Medieval Mitten Gauntlets

In the Medieval time-period, it was not an uncommon occurrence for a knight to find himself in the middle of a fierce and brutal battle. The condition and quality of his armor provided hope for another day. Armor in this time-period included a helmet and chest protection, they also needed a way to protect their hands.

These clamshell mitten gauntlets securely covered the hands with protective steel. The area protecting the fingers features a hinged assembly allowing for easy movement. The wrist can also bend and flex in a comfortable fashion. Suede gloves are worn inside the mitten to provide a barrier between skin and metal. Leather straps by the cuff and thumb provide a secure grip.

These gloves measure 13 inches long with a 6 inch opening at the cuff. These mittens are made from a high quality 16 gauge steel.
