Abstract: A ski mitten is disclosed comprising a cuff of flexible material for encircling the wrist with a thumbless enclosure of flexible hand-protecting material extending forwardly from this cuff and having a rounded configuration of sufficient size to enclose the whole hand when grasping the handle of a ski pole. The mitten enclosure has an aperture in the bottom permitting the shank of the ski pole to extend out of the mitten while the handle is being held. The flexible material surrounding the aperture is sufficiently flexible and stretchable to enable the whole mitten to be retracted in a quick motion over the wrist for exposing the hand whenever the user may wish. Accordingly, the mitten remains conveniently available on the wrist, avoiding a chance of loss, and is ready to be repositioned over the whole hand whenever there are changes in weather conditions or exercise level.
