The disclosure relates to a protective sleeve for selectively providing a barrier between an undesirable environmental condition and a sensing device. The protective sleeve includes a sleeve body that is movable between a stowed orientation and a deployed orientation. In the deployed orientation the sleeve body produces a barrier between the environmental conditions and the sensing device. The sleeve body is movable between the stowed and deployed orientations by an actuator. The protective sleeve includes a processing system including a sensor for sensing the environmental conditions. The processing system controller and processor programmed to selectively power the actuator when an undesirable environmental condition is sensed by the sensor to move the sleeve body to the deployed orientation, and also selectively power the actuator to cause the actuator to move the sleeve body to the stowed orientation in the absence of an undesirable environmental condition.
