Patent ID: 7568238

Claim:
A wrist covering designed to be worn over the gloved hand and arm-sleeve of a user, the wrist covering comprising: a sleeve member comprising a sheet of material having first and second sides, a base side and top side, wherein the base side is longer than the top side, the first and second sides of the sheet being fixedly held together with an attachment mechanism that extends along substantially the entire first and second sides to form the sleeve member, the sleeve member having a length extending from a first opening, designed to fit around the forearm of the user, to a second opening, designed to fit around the hand of the user, the first opening having a larger circumference than the second opening, and wherein the circumference of the sleeve member continuously decreases from the first opening to the second opening when the sleeve member is extended to the full circumference of the material; a thumb aperture in the sleeve member proximate to the second opening; a first fastener positioned on the sleeve member so that a longitudinal centerline of the first fastener crosses a boundary line of the thumb aperture, the first fastener being different from the attachment mechanism and being capable of providing for increased tightness of the sleeve member around the user's hand relative to the tightness that would be achieved by employing the attachment mechanism without the first fastener; and a second fastener positioned on the sleeve member, the second fastener being different from the attachment mechanism and being capable of providing increased tightness of the sleeve member around the user's forearm relative to the tightness that would be achieved by employing the attachment mechanism without the second fastener, wherein the first and second fasteners are chosen from straps and cinch cords.
