Description
These chainmail mittens combine the comfort of padded genuine leather with the strength of 9 mm, 17-gauge flat steel rings, each one riveted and alternated with solid rings for extra durability. Inspired by medieval gauntlets, they provide solid protection for the hands and wrists while keeping movement free and natural during combat or reenactment.
The soft padded leather lining cushions the hands, making these mittens comfortable even during long wear, while the outer chainmail layer offers authentic medieval-style defense that looks great and performs well.
