This pair of replica medieval gauntlets are made from high quality leather and 18 gauge steel plates. The expert lining on these gauntlets is made of finely stitched leather that goes up to the forearm. In Medieval times war was carried out through hand to hand combat. Because your enemy was bound to be holding a sword or other melee weapon, hands and wrists were vulnerable areas to aim for.
With a combination of leather, plated steel and rivets the arms, wrists and hands would be well protected from hard blows, allowing a warrior to continue fighting. This pair of leather and steel gauntlets is completely wearable and they are practically one size fits all.
