Emergency unfriendly gloves

Another observation I made on the Numbi trip.
I have a pair of mittins that I fly with. They are lekka as you can flip the finger cover off to operate the radio, Ipod etc and then put it back over again when finished.
I like to ensure that the chute handle is in a nice postion as it can swivel around. When adjusting it to a position that would be best to grab, I noticed that as mittins do not have gaps between the fingers it makes it harder to grip the handle of the chute. This could be a major problem if you are in a tight situation when you might only get one chance.
