Velcro strap holds glove in place. Key rings are sewn in the Velcro strap to make it easier for the user to put on the gloves unassisted. The leather gloves conform to the user’s hands. Rubber material allows a good grip of the wheelchair’s grip rings.

Users comments
Goes through about three pairs of gloves per year. Sometimes just replacing the rubber material is all that is needed.
