content: These vinyl sleeves are worn from the wrist to just above the elbow by people working in the factory aboard the trawler <I>Alaska Ocean</I>. Worn tucked into work gloves, the sleeves help keep a worker’s forearms dry. The company supplies such sleeves, which are cleaned frequently and reused. An estimated 200 pairs of sleeves were stocked aboard the <I>Alaska Ocean</I> during the 2007 season. The <I>Alaska Ocean</I> operates in the North Pacific and the Bering Sea.
