Protective Sleeve

Abstract

Protective Sleeve slip on device held by elastic to protect the arm and hand. This Protective sleeve is loose fitting and retractable and worn independently or concealed under or outside of clothing. The Protective sleeve is manufactured in any size or any length to fit over the hand. The elastic band sewn at one open end allows for an opening part to slip on while the other end is left open covering the hand in the extended position. The Protective Sleeve moves up and down the forearm, wrist and hand to allow for multiple forms of protection. This Protective Sleeve in any extended position; that covers the hand, allows for protection to the hand when holding or touching any surface, item or bodily parts.
