Abstract
A body shielding device having an elongate tube constructed of flexible, water-resistant sheet material. The tube has a diameter large enough to allow a limb to be inserted through the tube. The tube preferably has a permanent crease running along the length of the tube so as to allow a sidewall of the tube to be easily folded over itself as needed to accomodate varying limb sizes. Fastening strips are provided on the outer surface of the tube to provide convenient means by which to secure the tube tightly around the limb in the folded-over position.
