protective sleeves

Fabric limb shields

Protective sleeves are covers designed to shield objects from damage, wear, or contamination.

They range from plastic sleeves that preserve documents and trading cards to fabric sleeves that prevent scratches on electronics: I keep my vinyl records in protective sleeves.

In sports and medicine, protective sleeves are compression garments worn on arms or legs to support muscles or guard against injury.
