16th-17th century cuirassier Gauntlets 16 gauge

The battle is about to start. Your squadron is called to the front, and as you calmly take your place in the first line, you know while clutching your deadly blade that your good old gauntlets won’t let any impact reach your hands.

Their elegant look and mobility make them one of our most popular pieces of medieval armour for years, widely appreciated in LARP and reenactment. It comes as no surprise that they are based on 16th-17th century cuirassier’s gauntlets known for providing freedom of movement in combat.

These are HANDMADE from sturdy 16-gauge MILD STEEL plates carefully riveted together to offer proper articulation and minimize movement restriction. Each finger is made of several tiny finger lames, riveted to a high-quality leather strip. It comes in one size that fits most. Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
