The main body portion, the finger portions and the thumb portion are each knitted as a single layer of material formed from a yarn that is a composite yarn having a core constructed of one or more core filaments and a sheath constructed of two or more filaments. At least one of the core filaments is a formed from a high performance material having cut resistant properties and at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material exhibiting hydrophobic characteristics. A cut resistant hydrophobic sleeve and a yarn for making the glove and sleeve are disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cut resistant hydrophobic glove, comprising: a main body portion having a front side and a rear side, the main body portion enclosing the palm and back of a user's hand, finger portions; and a thumb portion, wherein the main body portion, the finger portions and the thumb portion are each knitted as a single layer of material formed from a yarn, the yarn being a composite yarn having a core constructed of one or more core filaments and a sheath constructed of two or more filaments, wherein at least one of the core filaments is a formed from a high performance material having cut resistant properties and wherein at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material exhibiting hydrophobic characteristics. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The glove of claim 1, wherein the at least one core filament material is one of fiberglass, high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), stainless steel, aramid, liquid-crystal polymer (LCP), aromatic polymer and combinations thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The glove of claim 1, wherein the at least one sheath filament material is one of nylon, polyester, cotton, cotton blends and combinations thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The glove of claim 3, wherein at least one sheath filaments is formed from a material treated to exhibit hydrophobic characteristics and/or oleophobic characteristics. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The glove of claim 3, wherein at least one sheath filaments is formed from a material treated to exhibit hydrophobic characteristics. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The glove of claim 1 wherein at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material exhibiting oleophobic characteristics. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The glove of claim 3, wherein at least one sheath filaments is formed from a material treated to exhibit hydrophobic ### Claim 8 A sleeve, comprising: a body knitted from a yarn, the yarn being a composite yarn having a core constructed of one or more core filaments and a sheath constructed of two or more filaments, wherein at least one of the core filaments is a formed from a high performance material having cut resistant properties and wherein at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material exhibiting hydrophobic characteristics. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The sleeve of claim 8, wherein the at least one core filament material is one of fiberglass, high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), stainless steel and aramid, liquid-crystal polymer (LCP), aromatic polymer and combinations thereof. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The sleeve of claim 8, wherein the at least one sheath filaments is formed from one of nylon, polyester, cotton, cotton blends and combinations and/or blends thereof. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The sleeve of claim 8, wherein the at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material treated to exhibit hydrophobic characteristics. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The sleeve of claim 8 wherein at least one of the sheath filaments is formed from a material exhibiting oleophobic characteristics. ### Claim 13 A cut resistant hydrophobic yarn, comprising: a core constructed of one or more core filaments of a high performance material of fiberglass, high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), stainless steel, aramid, liquid-crystal polymer (LCP), aromatic polymer and combinations thereof having cut resistant properties; and a sheath constructed of two or more filaments of nylon, polyester, cotton, cotton blends and combinations thereof, at least one of the sheath filaments being treated to exhibit hydrophobic and/or oleophobic characteristics. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The yarn of claim 13, wherein the sheath filaments are wrapped together around the core filaments. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The yarn of claim 13, wherein one of the sheath filaments is an inner wrap and the other of the sheath filaments is an outer wrap. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The yarn of claim 15, wherein the inner wrap is an S-wrap and the outer wrap is a Z-wrap.
