Patent ID: 8336115

Claim:
A protective garment, comprising: a garment body; a first sleeve and a second sleeve extending from the garment body, each sleeve having a proximal end at the garment body and each sleeve having a distal end in which the material forming the distal end of the sleeve is a multilayer nonwoven fabric of non-elastomeric fibers; a layer of elastic fibers providing the outermost surface of the multilayer nonwoven fabric at the distal end of each of the sleeves; and a cuff secured at respective ends of said sleeves; wherein the layer of elastic fibers provides a coefficient of friction that is at least twice that of the multilayer nonwoven fabric of non-elastomeric fibers such that the layer of elastic fibers provides a high friction surface such that an end of a glove pulled over the layer of elastic fibers is inhibited from rolling or sliding back.
