ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an article of apparel which is specifically designed for participants of water activities. The apparel, which can take the form of hand and/or foot coverings, enables the wearer to more easily and efficiently navigate in underwater conditions. Thus, the apparel is ideally suited for use by surfers, body board users, and/or scuba divers. Nonetheless, the present invention can be employed with any number of aquatic activities. In general terms, the apparel of the present invention includes a limb stall to which a number of digit stalls are connected. Such stalls are employed in receiving the extremities of a user. Furthermore, the apparel includes a number of webbing sections as well as a dorsal chute. These portions of the apparel advantageously provide drag thus increasing maneuverability in underwater conditions.
