Small steel scales are riveted to the firm leather base – such design makes fingers’ movements comfortable and easy. Fingered knight gauntlet is fixed on the hand with a belt and buckle. It is recommended to wear this hand armor over the leather glove, to which leather parts could be sewn.

Medieval plate gauntlets don’t restrict movements of hand, that is very important during fencing or battle.
