1. A coiled sheath system configured to receive at least a pair of electrical cords, comprising:
a sheath body that includes an elongate configuration having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, said first sheath body having a first lobe portion and a second lobe portion adjacent to said first lobe portion, said first lobe portion and said second lobe portion extending between said first and second ends of said sheath body;
wherein:
said first lobe portion has a tubular configuration defining a first lobe interior area and defining a first slot in communication with said first lobe interior area configured to receive a first cord into said first lobe interior area;
said second lobe portion has a tubular configuration defining a second lobe interior area and defining a second slot in communication with said second lobe interior area configured to receive a second cord into said second lobe interior area;
said sheath body is constructed of a resilient and flexible material that is movable between a stretched linear configuration and a relaxed coiled configuration such that the first and second cords are caused to adopt the configuration of first and second lobes when received therein, respectively;
wherein:
said first lobe portion is constructed of a flexible and resilient material such that, in cooperation with said first slot, said first lobe portion is movable between a closed configuration blocking access to said first lobe interior area and an open configuration permitting access to said first lobe interior area; and
said second lobe portion is constructed of a flexible and resilient material such that, in cooperation with said second slot, said second lobe portion is movable between a closed configuration blocking access to said second lobe interior area and an open configuration permitting access to said second lobe interior area;
said first lobe portion includes a first line of indicia extended along and adjacent to said first slot; and
said second lobe portion includes a second line of indicia extended along and adjacent to said second slot.
