This glove was used by astronaut Ed White during early Gemini training. The glove was constructed by the B.F. Goodrich Company for the David Clark Company, and shows features of each manufacturer.

The gloves were constructed of an inner layer made from a mold of the astronaut's hand, dipped in a rubber compound. The outer layer was fabricated of one-way stretch nylon with neoprene-impregnated palms and lacing on the back. The gloves assumed the contours of the hand controller, and attached to the suit with a ball-bearing lock mechanism.

NASA transferred the glove to the National Air and Space Museum in 1971.
