Abstract
A child or adult glove which allows the child or adult to see his or her thumb and fingers up to the moment when they are inserted in the glove finger and thumb holes. This is accomplished with at least one and preferably two zippers or hook and loop fasteners which extend from a wrist opening along the dorsal side of the glove towards the finger openings. The zippers or hook and loop fasteners are arranged such that the back of the glove can be folded out of the way so that the entry to the thumb and finger holes is clearly visible.
