Stay protected during battle, even down to your fingertips, with the Steel Churburg Gauntlets. These short gauntlets are articulated, so each digit is covered with a series of metal plates connected to an hourglass style cuff. Made of 16 gauge steel, these historic style gauntlets feature a leather underlayer sewn to tips of the fingers and further secured in place with leather loops. A buckled leather strap fortifies the overall fit of the gauntlet and can be adjusted to specifically suit the wearer. Ideal for keeping movements quick and precise, the hourglass shape of the cuff allows for a wide variety of unhindered wrist movement.

These are hands down the best gauntlets I have ever gotten. I have fairly small hands and the standard size fit perfectly. They are solidly built and very flexible and offer great finger movement. I was planning on using them just for costume purposes, but I may try them for combat as well.
