Description
These 18-gauge steel gauntlets are modelled after those worn during the late Middle Ages. Their overlapping plates move with your fingers and wrist, providing both durability and flexibility.
These gauntlets, made of 18-gauge steel, provide protection and a controllable weight, roughly replicating the armour employed by late mediaeval troops while remaining practical for long-term wear.
The extended cuff covers the wrist and forearm, while the knuckle plates and riveted finger lames provide impact resistance to strikes and weapons. The inner leather gloves are padded for comfort and provide a solid grip on your sword, axe, or polearm. Adjustable straps hold them securely in place, even during vigorous use.
Perfect for practical wear in historical combat sports or as an impressive addition to an armor display, these gauntlets are a solid blend of authenticity and durability.
