Traditional hand covers, in conjunction with the leggings, were used to control body temperature in hot or cold weather by tightening the ties around the wrists and ankles to restrict blood flow if you were too hot, and loosened if you were too cold.  If you wish, you can include your wrist and forearm measurements when ordering for a better fit.  May not be exactly as shown.

Note:  Velcro type measures 8" at the wrist and 10" at the forearm.
