US Patent 8984667 Water-repelling hand mitt apparatus

A water-repelling hand mitt apparatus removes excess water from a person's hair and body after getting wet. The apparatus includes a flexible hand mitt having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is water-repellant such that sliding the first surface against a body of a user removes excess water from the user's body. A thumb strap is coupled to the hand mitt and extends over the second surface. A medial portion of the thumb strap is spaced from the second surface such that the thumb strap is configured to receive a thumb of the user when the hand mitt is worn by the user.
