ABSTRACT

A compliant covering for a hand includes a sheath having an interior space to
receive at least a part of the hand. The sheath includes an inner sheath layer
having an inner surface defining a boundary of the interior space. The inner
layer is formed of a first material. The sheath includes an outer sheath layer
at least partially covering an exterior of the inner sheath layer. The outer
sheath layer has an outer surface forming an exterior of the sheath. The outer
sheath layer is formed of a second material having a higher abrasion
resistance compared to the first material.
