Benefits of technology

The patent describes a special glove for outdoor activities that has a space for a human hand. The glove has a part called an instrument attachment module that can hold additional tools like a mirror, a clock, a compass, a light, and a thermometer. This module is attached to the outside of the glove with a fastener. The patent also describes a commercial kit that can be added to a regular glove to add these tools.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patent is the lack of safe ways to release the grip of your hands while engaging in outdoor sports without having them interfere with other necessary equipment (such as a camera). Existing solutions tend to be bulky and uncomfortable, which can make it difficult to focus on what matters during the activity. There is a need for a more comfortable and practical solution that allows individuals to safely enjoy their favorite outdoor activities without sacrificing safety or comfort.
