A flexible, microporous, hydrophobic and oleophobic protective handcovering and a process for its manufacture. The process generally comprises the steps of immersing a fabric shell having the configuration of a human hand in a liquid slurry comprised of inorganic, reinforcing microfibers and a polymeric binding agent in the form of a continuous matrix and drawing a vacuum in the interior of the fabric shell to cause the binding agent and fibers from the slurry to be deposited on the outer surface of the shell. The resulting composite structure is then cured to set the matrix in the desired shape. A treating agent, preferably a fluorinated hydrocarbon, is applied to the composite structure in an amount sufficient to render the handcovering both hydrophobic and oleophobic.
