from the seam line out the open end of the sleeve to fit over a wearer's hand.

An accessory cuff is configured to reinforce a gown-glove interface to protect a wearer from exposure to potential pathogens or contaminants through vulnerabilities in the gown-glove interface. The accessory cuff includes a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis. The body has a lumen extending therethrough from the proximal end to the distal end, and a wall surrounding the lumen. The accessory cuff is configured to create a fluid impervious barrier to prevent fluid from entering the lumen when the accessory cuff is sealed at the proximal end and the distal end.

A mitt system includes a mitt for protecting a user's hand during performance of dirty tasks, and a carrier attachable to the user's body and designed hold the mitt spaced apart from the user's body. The mitt is configured for insertion of the hand through an opening and reception of the hand by a thumb section and a finger section without manipulation of an external surface. The carrier includes a first coupler which retains the mitt and a clip for attachment to the body. In an embodiment, a rigid member maintains the opening of the mitt accessible for reception of the hand.

A grip to be worn on the hands to improve the grip on held equipment, while maintaining sensibility and protecting the skin during activities. The grip includes a shaped sheet and an adhesive layer adhereable to skin. The shaped sheet includes a central portion, between-the-fingers and between-finger-and-wrist appendices extending from a perimeter edge of the central portion. The perimeter edge extends and covers beyond a palm of the hand when applied thereto, with the between-the-fingers appendices adhering around at least one finger and back on the palm of the hand or on the back of the hand and the between-finger-and-wrist adhering to the back of the hand. A removable protective film covers the adhesive layer, and includes a plurality of removable sectors. The sectors can include a central portion subdivided into three or more segments, and the between-the-fingers and between-finger-and-wrist appendices that can be subdivided into two or more segments.

A tubular sleeve having a proximal end opposite a distal end, a cutout formed through the tubular sleeve proximate the distal end, a first panel having at least a trailing edge and spanning a first portion of the cutout, a second panel having at least a leading edge and a trailing edge and spanning a second portion of the cutout, and a third panel having at least a leading edge and spanning a third portion of the cutout. The second panel may overlap the first panel across the entire width of the cutout such that the second-panel leading edge is distal to the first-panel trailing edge. The third panel may overlap the second panel across the entire width of the cutout such that the third-panel leading edge is distal to the second-panel trailing edge. In some aspects, a mitten may be affixed to an interior surface of the tubular sleeve.

An elastic band for attachment over the juncture of a surgical glove and sleeve of a surgical gown is disclosed. The elastic band has an abrasive inner surface in contact with the juncture to limit movement of the band relative to the juncture. A circumferential portion of the inner surface is concave. The band may be of variable circumferences to fit the user, adjusting to the size of the user's wrist.

A mitt system includes a mitt for protecting a user's hand during performance of dirty tasks, and a carrier attachable to the user's body and designed hold the mitt spaced apart from the user's body. The mitt is configured for insertion of the hand through an opening and reception of the hand by a thumb section and a finger section without manipulation of an external surface. The carrier includes a first coupler which retains the mitt and a clip for attachment to the body. In an embodiment, a rigid member maintains the opening of the mitt accessible for reception of the hand.

A tubular sleeve having a proximal end opposite a distal end, a cutout formed through the tubular sleeve proximate the distal end, a first panel having at least a trailing edge and spanning a first portion of the cutout, a second panel having at least a leading edge and a trailing edge and spanning a second portion of the cutout, and a third panel having at least a leading edge and spanning a third portion of the cutout. The second panel may overlap the first panel across the entire width of the cutout such that the second-panel leading edge is distal to the first-panel trailing edge. The third panel may overlap the second panel across the entire width of the cutout such that the third-panel leading edge is distal to the second-panel trailing edge. In some aspects, a mitten may be affixed to an interior surface of the tubular sleeve.

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 protective sleeved glove includes a glove with an attached loose sleeve. The sleeve can have a length to cover the wearer's forearm and bicep during an activity, such as for example gardening. A fastener band can be used with the sleeve in order to hold the sleeve in place over a bicep of the wearer.
