This full pressure glove was designed for high-altitude use, constructed by the B.F. Goodrich Company in the early 1960s. However, it was used during early training and spacesuit development testing by astronaut Gus Grissom, prior to the final decision being made by NASA as to which suit would be used during the Gemini missions.
The glove is constructed of two layers - an internal rubber/Neoprene pressure bladder, and a nylon upper cover-layer, with a neoprene-impregnated nylon palm which was designed to prevent objects from slipping out of the astronaut's hands during weightlessness.
NASA transferred these gloves to the Museum in 1970.
