Medieval Padded Chainmail Gauntlets - Mild Steel Round Flat Ring Riveted - 9mm 17 Gauge

Step into the shoes of medieval warriors with these padded chainmail gauntlets, inspired by historical examples used across Europe between the 12th and 15th centuries. Each gauntlet is meticulously handcrafted from 9mm flat mild steel rings held together with round rivets, creating a flexible yet exceptionally strong layer of defense against slashes and glancing blows.

The interior features thick padding that cushions the hand, reducing impact and abrasion during use. The palm and thumb are lined with soft leather, improving grip and comfort. This thoughtful combination of materials makes these gauntlets practical for a wide range of applications, from handling medieval weapons to static display in your collection.

Their classic gauntlet silhouette fully covers the hand while allowing the fingers to rest comfortably together, just as historical examples were designed for enhanced defense. Offering a balanced blend of protection and comfort, these chainmail gauntlets are a must-have accessory for anyone interested in the heritage of medieval combat gear. Whether displayed with your armor set or used in controlled training environments, these padded gauntlets embody the spirit of authentic medieval craftsmanship.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Dry after use: Always dry mittens thoroughly after use, especially if they become damp with sweat or moisture.

Oil the rings: To prevent rust, lightly oil the chain mail rings periodically with mineral oil or machine oil. Wipe off any excess with a soft cloth.

Avoid prolonged moisture: Store them in a dry place away from direct moisture. Never leave them in damp storage bags or on wet surfaces.

Leather Care: Treat leather lining occasionally with a leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.

Chainmail: Wipe with a dry cloth after each use. For a more thorough cleaning, gently brush off any residue and re-oil.

Leather: Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally before conditioning.

Storage: Store flat or hanging in a well-ventilated area to allow air circulation. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers.

Inspection: Periodically check rivets and rings for signs of looseness or wear. Repair any damage immediately to maintain full protection.
