Re: Finger sleeves

Finger sleeves are ostensibly used to protect jammed fingers. They are neither gloves nor sweatbands, nor are they covers for bandages. They should be listed as a neoprene brace similar to that worn on the knee or ankle and should be allowed. They do not give any advantage to those who are not injured, but may be promoted as a preventative brace (although I haven't seen any reported studies as to effectiveness).
The sleeves I've seen have been terry cloth (or similar) -- not neoprene. I've generally disallowed them.
