Medieval Gauntlets

Gauntlets were armor that protected the hands, wrists and forearms. There were many types of gauntlets ranging from leather to Steel. Sometimes Gauntlets are mistaken with the very similar Vambraces. The difference is that gauntlets protected the hands while Vambraces left the hands exposed and covered only the wrists and forearms. This allowed for better manipulation of weapons.
