WEHA Waterproof Arm Sleeve Protectors – Black, Waterproof Rubber, 1 Pair
WEHA Waterproof Arm Sleeve Protectors are black waterproof rubber arm sleeves worn over the forearm in wet stone fabrication and installation work. They keep slurry, water and stone dust off the arm and off a shirt sleeve while polishing, coring or working at a wet saw.
Waterproofing is the whole point of the product: a fabric sleeve wets through in minutes at a polishing station, while a rubber sleeve sheds the water and wipes clean.
Key Features
- Waterproof rubber construction, black
- Worn on the forearm for wet polishing, sawing and coring work
- Wipes clean at the end of a shift instead of going through the wash
Who Is This For?
Fabricators and installers working wet all day — polishing stations, wet saws, core drilling and sink cut-outs. For full-torso coverage rather than arm-only protection, use a waterproof apron such as the Alpha Multi-Purpose Waterproof Apron, long-sleeved (ALP APRON2LSR); as an alternative sleeve, the Granite Resource Group Stone Sleeve (GRG SLEEVE) is a Cordura sleeve with a rubber cuff.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these sleeves used for?
They are worn over the forearms during wet stone fabrication and installation to keep slurry, water and dust off the arms and sleeves.
Are they waterproof?
Yes. Weha's own product naming describes them as waterproof rubber sleeve protectors for stone fabrication.
Do they replace a waterproof apron?
No. Arm sleeves cover the forearms only. For chest and lap coverage at a wet station, an apron such as the Alpha Multi-Purpose Waterproof Apron is the right item and the two are commonly worn together.
How are they cleaned?
Rubber sleeves are rinsed and wiped down after use, which is why wet shops choose them over fabric sleeves that hold slurry.
