Difference between Mittens and Gloves
I have heard and hence used the term 'Mittens' for those that I use while rappelling. But, the ones that I use for bike-riding are referred as 'Gloves'.
Is there a difference between Gloves and Mittens?
Is the difference depending upon the following?
If it makes easy, we can limit out scope to:
- Use case: The way they are used and for the purpose of usage
- Material those are made-up of.
- The way they look

Gloves have separate fingers; they are less warm but allow you to use your hands better. Mittens have only a separate thumb; they are warmer but restrict the hands.
Both types come in all sorts of materials, and there are even combinations, e.g. gloves with detachable 'mitten-like' finger boxes.
