Abstract
An article of clothing adapted to receive at least a portion of a wearer's body, having a rear end forming an access passage for the wearer's hand and at least one elastic member so disposed as to bias the access passage towards a substantially open position. The article of clothing, which may be in the form of a glove or mitten, may also include an opening extending substantially longitudinally forward from the rear end. A closure device, such as a zipper, may be adjacent the opening and may be selectively operated to urge the opening, and thus the access passage, towards a substantially closed position, sealing the article of clothing against the wearer's wrist or forearm.
