Also known as the electric jacket. This is a lightweight metallic skillet worn over the padded jacket. This jacket also indicates the target area used in foil fencing. This metallic jacket is used only in electric fencing. The jacket itself when hit by an opponent using an electric foil will set off a light on the electrical scoring box to show the fencers and the referee that a touch has been made.
