How does the yellow cord work? Do you need a special type of jacket with a clip. I am used to the ones that just tie to your wrist, though this seems like it would be safer if the mitten gets caught on the chairlift or something.

regardless of if you need a special jacket or not...i'd just MacGyver it and thread the cord through the d-ring on the end, much like a slip knot, well exatly like a slipknot, of course that would be very bad if you got ur glove caught in the chairlift.------------------------------------------------The cord is there so you can attach it to your wrist where the gloves would then hang when not in use. The picture doesn't show that it is an open loop with that little black toggle adjusting the size of the loop. It also doesn't show that this cord is completely removable if you don't want it. These will work with whatever jacket you decided to wear... cheers!
