If you are looking for armour for your hands that is suitable for exhibition combat and also offers quality and is easy on your wallet, you have come to the right place! These sturdy and lightweight hourglass gloves based on historical models are not only high quality , but also affordable .




Gauntlets were an indispensable part of plate armour in the late Middle Ages. They offered optimal protection for hands and wrists both on the battlefield and in jousting tournaments.



Due to their special hourglass shape, the late medieval combat gloves we offer here in pairs are also known as hourglass gloves . They are handmade from approximately 1.6 mm thick steel (slight variations in the steel thickness are possible due to the manufacturing process). The inside is blackened for better protection against corrosion.



These combat-ready armoured gauntlets are characterised not only by their authentic appearance , but also by their flexibility , which guarantees sufficient freedom of movement. Riveted inner gloves made of soft suede and additional sewn-in finger inserts made of durable leather ensure the necessary comfort. A sturdy riveted leather strap on each palm keeps the glove firmly in place, ensuring a secure hold during combat.



Thanks to their elegant simplicity , these freely movable plate gauntlets can be combined with a variety of medieval knightly armour. They are best suited to late medieval settings and are particularly suitable for completing the armour of a 14th century European warrior or knight. Their flexible design and relatively light weight make these fingered gauntlets ideal for re-enactments or show fights. Of course, they are also perfect for costumes or as a decorative or collectible item.





So why should you doubt its excellent value for money any longer? Order these handmade armoured gloves now and let us convince you!





The steel used here is not stainless and may show slight signs of corrosion. We recommend taking care of the plate gloves regularly, for example with Ballistol, a universal oil ideal for preserving steel products.



The above specifications may vary slightly from specimen to specimen.
