Comfort gloves are available for optional use with the Shuttle Extra-vehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) space suit gloves. They provide a comfortable layer of fabric against the hands and aid in wicking away perspiration. They also aid in donning and doffing the larger, more complex space suit gloves. NASA reported this pair of comfort gloves as flown on several Shuttle missions from 1997 through 1999.

NASA transferred these to the Museum in 2000.
