Moroever, the glove is provided with dual attaching straps. One strap, a wrist attaching strap, draws the glove snugly around the subject's wrist. The other strap, a back side strap, when secured extends at an angle across streetchable material forming a portion of the back side of the glove. Effectively, the back angled strap tends to pull and gather the back side of the glove resulting in a snug and secure fit about the subject's hand.
