The sleeve has a closed end ( 15 ) and an open end ( 16 ) opposite the closed end. The sleeve is made of a high performance elastomeric polymer blend, such as a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) based monolayer elastomeric antistatic film having a coefficient of friction of at least 0.6.
1. A limb protective covering comprising:
an elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve having a closed end and an open end opposite said closed end, said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve being made of a solid film of styrene-butadiene-styrene material, and
a retaining member configured to fit about said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve when donned upon a limb.
2. The limb protective covering of claim 1 wherein said retaining member is a stretchable strap.
3. The limb protective covering of claim 2 wherein said retaining member includes a buckle to adjust said strap.
4. The limb protective covering of claim 1 wherein said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve does not include side seams.
5. The limb protective covering of claim 1 wherein said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve has a circumference free of seams.
6. A limb protective covering comprising:
an elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve having a closed end and an open end opposite said closed end, said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve being made of a solid film of styrene-butadiene-styrene material, and
a retaining member configured to be coupled to said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve when donned upon a limb to maintain said sleeve in position.
7. The limb protective covering of claim 6 wherein said retaining member is a stretchable strap.
8. The limb protective covering of claim 7 wherein said retaining member includes a buckle to adjust the strap.
9. The limb protective covering of claim 6 wherein said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve does not include side seams.
10. The limb protective covering of claim 6 wherein said elongated, tubular, flexible, and waterproof sleeve has a circumference free of seams.
