Abstract

Adjustable ring protectors to be worn on a digit of a user that include a first ring shape, an interior comprising at least one interior material, an exterior comprising at least one exterior material encasing the at least one interior material, and the exterior comprising an exterior surface including a texture. The first ring shape includes a first end, a second end, and a first open space between the first end and the second end. The least one exterior material includes a soft material. The at least one interior material includes a deformable material. The at least one interior material and the at least one exterior material are configured to minimally deform producing a second ring shape configured to securely fit the adjustable ring protector on the digit of the user. The second ring shape includes the first end, the second end, and a second open space. In some examples, the adjustable ring protector includes a first end cap coupled to the first end and a second end cap coupled to the second end. In some further examples, the exterior of the adjustable ring protector includes an inner surface comprising a inner surface texture and an outer surface comprising an outer surface texture, wherein the inner surface texture is different from the outer surface texture.
