Forearm pocket on gloves.

[Tjeccles]

While drying out my gloves after washing them, I found the pouch on the inside of the forearm. Is that for any specific purpose or just how Wampa Wear gloves get made?

It's funny, I must have trooped 20 times before I realized that was even there! I put my car keys in it from time to time, but we are also blessed with those wonderful pouches for holding keys. I really don't know why it's there but it's come in handy!

Is it supposed to act like a vent?

I believe they were there on the original Esprit gloves, to store the 'rain covers'. I've seen other motorcycle gloves with these pockets and covers.

 

In the past, I've used them to store ID, cash, hotel key, etc...

Bingo! On the replicas and originals, there were rain covers to keep your hands dry(-ish) and you'd fold them up and store them in there. I just keep a couple of challenge coins in mine - 1 in each glove.
