Chain Mail Gloves Riveted 9 mm 17 Gauge

These Chain mail gloves are made for historical accuracy, comfort and use. Inspired by medieval knightly hand armor, they have padded genuine leather mittens with riveted chainmail for reliable protection of the hands and wrists.

The gloves are constructed with 9 mm ID flat mild steel rings, made in 17 gauge, round riveted and alternated with solid flat rings. This traditional construction method creates a tighter, stronger weave compared to butted mail, just like the authentic medieval armor.

Towards the palm of the hand, the padded leather cushions the hands and helps absorb shock, which helps in comfortable wear even during long periods of use. The outer chainmail layer provides strength and resistance while maintaining flexibility, ensuring the wearer can grip weapons or props without restriction. The integrated thumb design gives full hand coverage while helping in movement and control.

These gloves chainmail pieces are ideal for stage performers, LARP players, and historical combat training where realism and comfort are equally important.
