The present invention is a protective sleeve of left and right design to be worn on the respective user's forearms. The purpose of the sleeve is to protect the wearer from electrical shock while working on electrical power panels, where exposed electrical conductors are present. The sleeves allow the technician to make contact with live electrical conductors, and prevent the arms from making contact with any grounded surfaces nearby. This is essential in the prevention of electrical shock. In the telecommunications industry, technicians routinely work directly with live conductors; therefore insulating sleeves for protecting the arms, such as those of the present invention are an important part of any electrician's tool box. The present invention is fully adjustable from small to large sized arms using the uniquely flexible and adjustable Velcro(TM) fastening system. Additionally, the Velcro(TM) fastening system allows the technician to adjust the sleeve snuggly around the arm to prevent slippage and movement. A denim comfort liner is designed to provide comfort to bare arms in cold or hot working conditions. Rubber type protective sleeves that are currently on the market (also known as lineman sleeves) do not allow an adjustable fit or provide suitable arm movement flexibility during use. In addition, current art does not provide an internal liner for increased comfort when working in the warm environments typically found in telecommunications switching and router room facilities.
