Guard your hands while out defending the kingdom or adventuring. The Scouts Gauntlets provide both great mobility and protection, made of 19 gauge mild steel with a slightly thicker steel plate further defending the wrist joint. Sold as a set of two, these medieval steel gauntlets consist of a series of plates hand crafted and forged to suit the shapes of the hand. The lower hand plate flares out over the knuckles, and the forearm plate is rounded to better fit the shape of the lower arm. The wide steel plate over top of these is riveted at the wrist, and its edges are rolled edges are curled outward to keep from getting in the way of movement and for better deflecting blows. Strong yet flexible brown leather straps secure the demi gauntlets in place around the wrist, palm, and thumb. Wear these polished steel gauntlets over your own favorite pair of leather gloves for your next LARP battle, roleplaying event, or medieval fantasy costuming occasion.
Due to the handcrafted nature of this armour piece, there may be slight natural deviations in its pattern, color, and shape.

I waited so long for these to come back in stock, and the wait was absolutely worth it! So excited to use these for my next larp event!

Well made and sturdy, only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the River on one of the thumbs was loose cause the thumb plate to dig into my thumb, I can either figure out a way to tighten the rivet or get thick gloves. Other than that not a bad product

These gauntlets are hard to get a hold of! I waited several months for them to come back in stock, but the wait was certainly worth it. These are smaller and more flexible than most metal gauntlets, and will pair well with a great many outfits.
