gloved
Wearing hand protection
Gloved describes a hand or person wearing a glove: a gloved hand reached through the window, the gloved surgeon prepared for the operation.
The word often appears in contexts suggesting protection, formality, or concealment—laboratory workers handling specimens, criminals avoiding fingerprints, elegant women at galas.
