Abstract: A multi-layer glove or mitten incorporating an inner liner, intermediate waterproof, windproof and/or breathable membrane layer and an outer shell in which the inner liner and membrane layer are secured to each other by use of an adhesive system which provides a secure fit between the layers and inhibits the reversibility of layers when the hand is removed from the glove, as well as inhibiting the movement of the crotch regions of the membrane layer from moving away from the crotch regions of the inner liner during use. The multi-layered glove is also assembled more efficiently with improved construction techniques relating to the use of the adhesive tapes secured to the outside of the inner liner layer.
