Flexible hollow articles comprise an expanded elastomeric inner member and an outer restraining means. The restraining means has score lines thereon, and is made of a notch-sensitive material so that the score lines can be propagated through the material by distorting the article. The stiffness and elongation of the restraining means, and the peel strength of the bond between the inner member and the restraining means, are so chosen that at least part of the restraining means can be pulled away from the inner member by manual force. The articles are useful for covering substrates, especially splices and terminations in electrical cables.
