Carbon fibre sock (also called carbon braid or carbon sleeve) is a tubular braided carbon reinforcement used for strengthening round or irregular shapes where flat cloth is difficult to apply neatly.

The braid expands and contracts, allowing it to be slipped over tubes, rods, shafts, or corners and then wetted out with resin.
