What I didn't say very well, was that the glove part might not reflect
the composition of what it's attached to--it's probably attached to
serious arm protection. A glove, fitting the hand, will keep an
around-the-arm protection in place much better than just lacing it real
tight. I think the arm protection must have been heavier than the glove
we can see, and that (who? John?) was right and it'll be zapped out by
the Gods of Computer Imaging.
