15th Century Jousting Gauntlets
199€
Description of the Product
All armor is a trade-off between mobility and how well it protects you. Milanese mitten style gauntlets tended to focus more on heavy protection, the surfaces were smooth and rounded and all of the fingers were protected with one continuous plate (or plates). This however restricted finger movement. If you used gauntlets that had each finger separately armoured you would have much better mobility to use your weapon, grapple with your opponent etc. But again better mobility comes at the price of having your fingers more vulnerable than being fully covered with one plate. When these gauntlets were designed a compromise between these two classic models of gauntlets was made. You still have separate fingers for dexterity but extending the metacarpal plate protecting the back of hand added the rigidity and safety needed.
Gauntlets such as these would have been used as jousting gauntlets during tournaments, or by the heavy cavalry in war. These types of Italian-style gauntlets for the joust can be seen from c. 1425 to the end of the century.
Made of 1.6 mm steel. Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods used in manufacturing. Weight 2,24 kg/pair. Made by Marshall Historical.
Available in two sizes: 9 and 11.

Jukka Valli12/03/2024Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.
Hanna Nieminen10/03/2024Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

Maaret Pasanen29/02/2024Siis aivan huikea!! Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista! Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa. Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍 Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
