Introducing the 14th Century Hourglass Steel Gauntlets, a pair of armor pieces that blend historical authenticity with functional design.

Crafted from 16-gauge mild steel, these gauntlets offer robust protection without compromising the wearer’s dexterity. Each gauntlet features short, flared cuffs that safeguard the wrists while allowing for full range of motion. This is a critical factor for swordsmen, mercenaries, and knights of all disciplines.

Mobility and Protection

Also, the design includes a large plate that covers the back of the hand. This ensures that every part of the wearer’s hand is shielded from the rigors of combat.

The gauntlets’ fingers are protected by overlapping plates, with the outermost plates specifically designed to protect the knuckles from direct hits. This detailed attention to the protection of each finger segment allows for a grip that is both secure and comfortable, enabling the wearer to wield their weapon with confidence and precision.

Each gauntlet is equipped with leather loops that secure the armor onto the hands, preventing slippage during movement. Additionally, the gauntlets are stitched to suede gloves, providing an additional layer of comfort and wearability. This combination of steel protection and suede interior makes the gauntlets ideal for long periods of use, whether in battle reenactments or historical demonstrations.

The 14th Century Hourglass Steel Gauntlets are not merely protective equipment; they are a piece of history brought to life. They are perfect for those who seek to embody the spirit of medieval warriors, be it in reenactment events, theatrical productions, or simply as a remarkable addition to a collection.
