The 14th Century Hourglass Gauntlets feature an hourglass-shaped cuff that helps protect the wrist and back of the hand. Several plates guard each of the fingers, which have leather rings to help keep them in place when worn.

These steel gauntlets work well for LARP events and historical re-enactments, so be sure to check them out when planning your next armoured ensemble.

These are lovely gauntlets. I believe I have above average hand size but the standard size fits my hands just right. Build quality overall is great and the leather gloves that come with the gauntlets are fine as well. The only reason I considered taking one star off is that the gauntlets are slightly different than pictured here. The metal parts that cover your wrist are open as opposed to being closed. I suppose it’s not a big deal but it’s different from what I expected.

They are of awesome quality and come oiled!
The metal does not wrap around your wrist despite showing in the photos. However, this was done so that the maneuverability of your wrists was not obstructed if you intended to use intricate maneuvers of a long sword.
