A thermal glove fitted to a human hand having integrated with a body of the glove a thermal, gel-filled pack. The gel pack includes a sealed bladder constructed of flexible, durable material resistant to heat and rupture. The bladder encloses a thermal gel adapted for repeated heating and cooling, such as by microwave exposure or refrigeration. The gel retains and transmits heat energy or cold to the hand of a wearer and is repeatably rechargeable. In preferred aspects of the invention, the gel pack is removably placed within a pocket integrated with the body of glove and adapted to removably receive the gel pack. The pocket may include a closure to secure the pack within the pocket. In other preferred aspects of the invention, a technical glove is provided incorporating a thermal gel pack and further providing a support cuff extending up the forearm of the wearer for comfort, prosthetic and/or injury preventive use by technical workers, such as computer users and laboratory workers.
