Hourglass Gauntlets

Hourglass Gauntlets

Epic Armoury's Hourglass Gauntlets are a set of mild steel gloves designed to protect the wrist, back of the hand and knuckles in combat without compromising maneuverability. From fingers to the wrist, you can expect these gauntlets to keep you safe. Each gauntlet protects the fingers, covering them with thick leather, knuckle plates and shiny brass rivets. The back of the hand is protected by a rigid, sculpted plate. A short vambrace protects the wrist.

The steel is decorated with colored split leather and the gauntlet is worn with a leather glove underneath. The finger protection of the glove is sewn onto the leather glove, with a leather strap around the palm to secure the gauntlet onto the hand. Made from polished mild steel with rolled edges, these gauntlets are impressive in appearance and easily paired with other Epic Armoury armors.

• Available in Emperor Red & Gold, Emerald Green & Gold and Epic Black & Gold colors
