BLACK CHAINMAIL GLOVESLS1692BY LEGENDS IN STEEL Chain mail armor was one of the first armors developed in the medieval era. A well-made chain mail could spell life and a weak chain mail, its end. The mail links are "butted" and the weave is a "European 4 in 1" pattern and are consistent in size(developed and used in Europe the weave is called "4 in 1" because every one ring is attached to 4 other rings). This very cool and affordable pair of 18-gauge chain mail gloves feature a darkened finish and are lined in genuine leather for comfortable padded wear. One size fits most.

Chain mail is made by creating a weave of multiple interlocking ringlets of iron or steel that, as a whole, are stronger than simply the sum of it parts; Chain Mail gloves or "gauntlets" were a piece of body-protection that saw widespread use. Known throughout ancient times as a warriors body armor, chainmail remained a primary protection until the advent of plated steel armor. Although the effectiveness of bare mail armors was somewhat lessened by the advancement of blunt and piercing weapon designs, chainmail remained an added component beneath plated armour due to its strength, flexibility and ease of wear.
