Leather Gauntlets

Description

As there is no evidence for gauntlets from the Viking period, those of us who wish to feel safe whilst fighting full contact in viking gear must find alternatives that might suit for the period.

Since leather doesen`t preserve well through the ages and has been known to be used as armor, one of the most logical choices of gauntlets for a fighter wearing a Viking Age set is to use mittens covered with thick leather lames.

These gauntlets are hand sewn from real leather and are covered by 4-6mm leather that has been treated with beeswax for extra rigidness.

Ordering a single gauntlet for either hand is also available for 70€.
