Gauntlet - Steel Medieval Gauntlet- Large

Step into the realm of historical authenticity and unparalleled hand protection with our meticulously crafted Gauntlets - a marvel made from 20-gauge steel that epitomizes the evolution of hand and wrist defense inspired by centuries of European combat and armor design. These iconic gloves, crafted from hardened leather or interlocking metal plates, reigned supreme as the preferred choice for European warriors from the early 14th to the 19th centuries.

The genesis of gauntlets traces back to the 11th century, an era when European soldiers and knights heavily relied on chain mail for their protection. Witnessing the advancement of armor technology in the 12th century, chain mail shirts with extended, narrower sleeves emerged, featuring chain mail mittens to augment hand safeguarding. While effective against cuts and lacerations, these mittens fell short in withstanding crushing blows.

The turning point arrived in the early 14th century when armorers revolutionized personal defense with the advent of fully articulated plate armor. This groundbreaking innovation paved the way for the creation of gauntlets, meticulously crafted from overlapping steel plates, offering unparalleled hand protection. Gauntlets manifested in two distinct styles: the fingerless "mitten" version and the fully fingered "glove" variant, each catering to different needs—one prioritizing comfort in colder conditions and the other emphasizing greater dexterity.
