Are heavy work-gloves with a zip down the back of the hand already baked?

Does this work for people who have hair on the back of their hands? |

They could be sold with a free jar of depilatory gel. Seriously, a Velcro flap could replace the zip. |

Velcro doesn't have a lot of strength when pulled sideways, and tends to wear out pretty quickly. <My wrists are so large that I have difficulty finding a normal watchband that will fit, so I use an army 'surplus' Recon watchband, a nylon strap with velcro and a cover over the watch. The watch cover only lasts about a year, the holdon somewhat longer.> |

Zippers would be a better idea. Some ski gloves use this, kind of; there's a gusset in the back that makes the wrist larger, then once you've got it on, you zip the zip up to gather the extra space and make it fit tighter. |

I once cut the sleeves off of an army surplus rain jacket, and had them sewn onto a pair of army surplus rubber boots, as built in gaiters, and used them for pouring concrete - go to a seamstress, a shoe repair shop, or a maybe a saddlemaker - look in the yellow pages under sewing, maybe... |

Any of these places should have the equipment to sew thick leather, or canvas, and should have no problem putting a zipper and gusset into a pair of work gloves. I suggest something with some elastic in the wrist. I favor Big Jakes for heavy work, they have a double palm, and thumb, and are sewn with Kevlar, and thus, will probobly last longer :) |

Someone should sell this idea to the golf glove mfrs. Lynx used to make a golf glove with a velcro fastened flap on the back which provided extremely easy access for those with wide hands. |
