Abstract: Protective glove of coat of mail material characterised in that the band for holding the glove (1) in position is constituted by a strip (6) which is rolled up on itself in such a manner as to constitute a spiral spring which is movable between, on the one hand, an open position and, on the other hand, a retracted position towards which it is returned if no external force is exerted on it, the spiral spring (6) being able to slide in the annular pocket (3) in order to move towards the open position under the action of the force exerted by the user when he puts the glove (1) on, before being automatically returned to the retracted position in order to hold the glove around the user's wrist
