Milanese Gauntlets

Warrior, do not forget to protect your hands from attack in battle. Wear the Milanese Gauntlets to guard your hands from enemy blows. Made from 16-gauge steel, these gauntlets come as a pair. Based on gauntlets popular in the 15th century, each one has a mitten style with a flared cuff. The flared cuff provides greater mobility without sacrificing protection of the wrist.

Next, the mitten style features a main plate that covers the back of the hand while two plates protect the fingers. The two plates overlap each other. One covers the tips of the fingers while the other covers the first knuckle. There are two similar plates protecting the thumb.

The gauntlets secure to the hand with leather straps. You can wear these gauntlets with your armour ensemble. They are great for a historical reenactment. The Milanese Gauntlets look wonderful at a faire or LARP event. They match the Milanese Suit of Armour (AB0063), sold separately.

Add detail and comfort to your armoured look by wearing these gauntlets over a pair of our leather gloves.
