Manchette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Manchette is a special glove cover worn by fencers, specifically sabreurs, on their weapon hand. Covered by a type of brocaded fabric with inwoven metal threads that serve as a conductive surface that aides in the practice of electric fencing, the manchette is worn on the hand and wrist. The manchette is conducting up to but not exceeding the wrist area. It is worn in conjunction with a lamé.
