In Medieval times, Gauntlets were used by soldiers and knights and were considered an important piece of armour, since the fingers, hands and arms were particularly vulnerable during hand-to-hand combat. These completely jointed, wearable Knight's gauntlets are constructed from durable 18 gauge blackened steel. They are lined in leather for wearable comfort and offer leather straps and 18 gauge steel buckles for a tight and secure fit. They are a perfect fit for LARP, reenactors and collectors alike.

THE MEDIEVAL KNIGHT AND HIS ARMOUR
To "throw down the gauntlet" is to issue a challenge. A gauntlet-wearing knight would challenge a fellow knight or enemy to a duel by throwing one of his gauntlets on the ground. The opponent would pick up the gauntlet to accept the challenge. The phrase is associated particularly with the action of the King's Champion, which officer's role was from medieval times to act as champion for the King at his coronation, in the unlikely event that someone challenged the new King's title to the throne.
