A heat-shrinkable sleeve consisting of at least one heat-shrinkable component and a mechanical reinforcing component secured thereto, characterized by the reinforcing component being permanently secured to the heat-shrinkable component after completion of the heat-shrinking process. The mechanical reinforcing component, preferably, consists of a carrier foil on which mechanical reinforcing elements are arranged and the reinforcing elements are preferably arranged to extend in two directions so that tearing of the sleeve is extremely limited.
