Abstract
The present invention relates to a compression garment for hands or feet with padding between digits to provide compression to digits. The compression garment has a body with an open front and separating walls to create space for digits to fit through. A pocket is created by a set of separating walls between digits and a padding piece is removably inserted into the pocket to provide compression to digits.
