What does a fencer use starting with f?

The basic equipment for a fencer is a helmet made of wire mesh and metal. There is an under plastron on the arm which holds the sWord to protect the body from under the arm to just above the waist. The under plastron looks a bit like a coat that has been chopped in half. On top of this is the plastron which is the main protector. It is a white jacket. There is a glove with padding for the hand holding the sWord and finally some track pants.
