 Modern protective gloves called "gauntlets" continue to be worn in various professions: metal workers and welders use heat-insulated gauntlets that lack metal plates, and similar varieties are worn by automotive technicians to protect their hands when handling car components; meat and fishery butchers often wear chain mail gauntlets to protect their hands from the sharp edges of knives; motorcyclists wear leather gauntlets to protect their hands from abrasion; snowmobile drivers wear fingerless nylon gauntlets to protect their hands from wind and cold temperatures; falconers wear leather gauntlets to protect their hands from the sharp claws of the birds of prey that they handle; and lastly, modern fencers (particularly those competing with the épée) routinely wear fingered gauntlets to protect their hands from their opponents' weapons.
