Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a glove that can remedy the cold problem by using an air chamber in the upper hand part of the glove. The air chamber is designed to warm the hand and create an insulating layer of air. The air chamber can be inflated with air through an opening, and a valve can be used to close the opening. The air chamber is preferably made of a semi-permeable membrane that prevents humidity from entering the glove. The invention provides a solution for those who need to warm their hands in cold weather while also having the ability to wear gloves during physical activity."

Problems solved by technology

The inherent drawback here does, however, reside in the fact that the exhaled air is humid so that the glove may turn damp.
Furthermore, it is not possible to warm one's hand during a sporting activity.
