Hourglass Demi Gauntlets

Epic Armoury’s Hourglass Demi Gauntlets are a set of mild steel gloves designed to protect the wrist and back of the hand in combat without compromising maneuverability. Each gauntlet is forged to fit comfortably over the hand, overlapping the first knuckles with a thick metal plate decorated with shiny metal rivets. A short vambrace protects the wrist.

The steel fits comfortably over your own leather glove, worn through the vambrace opening and secured with a full grain leather band around the palm. Made from polished mild steel with rolled edges, these demi gauntlets are impressive and affordable. With its low-fantasy and neutral appearance, these Hourglass Demi Gauntlets are easily paired with other Epic Armoury metal works.

• Available in Epic Dark and Polished Steel colors
  
• Gauntlets are put on top of leather gloves that can be purchased separately

History
