A is the name of the electronically conductive jacket worn by Foil and Sabre Fencers . In foil, the lamé extends on the torso from the shoulders to the groin area. It also covers the back. In sabre, the lamé covers both arms, the torso from the shoulders to the waist, and the back. In addition, sabre fencers wear masks that allow them to register head touches and a conductive glove cover, called a Manchette on their weapon hand. Lamés are wired by use of a body cord to a scoring machine, which causes the other person's weapon to register a touch. Lamés are most commonly made of a polyester jacket. The outside of the lamé, however, is made of a thin, interwoven metal, usually steel and copper.
