"A soldier who loses fingers loses his trade; guard your hands as you would your neck." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Forged from dependable 16-gauge mild steel, these Avenger gauntlets provide the necessary balance between sturdy defence and the dexterity required to direct a blade. Each plate is shaped by hand on the anvil, crafted to withstand the harsh clatter of combat in reenactments and heavy LARP campaigns.
Underneath the steel casing, integrated suede leather gloves cushion your palms against the jarring impact of blows while ensuring a firm, responsive grip upon a spear haft or sword pommel. Too often, clumsy hand protection hinders proper wrist articulation; here, articulated plates work alongside the supple hide to preserve swift parrying and fluid strikes. Solid brass buckles paired with thick leather straps fasten the plate firmly to your arm, keeping the defences aligned and steady during active melee.
Measuring roughly 25.4 cm from fingertip to cuff and spanning 13 cm across, these gauntlets are patterned to fit most warriors without cumbersome modification. The attached suede inner gloves facilitate immediate deployment right from the armoury chest. To preserve the steel against damp field conditions, rub the plates regularly with light mineral oil, and ensure the interior leather is allowed to dry thoroughly between muster calls. For fighters seeking dependable hand armour that marries martial protection with swift handling, these pieces will serve you well on the line.
