History and Present Day:

Chainmail gloves boast a rich history. As far back as the Middle Ages, knights and other warriors used them as a vital part of their armour. They offered protection against cutting weapons while still allowing for relatively good weapon handling. These gauntlets carry on this tradition, combining a historical appearance with modern manufacturing techniques.

Nowadays, you'll find them invaluable not only for historical reenactment and LARP but also at various historical festivals and performances, where they'll perfectly complement your authentic costume.

A Historical Tidbit:

Did you know that some early forms of chainmail gloves had the fingers connected, much like mittens, to provide maximum protection? It wasn't until later that gloves with separate fingers evolved for better dexterity.
